Mobo dead?

subtle · 07-02-2007, 02:51 PM

My friend spilled something on his laptop. But after he dried it it was working ok for about a month.
Then there was a little bit of smoke and laptop died.
There is nothing on the screen (nothing at all, not even a blink).
I plug it to my pc monitor and the same thing - nothing.
I checked HDD in my laptop and it's working OK.
I'm guessing mobo failed (since there is nothing on the screen).
But I'm wondering if the processor faild as well, or not...

Any suggestions?
Do you think I might be right (with the mobo), or not?
