What laptop is it? I would take it apart as much as possible, use an air compressor, or buy some cans of compressed air, and blow out as much of the moisture as possible. Then set it upside down near a heat source to dry for a few days. You will most likely have to replace the keyboard either way

Yes, it will drop right in. You can also mod the board *at your own risk* and bump up the 1Ghz processor. If you mess something up, you still have the 733 so you're no worse off http://powermac-g4.com/g4quicksilverclockup.html On Feb 21, 2012, at 3:26 PM, Gene Henley wrote: I have a

Turn the keyboard upside down so tha any remaining liquid can drain out.   If you have some desiccants, you can put them down in the the area to help wick away the moisture too.  I don't know how easy it is to open the laptop up so   that you can get better air circulation in there, but the more
