And as soon as it hit she said it shut off.

I got home and tried to turn it on, it clicked the the processor was trying to turn on and itd just shut off.

I was pretty disappointed.  She said it was about 15 minutes before I arrived.

So I said what the hell lets try to save it then!

I opened the screen in an L shape, and put it in front of a space heater for about 15 minutes to dry it out.

Once it got warm I took it apart, grabbed some mineral essence and a clean rag and wiped everything down, put all the parts on a tray and turned the heat up in the room to 80 for the night.

In the morning I cleaned everything one more time, and ran the heater up close to all the parts.

After everything was dry I reassembled everything, and let it charge for about 30 minutes.

Boom, its working

So it is possible to save before it gets shorted, even if it looks like its not going to make it!

Wew, computer doctor

Maybe! Its only been running for about 15 minutes, so we will see!

You should have kicked her ass  

 

jk, but you should probably have your computer checked out, and there is likely something wrong with it, you're lucky it wasn't the motherboard that was spilled on.

You've been one hell of a lucky guy! Haha

I'd say so. redid my vps last night so i could still bot on my phone incase. but

Also got a huge job offering yesterday, so maybe this week is just my week?

wow lol thats so lucky

Indeed, if you get your PC drunk like that, it'll often work to just wait it out

 

Get a Lenovo

Liquids run right thru em

Linus left a Dell xps out in the rain accidentally. He was able to save it after drying it out for A Week. I think you should have waited longer, 30 minutes is nothing. You also have to disassemble everything so it can dry.

Oh and the the next year's model he did the same thing, but on purpose lol.

Lucky man. I wish this worked with my old phone

You should put it in a bag of rice! it soaks up all the moisture, PS turning it on was a bad idea, no circuits can get 'frazzled' if they're off!
