    i proceded to take the laptop apart noticed the wasnt much of the drink any further down than the underside of the keyboard so i cleaned it and left it to dry overnight.
    so this afternoon when i got back from work i re-assembled the laptop and powered up and it tripped straight out as soon as the dell scree came on (after about 2 seconds from pressing the power button. i tryed again and it started up to my pure amazment, however the mouse pad wasnt working.
    after taking it apart again and playing with the mouse pad plug socket on the inside, i put it back together, but then it kept tripping again
    But after leaving it another hour its come back on

    Welcome to D-A-L.

    If you're not experienced in laptop repair, I suggest you take it to a reputable service shop. Explain what happened, (and what "cleaning" you've performed,) and let them clean/repair as necessary.
