Appletini
My roommate's girlfriend thought it would be a good idea to spill
appletini all over my laptop. We were smart enough to yank out the battery and unplug the thing immediately, and it still works just fine. But the keys are sticky (literally); you can feel the sugary crust breaking each time you hit one. Any suggestions for how to fix this issue? This is going to sound stupid, but would simply yanking all electrical supplies and then dousing in water work (the clock battery fried when the thing got soused, so it's no longer a factor)? Friends have suggested ants. They weren't joking (I swear). Ideas? |
