Hello GBATempers,
I need some advice/help with my laptop. I've had this laptop for about a year now and it has worked perfectly for me. Now into the back story..... Unfortunately, after I had it for about 3 months, and then I spilled apple juice on it. I panicked when this happened and unplugged the laptop from its charger. I didn't even think to remove the battery as apple juice spewed out of my laptop fan. The laptop display turned black, I think it shorted out. I thought my laptop was dead. The entire night I tried to take my laptop apart and did my best to use a towel to absorb any seeping apple juice present. I let it air dry for a day and knock on wood, it has been good since (aside for the sticky keys on the keyboard which is fine.) Now, 9 months later, my question is, is there anything else that I should do now that would increase the lifetime of my laptop. My concern is the sugary residue left behind my the apple juice might cause some electrical problems (even corrosion.) Should I concentrate on specific areas like the hard drive/motherboard or the fan? What should I use to help clean the laptop?
Thanks for reading and hopefully you can provide some help!
