Just as the title says, I spilled a decently large cup of milk on the keyboard of my laptop. It immediately turns off and when it did, I disconnected it from the power. while I was carrying it over to a sink to drain it over i tried to turn it on, which i now known is a mistake. i currently have it open and pitched up like a tent, I’ve taken the cover off of the bottom and hit it with some compressed air and a blowdryer until all visible traces of milk are gone. now the power button is flashing and the caps lock light is on for some reason. I’m about to go buy a bag of rice to let this dry in, idk if that’s a real thing you should do or not but I’ve heard it a lot so i figured it can’t hurt. I’m just worried it might have ruined the motherhoard or the battery or something. Should i be doing anything else or anything differently? It’s and HP laptop from about 3 years ago I think? I’m not sure what the exact model is
Don’t cry over…… never mind
Milk the insurance for all it’s worth.

Well, luckily, it was black Friday today, and you should be able to find a new laptop cheap.
Put it in a bowl full of cookies
I’d salvage the hardrive for external use and buy a new laptop.
Those Elitebooks have a bottom that slides off with a single latch, with an easily removable battery, that’s the first thing you should have done.
Check if it’s pregnant
