I’ve a dell laptop for quite a long time. During cleaning my laptop I dropped some water on it by mistake. After that my laptop is overheating and sometimes it is not booting up. Sometimes caps lock keeps blinking but the laptop is not turning on. I was really worried that I had to invest a lot of money in repairing this laptop. So I contacted one of my friend joseph who is working at geek squad phone number as an computer repair agent. He suggested me to dry the laptop and some other steps which I’ve mentioned below.

Fix for caps lock issue

Reseat RAM

RAM is the memory your computer needs to run, and if your RAM ever gets jostled or unseated, your computer will not operate. Reseating the RAM requires physical access to it, so you will need to be able to open your computer case. Shut down your computer and disconnect everything, then carefully remove your RAM completely. Place it back in its slots, making sure it snaps in snugly. Close your computer frame, then try to turn it on again.

Battery and AC Adapter

For some computers, different blinking lights refer to specific issues. A blinking “Caps Lock” key can sometimes mean that there is an issue with your battery or AC Adapter. If your battery LED and “Num Lock” button are also blinking, this can mean the same thing. If the power reset and clearing your computer’s ventilation does not work, you may need to take your computer in for servicing or attempt to replace your battery, AC adapter or power supply.

After doing the same the problem was resolved. If you’re unable to fix this issue I’d suggest you to schedule a geek squad appointment. Doing this can help you in fixing the problem without damaging any other part of your laptop.
