I just spilt coffee on my laptop, what should I do?

A coffee was spilt over my Lenovo T500 laptop. It reached the battery and the screen.

Now, when pressing the power button, the laptop starts while the screen doesn't turn on at all, and then shuts down after 1 minute.

What should I do?

not much:

  • remove power cord,
  • take out the battery,
  • optionally remove some mechanical parts (e.g. keyboard) but make sure this does not interfere with warranty conditions...
  • turn the notebook so remaining fluid can run out
  • comment by churnd: if there is residue built up on internal components, you'd need to take them out & rinse them off with distilled water, then let them dry completely.
    • You can pat them dry with a lint free cloth, but best to let them sit for a few days
  • you could carefully dry with a hairdryer...
  • and be patient(!) until all fluids are dry...

then check if it is still working.
