    Hi,

    I spilled coffee on my Vaio. It shut down; I had pulled the power and battery, but it won't restart (I'm pretty sure the coffee is dried out, and after disassembling it, I didn't see any coffee stains under the keyboard).

    I read in a post that unplugging the CMOS battery could reset things. I'm assuming the way to unplug the battery is to pull the connector wire from the white/beige looking connector post on the motherboard, but it's so small it is hard to grab, and it doens't seem to come out (I don't want to force it). Is this the way to do it? Should I use tweezers, or should I be doing something else here. Any help would be appreciated. Thx.
