Fascinating!

The only change I would make would be to rinse liberally with distilled water, to avoid leaving deposits that might be conductive. After dumping a cup of coffer in my running laptop, I looked up what to do on the internet. I followed the directions, which were to:

1. Turn it off immediately. I'd already done that.

2. Remove battery.

3. Rinse in distilled water. Really? Yup.

4. Repeat using fresh distilled water until you're pretty sure you got it all. I repeated until I couldn't smell coffee two times.

5. Drain as well as possible.

6. Allow to dry THOROUGHLY. I left it on an air conditioning vent in several orientations for two days. Worked fine afterwords.
