Since it was off at the time you may be OK. Pull the battery
immediately. Don't plug it in or turn it on. Remove all removable
components to open things up and get some airflow through it. Open the
lid. Drain any obvious water by tipping it however you need to. Use a
paper towel or something to soak up any liquid you can see or get to.
Put it in a warm, dry place and just leave it for a couple days to dry
out. You could also get some desiccant and put in close proximity to
aid drying.
The key is to not put electricity through it until it is 100% dry.

Hi all,
Unfortunately I spilled a glass of water into a bag with my laptop, X61T,
which was shut down at the time. Is there anything I can do to minimize the
damage? I haven't turned it on since then. The laptop was sideways when it
spilled so water got into the holes on the side, and the water also reached
the (touch)screen and the keyboard. Any information you can give me would be
helpful.
Thanks,
Jerr
