A friend's daughter spilled a cup[ of coffee onto the keyboard of her laptop. She turned it off as quick as she could and then let it sit open and upside down for 2 days. When she starts the unit up now, it stays "up" for about 3-4 seconds and shuts off.

He's wanting me to take a look but I have no idea where to start. sounds if though something has been shorted out.

Any ideas? New laptop?

Thanks,
