[QUOTE="Dr. Chip, post: 1465456, member: 280951"] [b]Removing Hard Drive[/b] Thanks again CHSCAG. I miraculously found a phillips screwdrive small enough to remove the hard drive. The label paper and surface of the HD were not wet and do not appear stained, so I am hoping that is a good sign. Do you recommend waiting 72-96 hours for the rest of the circuits to dry out, reinsert the HD, and try to boot it up--or should I just wait for 3 weeks, buy a new laptop, and see if the data transfers? As you might be able to tell, I am a techno-dinosaur with these things. [/QUOTE]
