Hi, I hope someone can help...Last night, my XPS L502X got wet, I left it next to an open window... and of course it rained while I was away, never felt so stupid before...
Anyway, I dryed it out the best I could and tried to start it up, (running on battery) but the screen stayed black, however a ll the LEDS, and even the backlit keyboard turn on, but nothing else happens. I tried to shut it off as soon as it didnt start and it took a couple of seconds of pressing the off button to shut off (as it normally would)
After that I decided to let it dry completely for a couple of days... so I wont try anything for a day or two... However I need to know... Do you guys think that the fact that the LEDS and Keyboard lights turned on is a sign that the MOBO is still working? Otherwise they wouldnt light up, right? right? Im hoping that the display is the one with the problem, so I will try the HDMI on my TV in a couple of days... any other ideas?
