[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1290116, member: 56379"] What I would do is: - The VERY first thing is get the batteries disconnected & removed (iFixit.com procedure)...so any electrical source is removed from the "damage equation". - Then I would take the computer apart (piece by piece) following the iFixit.com instructions...hand drying each piece as I go (this really is not as many parts as you might think)...bit there are a lot of screws to keep track of. So don't loose any, and don't forget where they go. - Once everything is apart (at least as far as possible) I would use a hair dryer on a low/cool setting to dry any areas that are hard to access or cannot be seen. FYI...this spill did not affect the display area (I'm assuming) so DON'T take the display area apart. It's also VERY easy to damage "things/cables" in the display area. I would highly recommend NOT messing around with the display. HTH, - Nick p.s. Here's a photo of an Apple laptop disassembly I did a while ago (not the same model as yours. You see the sheets of paper on the left side of the photo? The sheets of paper have been divided up into sections with a marker...and a number placed in each section/box (probably hard to see in the photo). This number corresponds to each step in the iFixit.com procedure...and in each box I have placed the screws & other small parts so they don't get lost & so I don't forget where they go: [IMG]http://i73.photobucket.com/albums/i230/pigoo3/DSCN1425.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
