Hi,

Well it's not mine, but i wanted to know if there are any tips and tricks for ressurecting a TP from what appears to be death.

It was all an accident (not mine luckily), too much coffee for the drain hole to handle... The battery was pulled immediatly from the powered on laptop after the accident. Disassembled and dried with rubing alcohol, but still it doesn't work after re-assembly. No charging light when the DC power is connected.

New motherboard/system board or are there more stuff that can be done?

TIA

Is it just black coffee or coffee with sugar??

Good question, i believe it was just regular black coffee. Oh well, if it will never work again a new system board is $350. I'll try with isopropyl alcohol today and tighten all screws correctly, just to see if bad ground connections might have been an issue.
