I left a cup of coffee on the table next to my laptop, was in a hurry to drop my daughter off at her mom’s house on time. I came home about 12 hours later to see myself in this situation.

I would love to add pics but attachments aren’t allowed. Are links allowed?

Most of the coffee flowed under the laptop and hardened in the vent on the underside of the laptop. I would like to get some people’s opinions as to how compromised my laptop is.

It was on the entire time I was gone. It was closed. It seems to be fully operable, but I don’t want to risk continuing to run it and ruining a $3000+ laptop.

If this isn’t the place to ask for help, please point me in the right direction.

Thank you.

    I would second this. Managed a computer repair shop for years. If the liquid had hit the top and flowed down over everything that would be bad. From the bottm up very likely that there will be minor issues if any. It’s up to you how handy you are. If it were me I would open it up. It won’t be hard to see how far the liquid has spread inside it at all. Otherwise if you take it somehwere reputable they should be able to charge you just a diagnostic fee to look and tell you more. We used to charge $40 to look and estimate a repair and then that went towards any repair work we did if the client approved the work.
