splashed some vinegar on keyboard?

How do I get my Dell laptop to power up after a splash of vinegar? The red light to the far right flashes, but nothing else is happening.

Buy a new keyboard. You can get them from £5 nowadays. In my opinion the Dell supplied keyboards aren't very good anyway so use this as an opportunity to get a nicer one.

Pop the keys off, clean pcb with water and q-tips, dry thoroughly ... you might be lucky.

ps.. try using a cool hair drier to dry the board and keyswitches.
