Last night at my parents place a water line split and some water ran down and into a light hanging over the table, and started to fill the fixure, as soon as the water hit the light bulb it exploded and broke the glass fixture, causing water to land on the screen of an open laptop, which was turned off and turned upside down immediatly. But didnt take the battery off.

We measured that the other light thats the exact same holds 1/3 cup of water untill it would hit the bulb, and the leak was slow, woudl have taken an hour to fill.

So between 1/4 and 1/3 of a cup of water landed on the screen of a running laptop. This morning it will not turn on, not even try to.

The laptop is an Acer Aspire 9810, its only a couple months old so still under warranty at least if they cover it.
