cooling fan

I was blowing out the dust on my xp computer,while
holding the can of spray upsidedown,it sprayed out liqiud
hitting the fan thing on the circiutboard.it sizzled and
smoked for bout 30 seconds,now it wont even start up.what
do i need to replace to fix it will the fan cause this?
where can i buy a fan at?

Sounds like you shorted-out the cooling fan for your processor.
Consequently, the processor fried since it was no longer being
cooled by the fan. Find a reputable computer repair shop
nearby and take it in for repairs.

P.S. Why didn't you unplug your computer first?

That was silly. You have probably damaged the CPU and maybe
the motherboard. Take it to a store.
