In my experience (admittedly not with any recent computers) that isn't
necessarily true.

If it is powered up when it gets wet, damage can occur as jolts flow
where they shouldn't. But if not powered up, you can usually dry them
out and they work fine.

We used to take keyboards apart and flush them with distilled water,
back in the days when they were expensive.
