    Hi guys,

    I accidentally spilled some drops of water on my X220 tablet. It now won't even turn on. The battery icon does light up when you charge and the finger print reader also lights up.

    Do you think I need to get a new motherboard? processor? or more?

    I have data on a micro SATA hard drive and a solid state hard drive.

    I'm tempted to just buy a used x220 tablet and just plug in the hard drives?

    Please advise. How should I proceed? I have experience working on laptops so I can do fixes myself.

    Thank you

    @bonoz I guess you already solved the problem, but if not - provide more details.
