I spilled coke on my motherboard and my computer instantly shut off. I figured it was a motherboard problem because of the beep pattern on the computer front panel. I got a new motherboard physics everything back in still doesn’t start just does a different beep sequence or blinks if you will. There are 3 long blinks then 2 fast blinks then repeats. The only thing I can think of is maybe the cords the coke spilled on the old motherboard. I will try and a a picture of the old motherboard with the coke on it.

Update your post to include full system hardware specs and OS information.

Google the Motherboard's manufacturer's website to find the applicable motherboard User Guide/Manual.

Refer to the User Guide/Manual to determine the meaning(s) of the beep codes, blinks, or other troubleshooting LEDs.
