    I spilled coffee on my acer laptop and now it won't start when I press the power button. Also, at the time that I spilled coffee on it the screen went white and no buttons responded. Is it too late for my laptop for can I still try to get it looked at? The power LED light does not light up when the power is plugged in either.

    Don't toss it out before you try to dry it or send it to Acer to evaluate. Have them call with an estimate before they do repairs.
