Make sure you DO NOT plug in your lap top to the power out let. This could cause a shock.
You see the Dell media direct, means your CMOS is OK.
But if Windows is not loading means the spill could have damaged your hard drive. I would strongly suggest you take it to a shop where they repair laptops.
This way you may have to replace your hard drive, but save your note book.

Dell 1720 says plugged in not charging , works fine on cord , now that battery is down will not work on battery alone . meter when pushed will light one white light then goes out. battery bad ?

Hello there.
Unfortunately, your battery is "dead". I used to have Dell notebook for several years, and on everyone, after 1 year, battery gone. If your battery is still under warranty go to official Dell service and let
they replace it. If not, you have to buy a new one, and it is at least 130$.

I hope I was helpfull.

Sincerely,
Steve TM

Distorted sound on my dell inspiron 1720

You probably need to reinstall the drivers for it. Visit your manufacturers website to download it.

Open up a browser and go to support.dell.com

Look for anything that says driver and download and click on it.

It will ask you to choose by several options, choose select by service tag. Your service tag can be found on a sticker underneath your laptop.

After you get to the page with the list of available downloads, look for audio, then download and install the one under that.

Hope this helps.

Distorted sound - drink spilt

ok..that's helpful..the sound card, so to speak, is embedded on motherboard on these units, so you'll need to replace that entirely(not simple, but not out of the realm of possibility).

Water damaged TV

If the set was on most likely severe damage by the cold drink and are not that easy to remove. It won;t just dry up like water would but, will leave behind a sticky conductive substance on the board basically shorting it out. Count your losses and purchase another television.
