Spilled tea on my Toshiba

[GodfatherOT]

Spilled tea on my laptop, before I switch off it turned off by its own, I tried to take it apart but could not do that fully. dried it for a day and switch on, fan and green light go on the screen doesnot for 10 sec, and turn off by its own again. next day took all apart and noticed liquid dried marks only on the corner of the motherboard. I cleaned with isoprobyl 91% and left for a day to dry, but same thing happens. for about one week now every time I switch on same thing happen, any advice?!

There isn't much that you can do for something like this as soon as you turn it on again for the first time any procedures that could fix the problem will no longer work. You can submerge a whole motherboard in water and it won't have any problems as long as no electricity is running through it even the battery. It is when you first power it on again or even I have noticed laptops that have been in a hibernating state have survived things like falling into polls, or dropped in whatever else you can image but they come out fine amazingly enough. But that is all with the proper procedure of letting it dry out properly. I think you rushed the drying process to much, you should of let it dry out for almost a full week in front of the fan and removed the coin cell battery as well as any stickers because these trap liquid underneath the sticker that can cause the board to short out. There still is a slim chance if you try the proper procedure that you might be able to save it, but I doubt it. I know this wasn't the answer you wanted to hear but just use it as a future reference. Take everything apart including the ram modules hard drive etc... and sit everything in front of a fan for a full week. If you would have done that you would of had the highest chance to save it, you just rushed it.
