I normally would never have any food or liquid near or around my computer. I think it's really really dumb idea, and would disprove of anyone who did so!
Well for the 1st time, I broke my own rule. I was struggling on a assignment for uni, didnt have much time to get it done. And broke my own rule, having some lemonade beside me while working. Unfortunately, the worst happened.
I removed the power, dropped the battery and had it upside down within a few seconds of it happening.
I got the HDD out, and thankfully got my files off and my assignment turned in on time
, cutting things a bit fine!
How far do I need to go taking this thing apart, or considering I had it upside down almost right away and the battery out, should I let it dry? Or open it right up and get to the main board with a brush and some isopropyl?
Do I need to disconnect the cmos battery?
I've been in this computer before, and it's not fun to take apart! I could do, but really don't want to if I don't have to.
BTW, it's a hp envy, j111-tx
Thanks!
