I bought an Acer Aspire One 722 11.6" Netbook a few years back. It has 4GB RAM, a 120GB SATA2 SSD (my upgrade), a C-60 APU, and came with Windows 7 64-bit.
I was rather fond of this tiny and slow little thing.
Anyways, I keep it powered-off on my bed, along with some other laptops.
I spilled some seltzer in my bed a week ago. I didn't think it got on the laptops, but it could have possibly leaked in from below, or the exhaust vent on the side I guess.
Anyways, a few days ago, I wanted to reconfigure a router, so I picked up this netbook, and attempted to power it on, and it was dead.
I tried plugging in the AC, removing the battery and plugging in the AC, nothing.
The little LEDs in front that light up when powered on and plugged in / charging etc., don't come on at all when the AC is plugged in.
I'm pretty sure I had the SSD backed up on my server, but it's a bit disconcerting.
I tried (with battery out) holding down the power switch for a while, then plugging in the AC, but that didn't do much either.
I think it's well and good dead, somehow.
Any ideas? I'm not that well-versed in complete dis-assembly of laptops. (My main area of expertise is desktops.)
