The laptop is an Asus k55n. A can of soda (unopened) dropped on the 'panel', next to the touchpad. It will no longer turn on.

I checked what component was in the area of impact. It was the hard drive, yet after I replaced the hard drive it still doesn't turn on. So is it likely the motherboard or something that is messed up? Is there any good way to find out?

Thanks for any help.
