[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1526177, member: 56379"] How long does it take for the moisture to evaporate in an inclosed space such as inside a laptop computer?...who knows. Unless you can open up the computer to verify 100% that all moisture is gone...it's really a guessing game. Without being able to verify that all moisture is gone...all that can be said is...the longer the better. But as I already mentioned...the chances that it is ok are seriously against you. If this is the case...you could wait 6 months and it wouldn't matter. Water + electricity don't mix. And in complex electronic devices like computers...damage can happen in milliseconds. Far faster than you can blink your eyes. So permanent damage could have occurred milliseconds after the spill. Good luck, - Nick [/QUOTE]
