Well, I might be screwed for a bit. I have spilled a drink on my laptop, which now won't turn on. This is bad because everything is very precariously held together in my life by my laptop. It's Sunday, so I can't even access tools to remove the battery for another few hours. Getting the money to replace said laptop will be tricky, so...
I'm going to be behind my time for a while.
This has been a really rough year, but this latest stupid is all on me.
Phone call to my bank now.
Fingers crossed.
@MLClark I've done that. Cleaning up as much as I can and then simply waiting until the residue dries has resolved it.
You could try a hair dryer to speed up the process but I simply waited.
I've never tried this myself but placing a mobile phone in a Ziploc bag with rice to absorb the moisture seems to work. I imagine a larger bag with a laptop could also work.
