    if it was water then it wouldn't be so bad as you can dry that out easily but you spilled wine which can cause shorts to happen
    follow this guide as much as you can and pray

    Thanks for the reply. The only thing I haven't done is to clean the circuit boards with de-ionised water and isopropol alcohol. Mainly because getting the alcohol is difficult. Also having a few issues with getting to the motherboard. Can't get the fan out to give me access.
