My computer won't turn on! HELP!?

I have a dell inspiron 1545

It won't work no matter what I do.

It just shut off when I was cleaning the keyboard, I removed the keys, to get out all the dust and sprayed electronic equipment cleaner on it.

Then it just turned off!!!!

Please help!

I need to know what's wrong, and if it's gone for good how do I know if my warranty is still good?

I've had it for about a year (got it April 2010)

Please I need help!

Update:

I'm using my mom's computer!

That's how I'm able to write this

    Pull the keyboard and see if you can soak up the cleaner

    You may have to replace the keyboard

    Hopefully it is just temporarily shorted and drying it out may solve it

    The cleaner could have gone into the motherboard area and is shorting there.

    What is the name of the cleaner and what is in it?

    You may have killed your laptop.

    Contact Customer Service, that would be your best option.

    I also had trouble with my Laptop before as well. I called customer support and they said...

    --Take out battery and disconnect all external devices--

    --hold down power button for 60 seconds--

    --insert the battery and plug in the charger--

    --turn it on, go to bios and reset the bios to its default settings-- DONE

    of course my laptop is an HPg60 and not dell, but its worth a try right?

    Keyboard might have failed due to shorting-out having excessive &/or wet cleaner solution & may need to dry &/or be dismantled to properly clean & dry before using, internal battery might be exhausted, or other part may have failed due to becoming loose or dusty!
