I just received a laptop for free from someone who spilled Coke all over it. The PC stopped working and wouldn't power on, only charging indicator lights lighting up when plugged in to the wall. I tried cleaning up the laptop with isopropyl and got rid of the gunk within the laptop and the motherboard. It still wouldn't boot.
So today I received a replacement motherboard from eBay. The seller claims the motherboard was tested and was able to post/boot. I plugged in everything into the laptop and the PC turns on but nothing shows up on the display and the CPU fan does not spin. I tried using the old fan from the water damaged board and same results followed.
The charging indicator and HDD indicator led both light up but that's it. It would be nice to get this thing running. I also removed the CMOS battery for 5 minutes and placed a screw driver between the negative and positive terminals to make sure all the charge was gone but still the same results follow of leds lighting up with no display or fan spinning.
Laptop: Asus X502CA
Any ideas what would be causing this? Thanks.
