What did you do to get it working again? (Sorry for carrying on, but I'd like to know).]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Back some time in 08 or 09, I spilled this massive amount of milk (like half a liter, don't ask) down my laptop. We popped out the battery instantly and had it drying for about 2 days. Then I disembled it through Acer's website to see if any damage happened to HDD, GPU, graphics card, etc. The milk seemed to have hit the HDD quite noticably but nothing seemed to have went into it. Booted it up and it worked just fine, other than spraying some sour milk out of the ventilation.

Pro tip, take a bag of rice and stick your laptop in it. There's such a higher chance of it working if you do that, as the rice will suck out all the moist in the laptop when it dries.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Those last two posts were very helpful towards this actually serious problem, you guys.

I say go with SpeedyGoZohan's advice of removing the hard drive as well as Mason's advice to take it to a repair shop. Maybe take the hard drive to a repair shop along with a couple thumb drives and see if you can extract the data there.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Sorry for your accident.  Anything sticky could give you some issues when it dries out.  As SpeedyGonZohan said it would be a good idea to take the hard drive out and hopefully nothing got to it.  

Here's a link to Dell's website on taking out the Hard Drive.  I hope this helps

			<description><![CDATA[You can pop the hard drive out easy enough. (look around the internets for a guide, otherwise it's be pretty straightforward) It's a 2.5" drive, so it probably won't mount in your desktop computer. 

You can buy a USB to SATA adapter for the hard drive to the files, that might be your only hope of getting your stuff off of it. 

Assuming the laptop was water-tight on the keyboard, the hard drive should've survived.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Something like this happened to me the other day. It booted up fine, but didn't work. I had to wipe my computer and start from scratch. If you don't know what to do, try and bring it to a computer repair store. If they can't fix it, I say just learn from your mistakes ;) and move on.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I dunno if this is the right forum, but I hope you guys could help me with a problem I have.

*clears throat* On Saturday afternoon, I accidentally spilled a cup of soda on my laptop (it's a Dell/Vostro 1000 if any of y'all are wondering. It's also a PC) and it turned off. All my brickfilming stuff was saved on there. I'm using the regular computer, not the laptop, to type this. Me and my parents tried to dry it off, but there might be some sticky soda residue under the keys. 

Nothing happened since then, it never booted up. I would love it if you guys knew what to do. If something like this has ever happened to you guys, then you know what to do. Please help me in this...my darkest hour. :twitch:]]></description>
