spilled water on keyboard/touchpad now wont boot properly

inpsiron 9300 - as stated, i spilled about 1/4 cup of a water on the keyboard - i immediately shut the laptop off - unplugged & turned upside down to dry.

now it wont boot UNLESS i do the following......i unplug the ac cord - remove the battery for one second - put the battery back in and boot up. that is the only combination that i can get to work.

the laptop is out of warranty, so i cleaned all the components and checked all the plugins etc but that did not do any good.

please advise if you have any ideas.......

thanks in advance.

Take the battery out and see if it will boot.

If you can not get the laptop to boot,you might have ruined the motherboard.

no it will not boot with the battery removed.....only as described above.

assuming that the mobo is faulty would you expect it to get worse as time progresses - - so far i'm ok with booting up as stated above.........i have replaced a mobo in a desktop but not in a laptop - how hard it is compared to a desktop model?

thanks for your help!
