I'm having such a crap day! :mad:

I just spilt 1/2pint of water on my Dell Inspiron 9400 while it was on... All of the water went onto the keyboard area and within a second or so the laptop turned itself off...
I lifted the laptop off the desk and water came pouring out from the bottom of the laptop, the speakers, etc. :(

Do you think it'll be dead after that?
I have taken it apart and dried as much as I can. I am now leaving it near the airing cupboard and waiting for it to dry out a little more.
 
I think it could be dead, but I will leave it in the airing cupboard overnight.

I tried turning it on after leaving it in the airing cupboard for about 5 hours (probably a bad Idea, I know, but it looked completely dried) and nothing happened except the WiFi light flashed :confused:
It was also making some weird electrical noises and the power lights are not working.
I reckon the motherboard might be ******, but we'll see... :(
 
I left it in the airing cupboard overnight and it's still not working today - completely dead. :(

I just checked my house insurance and luckily the laptop is covered so it's not all bad news. :)
