I'm still using it, i flipped my computer upside down to try to drain all the liquid from it, it still works right now

pls help, i'm afraid it's gonna quit on me any second

sweet tea or unsweet? Turn it off either way and pull out the battery and plugs. Let it dry out for 4 or 5 hours. Sweet tea might give you some button sticky, but if still up and running prob ok. Take a hair dryer to it to help out, just not too close.

Sugar will be the evil part or any acids such as lemon juice.

I would turn off all power to it, drain and clean as much as possible. Then if you can open it up and use a blow dryer on a lower setting to clean up what you can. Q-tips may also help suck out any liquid trapped inside of a small crevice or on the underside of a key. If you used any sugar/honey/lemon juice also consider using a Q-tip and carefully clean everything up with rubbing alcohol.

it's Lipton unsweet tea

ok thanks guys, i will power down, remove all the shit, and put a fan facing on it

FUCK i'm so pissed off for being clumsy, no matter how old you are, or what experiences you have (good/bad) there is no way to ever eliminate the few dumbshit things

I would be very careful about the hair drier as it is probably going to push liquids deeper in than they currently are. JMHO

**Bojangles** · 02-13-2008, 10:15 PM

I agree, id let it dry on its own. If the computer is working itsprobably safe. id just worry about sugar stickiness.

**jscott** · 02-13-2008, 10:22 PM

Ok well its reassuring then since it there is no sugar at all

It's upside down on my bed with a fan on it, the fan on high, kinda far away, so it will have the dry-on-it's-own effect hopefully

thanks GFY

**bobby666** · 02-13-2008, 10:44 PM

**aico** · 02-13-2008, 10:54 PM

Dunk it in the toilet so you can rinse the Tea off. If it doesn't work, send it in as a submission to Myth Busters :D

**jscott** · 02-14-2008, 02:19 AM

I'm back on my comp

everything seems A-ok!!! (so far)

**viencarl** · 02-14-2008, 03:14 AM

Use hair dryer to take off all the liquid

**florin** · 02-14-2008, 04:44 AM

just open the cover and let id dry...hope there was no sugar...

**Vick!** · 02-14-2008, 09:58 AM

1) Remove battery
2) Open it
3) Wash with patrol thoroughly.

4) Show it matchstick.

**Davy** · 02-14-2008, 10:05 AM

First thing you need to do it turn it off immediately! Doh!

**nikki99** · 02-14-2008, 10:10 AM
