    Hi all,

    I knocked a glass of coke over my laptop this morning I quickly pulled the plug and removed the battery. Opened it up and started to dry everything off, left it beside the rad for a few hours stuck everything back together everything seems to be working OK except for the power and indicator lights, will it be OK? I therasure it so much its a e6400 latitude dell built like a tank would kill me if it went. :(

    Open it again and put all components in a bag with rice...your Power lights etc may be fried but if it works...it works (-;
