    I have an m1710 with complete care and I accidently spilled coke on it while it was still on. It now doesnt turn on anymore. I wanted to know if dell will fix it with spare parts or give me a replacement like m17x?

    They will most likely replace it as the M1710 has been end of life for some time now. Call Dell Support and report the incident to get the ball rolling.

    Yes I agree and call Dell. The warranty will use new or used parts to get your laptop working. If they don't have the parts then they'll probably give you a refurbished or new unit.
