[QUOTE="chinajon, post: 1582420, member: 131587"] I would be tempted to wash parts in a liquid that will remove lemonade. Distilled water comes to mind. Soak and drain several times. Blow dry and then put in a Baggie and cover with dry rice. The rice will lower the humidity to zero and dry the inner parts. Let it dry thoroughly. Before restart. Of course remove the battery. If you are disassembling it separate the sticky taped items before soaking. Alcohol would probably damage some adhesives whereas water would not. Just a thought. I have repaired some water soaked items with white gasoline but I don't think that would be useful in this case, since it would damage or discolor the plastics. Some keyboards that had cola spills have beed successfully cleansed with mild liquid soapy water, rinsed and dried. They worked perfectly. The problem with a laptop is drying it thoroughly. Rice can do that after blow drying thoroughly. Since lemonade is acidic it shorts out the circuitry. It also has sugar. It might have lemon fragments as well. Distilled water could work. [/QUOTE]
