HP DV9700 - A spill occurred on the keyboard, and apparently it didn't turn on after that. (This was some months ago)
I managed to power the laptop up by using some old laptop tricks. (Take out the battery & PS and hold the power button down for a short while and then reconnect the power cord.)
But.. when powered off for a short period of time, it doesn't seem to want to power back up unless I commence the Ritual again!!
The first time I got it to power up was when I re-seated the ram.. (I Think?)
The 2nd time for sure, I took out the battery, unplugged, then replugged the power connector and did not put the battery back in. It turned on.
The battery does not work.. (No charge, HP check says 100%, but not detected)
So.. what is going on here? Motherboard bad or something less expensive?
Any thoughts or ideas?

Maybe the power switch isn't working properly? Seeing as how it only turns on when it wants.
