i spilled coffee on my laptop. now to get the coffee out would it be wise to imerse the laptop under distilled water or alcohol. the harddrive is not working and the touch pad is sticky. i dont mind a coffee flavoured laptop but i would prefer a working one.

DO NOT IMMERSE YOUR LAPTOP. That would absolutely destroy it. Since it is not working, it will need to be taken to a professional to be opened up, dried and cleaned. Depending on where the coffee spilled, how much, etc., it may or may not be salvageable. Usually when the liquid is coffee, it is not repairable because you get not only the "wet", but the acid and the stickiness destroying your system.

Sorry it fairly is the only way until you bypass to the vet. Dab the floor with Alcohol and utilising tweezers, pull the parasite from the floor. carry close the tick firmly as on the factor of the floor as you could and pull gradually outward. ascertain you get the completed tick and don't go away any portion of the top or mouth embedded interior the canine. Dab the section with a young antiseptic. placed the tick in a empty jar with rubbing alcohol and a lid to kill them because of the fact the can circulate to human beings. Ticks would reason lime illness. bypass to the vet and get preventive meds

Gosh I think you never heard of damage protection!
All laptop or notebook manufacturers offer damage protection against drops, falls, electrical surges & spills. You need to get a new one and this time think about getting damage insurance from the manufacturer.

if your gonna put it in water.. why not take a sledge hammer to it at the same time?.. you wouldn't .. so don't
pc's are made out of metal = rust, and not good for pcb's..
take it to the shop, depends how much coffee you spilled on it.. i always keep drinks FAR away from mine.

I was pissed off with my Pager many years ago so I deliberately put it into a pot of scalding coffee. You should have heard it squeal! Didn't work after that so I took it to the workshop and told them it was sick.

I hope this will be a lesson to you. Computers do not mix with food or drink and if an accident happens as in your case it could be a very valuable lesson indeed.

Soaking it in water -- or any other liquid -- isn't likely to make it run better. Remember all those warnings about water and electricity not mixing?

It'd be just like dipping anything electronic underwater; it will short out and then be destroyed. Take it to someone and have them clean/repair it.
