MacBook Air problem

    I purchased a MacBook Air in September 2013.

    2 weeks ago i spilt coffee on my laptop, I read online how to fix this, so i cleaned the laptop and put it in a bag of rice, to absorb any remaining moisture. I left it in the bag for a day.

    The next day it was working perfectly and I ha no problem with it until yesterday.

    Yesterday I changed my password and then shut down my laptop to login with my new password. When i tried to turn it back on it would not. I thought it may have ran out if battery because it was on 9% at the time. I then charged it fully and it still wouldn't turn on.

    My laptop is under 1 year old and is still covered under the apple warranty but this warranty does not cover accidental damage such as spilling coffee on it.

    Is it possible that my laptop won't turn on because of a different problem other than the coffee?

    Any other suggestions on what I should do and how to fix it would be greatly appreciated!

    Possible, yes. Likely, no. Even if you manage to dry out the laptop, liquid spillages allow corrosion to set in (soft drinks are a killer for this) and your macbook may very well work for a few days before it packs in. Which would seem to be the case here.

    To be honest, you're more than likely looking at bringing it to the mac store for an expensive repair unfortunately. I take it that it's not covered by your home insurance??
