My friend the other day spilled water all over his laptop....Immediately took a hairdryer to it, and powered it up....He did not even let it dry. I guess if you do it a certain way it helps. It powered right up after that and it worked fine. I was surprised that he hastily turned the thing on again, and I was surprised that it functioned as normal. It was a massive spill and despite my warnings about using a hairdryer and turning it on so quickly.....It worked like a charm. I couldn't believe it.
Of course I am not really recommending it...just a story.
