Drunk and a wet laptop

][nfector · 30th September 2006, 10:56 AM

I woke up drunk this morning and my desk was covered in a mysterious slightly yellow tinged liquid. It doesn't smell like piss but anyhow it is all through my laptop. Is there any sort of desiccating spray or way of removing the moisture from the laptop- btw i havent turned it on since.

Metho works good.

I would just take it apart and put the keypad under the tap, wash it all, wait for it to dry properly and then stick it back together.

It should only die, if its turned on while wet and/or corrosion.

as in take out the battery too, not just having it off to make sure.

take out the battery and leave it out until it is completely dry. get some metho and take everything apart that you can take apart. and wash with metho. let it dry. (best to leave it couple of days.

well you do have to lift the lid of the laptop

did you put the lid back down for the girls

as has been said corrosion will get you, I have seen the insides of a laptop that had a glass of water spilt on it and the corrosion was evrywhere.
