There was a small water spill accident. Took the power supply and the battery off almost immediately. Dabbed it. Left it to dry for a day. Now when I try to start it with direct connection, it starts but flickers with a distorted black and greyish screen. Took it off the supply. How should I proceed?

No.1 - Laptop or Desktop?
No.2 - System specs please. =)
No.3 - How did the accident occur and what area did it effect?

I shall get back to you ASAP once these have been answered, thanks.

It was a laptop. It is alright now actually. Everything back to normal. :bounce:  I toughened up and ran it for more than a few mins. Fortunately, no problems.
Thanks for the welcome! :)
