Hi guys,

I had my laptop upside down and I got some drops of spit onto my laptop's motherboard, (they went through a grill that was covering part of the board). They were pretty miniscule but I couldn't get to them to dry them off.

I had the laptop slept when it happened but I started it immediately afterwards. everything seems to be fine after a couple of hours. Should I be worried?

Thanks
 


Thanks for the reply! If it's not too much trouble, I've got another problem: I had my laptop upside down, and then I put my damp sleeve (dampsih-, not dripping wet) on the groove/gap between the cover for the main components and the rest of the laptop.http://imgur.com/YoSfM0U I was wondering if any moisture could have gotten in and damaged the components?
