Product Name: hp pavilion dv7-4285dx
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 7 (64-bit)
Mostly I ran into a snag. I opened a bottle of soda near my laptop and the bottle overflowed (possibly from being shaken or something)
While trying to move it away from the powercord as it spilled a bit of it gotten on the keyboard itself and where the mouse pad was. Thinking I was okay I kept the laptop on and just wipe it down with a tile and thought everything was beloved patriot dorey. Sadly that wasn't the case.
My fan started to sputter at first instead of staying full blast like it usually does. I ignored until it gave a short 1 second burst of air like a car being accelerated for a second then stopped. Eventually the burst get weaker and weaker over time till it eventually no longer does that and then my laptop shuts down cause it's overheating. It always gives a continuous blast before the soda attack happen.
So now I'm not sure if I need to replace the fan...open up the lap top and try to wipe down everything in hopes of getting it whatever soda was in it out or place it in rice for several days and hope for the best. The last thing I'm afraid of is having to replace the fan or....another part related to the fan needs to replaced. I tried to air clean the fan but that did little. And oddly enough if I leave the laptop off for a while it acts normal for maybe ten minutes before it slowly dies off to small one second burst again.
Any idea what I should be doing?
Update: Tried placing it upside down 3+ hours after it was attacked by soda. Did this for 30 minutes fan seems to be fine now. Will keep you posted if it last. I'm still however worried if I should just take this apart and dry everything else just to be safe.
Update 2: Havn't stressed the fan that much after leaving it upsidedown all night but hearing noises from the computer it never made before when it's stressed.
Update 3: Never mind the fan is still shutting off and on after an hour of it being on now. It stays on for a few moments,shuts off then turns back on. It sometimes holds out for an hour or so before it then begins shutting off and on for awhile now.
