[BNM] wet laptop repair?

[Chris Billett]

This is, in fact, a perfect time to evangelise the lack of sugar in  
coffee (just make it right - you don't need it!). I'm sure a good half  
the list sit with steaming pots of the stuff next to their laptops all  
day, getting ever the more shakey with ever sip... generally coffee  
will not kill (the laptop, at least) but the sugar crystals as it dies  
are the end of your motherboard.

Re: drying out, if you have access to a server room stick it in there  
for a few days. Air Con will help.
