NG,

My daughter had a similar incident with her laptop, as long as the water was just a spray you should be fine, but if it gets between the hinges and the top cover, if can short the display and mother of all boards. I would wipe it carefully power it off then tip it forward toward you and hit it with a hairdryer carefully on low, low heat for about 5 minutes. Hope you didn't toast it like we did. hehe.

Rhody... :wink:

in addition to powering down, i'd make sure it's unplugged and also take out the battery first.

And if it's a 20 oz mug of scalding hot coffee with cream and sugar, just kiss it goodbye.

Again, make sure it's unplugged and also take out the battery first before kissing it. :biggrin:
