    Ok here's the deal. My step son spilled a root beer onto the computer. I cleaned it all up, got as much of the soda out of the keyboard as possible and then shut it down for the night. The next day I turned it on and everything worked great. No keys were sticking and I thought I had got extremely lucky. Well the next day the keys were sticking Terribly and the computer asked me to turn on the sticky keys option so I did. This however does not work so well. I was having to hold down control alt shift just to be able to click on anything.

    So this morning I decided to open up the case (never have opened a laptop case before, don't think I did anything wrong though) and try to clean up the keyboard. Well I got the keyboard cleaned up and the keys unstuck to where they were working properly again. I put the keyboard back in and closed up the case again. Well now the laptop just plain won't turn on. I tried holding the power button for 10 seconds but nothin. I get no beeps and no fans turn on or anything. With the ac adapter cord plugged in the little green indicator light comes on, but I still can't get it to turn on.

    It's a Toshiba Satellite L455D-S5976 model running on Windows 7. The serial number is 1A418419K.

    I really hope someone has some advice or ideas for me, they would be tremendously appreciated.

    Thanks in advance and i'm looking forward to some responses.

    Sadly, you may need to send it back to Toshiba. It could be a fairly expensive repair depending on what got fried from the liquid. :(

    It was working though for a couple days after it got spilled on. It wasn't until today that I opened up the case to clean out the keyboard, put it all back together and now it won't turn on. :(

    Not much you can try except to retrace your steps and see if you made a mistake putting it back together. Take it back to the keyboard removed level and double check yourself putting it back together.

    ***Without even a fan, something is definitely wrong. Do you get any response from removing all the RAM modules and trying to start it?
