Chosen Solution
I have spilt water on my laptop earlier. But it’s wasn’t a lot and the laptop worked for 1 hour after this happened normally. When I tried to access the laptop again later on in the day it won’t turn on. I don’t know if the laptop is broken or the charger got wet and that is broken instead.
I have had a few of these lenovo boards in my shop. I have not been able to fix one to date. They all have been nightmares. Since you spilt water on your laptop, there is probably liquid still under a chip preventing it from powering on. SHUT IT OFF NOW AND REMOVE THE LOGIC BOARD!!!! Place the logic board in a basin of isopropyl alcohol and let it soak for a bit then scrub the board with a toothbrush. Put the board in an oven at it’s lowest setting for 5 min or so. Let the board dry for another day or so. Hopefully it will work. If not, corrosion has already taken place and now you need a good ultrasonic cleaning and or motherboard repair, or in the case of a consumer grade lenovo laptop, a new motherboard.
Liquid damage is why your laptop won’t turn on. Just a little bit of water on the system board creates areas of corrosion that cause parts to fail. What you should do for a liquid spill is to disconnect the power adapter, remove the battery if possible and let it dry for at least 24 hours. If the computer is out of warranty (liquid spills tend not to be covered under warranty) and you are confident enough to remove the covers and use alcohol pads to clean up the spill. Alcohol will mix with the liquid and pull the moisture out as it dries. The good news is that generally the hard drives will survive a liquid spill, although not always. You have a decent chance to recover your data.
The name of this site is iFIXIT so If this would happened to me I would open the laptop by going to a video on laptop disassembly with my model. (antistatic procedures taken) I would place parts under the sun on a sunny day or use a heat blower and blow on the motherboard at a certain distance using my judgement. I would ensure I use a anti-static wrist band when emsenbling all parts back together. I would clean the board before everything is done by spraying isopropyl alcohol and brushing with a tooth brush. I would REMEMBER to put apart the HDD and the CPU. I WILL NEED thermal paste afterwards to put some on top of the CPU when placing it back into the socket. I might solved the problem by taking the RAM sticks out of their sockets and cleaning the contacts with an eraser. I use Lion Deluxe. I would put them back and turn on the computer. I might be lucky with this. If neither of these works them it get complicated because a Digital Power Supply and a multimeter, etc. is needed. Probably with only a multimeter I might solve the problem in finding that shortcircuit but know-how is needed to do that and understand electronics and how to troubleshoot Mosfets, etc. This is only my opinion. This last method required equipment, expertise and experience. This is called chip level repair. Good Luck!
Water damage is a pain to fix but at least you are brave enough to open it up! Electronics Water Damage
