Default Re: Laptop liquid damage heads up

Well - the only thing I see that you may have done wrong is, of course spill the Orange Juice originally...but other than that, the first rule if you have liquid damage is - don't hit any buttons after it happens, because you can cause it to short.

You did good in turning it over and disconnecting the power (not using the power button, because again - it can short).

If you were fast enough, I would say that most likely all your damage is going to be to the keyboard. It may just be sticky, but it's not just something you can clean that easily. Your best bet will probably be to just replace the whole keyboard.

Other than that, you probably don't have that much damage. Usually spills do not even make it through the keyboard to any other hardware.
