Laptop + wine = Random bootage [sony vaio] [glass of wine]
Q: About a year ago, my father (ex) friend “accidentally” poured a glass of wine in his laptop (a Sony Vaio, 1.7Ghz P4-M). At first it would hang at startup. He took it apart and cleaned parts, and now boots every ~ 6-10 times. Yesterday was starting a whole. He uses it to work from home, so it would be nice if he could get it working all the time again. Any thoughts on what the problem is most likely? I assume that, no matter the problem, it will end with a trained professional . Im guessing it would be a permanent hardware-type thing that can not be repaired, but can be changed, and Ive never worked in a laptop.

liquid and lappys do not mix .
