the whole story:
last night, my fiance (UndeadExploder... i keep trying to get him to come back here) came upstairs and informed me that he had accidentally spilled about 3/4 of a large glass of water on his laptop (a toshiba qosmio something or other).
of course he immediately turned it off, unplugged it, and mopped up what he could. he said most of the water went under and on the side of the laptop. i went down and checked it for water also. it felt pretty dry, but to be safe i put a towel over the arm of the couch and, like, opened the laptop and placed it upside down on the towel, like a tent, kind of.
we talked about it, he was very freaked out (i'm almost ashamed of what that piece of machinery cost), and i tried to tell him i'm sure it would be ok, if it didn't work anymore we could get it fixed, etc.
eventually, we went back down stairs, he fired it up, and it worked just fine.
for the past 11 hours it has been on, and seems to have suffered no ill effects. we all breathed a sigh of relief.
but what i'm wondering is, is there anything we should do to ensure that really nothing is damaged, or will become damage? i have this horrible mental image of the thing becoming a paperweight in a few days because of corrosion or something.
i'm just wondering if anyone has had a similar experience or has any wisdom to impart.
