Water was spilt and went under the keyboard and the user moved the laptop around (spreading the water throughout the system) and now the display will not show anything

The system still receives power when the power button is pressed, I can hear the fans running and verified that the CPU, RAM, and HDD are fine with another laptop.

Replacing the motherboard should solve the issue, correct?
 
You should take the laptop apart and allow dry before trying to turn it on. You most likely killed it, when you turn it on.
 
Could have killed either the MB or the actual LCD itself or shorted out something in between, really no easy way to tell without a whole lot of parts swapping, and most users dont have all the parts needed to start doing all the swapping.

The LCD Display/driver are really susceptable (sp?) to shorting out sense the LCD uses high voltage to power the CFL.
 
Don't you have to configure the computer on the primary LCD (laptop) to use the secondary display (VGA)?

That's what i'm worried about, I know it's either motherboard or LCD or both and I don't want them to spend 200$ for motherboard replacement when it was only the LCD that was the issue

its automatic once vga is plug in before boot up.

Auto or you have to hit a Fn + some other key with either "CRT/LCD" or a picture of a monitor on it. ;) Cycle through the choices if you see nothing onscreen at bootup.
 
I plugged in the VGA connector and there was no signal at bootup on either screen, so this is a motherboard only issue?
