Vostro 1000 had coffee spilled on it!

Normal 0 MicrosoftInternetExplorer4

My wife spilled coffee on her work laptop, it turns on then beeps loudly and that’s it until it is turned off.

Any suggestions?

Anything would help she is a marriage and family therapist and a lot of her work is on this machine so she is very stuck until this resolved.

Thanks in advance for any advice I build and repair desktop PC'S but laptops are not my thing.

You can pull the hard drive and mount it in a 2.5" USB 2.0 case, attach it to a working system and recover the data.

As for the system, the mainboard is fried - that's $350-500 to replace, and not worth it on a budget system like this one.  Recover the data as above and replace the notebook with a new one.
