Hi Sazna

I had same thing happen to my lap top 2 years ago try leaving it switched off for a couple of days or use a hair dryer to dry it out then try restarting it

you may find that it will work for short periods to begin with mine took almost 12 months to fully recover

Good Luck

Put it in a warm airing cupboard with rice

if not a" gel band "used for cooling wine in summer or for injuries

Heat the gel band in microwave place on the laptop in a dry cloth also pace the laptop onto a bowl of fresh rice

The heat dries the laptop the cloth protects it the rice draws off the moisture . DON'T GET IT TOO HOT

This works for mobile phones as well

If the coffee had sugar in the problem is worse

Recommendation I've had a few appliances repaired recently at an Electrical/ electronics engineer shop. Very satisfied and costs very reasonable. Situated on the east side of Girne in karakum in the block of shops incorporating the Stroll inn.
