Spilled medium amount of beer on laptop, still worked
I will described as best as possible.
Asus ROG i7, 2014.
Spilled okay amount on it .. Like 10cm2 (4inches2), maybe one quarter of the keyboard received beer.
I cleaned it with scottowels right away but i was drunk so didnt think right away to shut it down. Took me maybe 30-40 seconds do it.
Everything was working perfectly during those 30 seconds and while shutting down. I then unplugged everything linked to it and removed the battery. Made Sure it was dry (on the outside). Its upside down now.
What do you recommend ? Im travelling right now but my job is on it so i am working so i need it and its a very good laptop so i love it. If i need to wait 72 hours i will even tho i badlyy want to avoid that.
I have nothing in the appartment i rented and i dont speak the langage of the country but if you tell me i really need to open the computer and do stuff, i will. Would be very appreciated if you could tell me what to do when i open it .. From what i remembered i can withdraw the hdd and the ssd. I read that i should use a dielectric contact cleaner but how and where ? If rather avoid that cause im not sure i could find this here but anyway thank you very much if you answer !!
Questa è una buona domanda?

It sounds like you acted quickly and effectively. I am not well versed enough to answer this issue, but given the reaction time and steps you took, I would say your system will probably survive.

Dont think i'll be able to find tech shop where i am, im gonna open it at 11am tomorrow, which will be 38 hours after the incident. I still dont know how big a gamble this is but i have to work
Ive taken out my hdd and sdd, (as well as the laptop battery at the very beginning). Everything looks dry.. Altho i dont/cant know about the motherboard

I never said it wasnt working ? It was working perfectly for the 30 seconds it was on. I closed it and removed the battery as a precaution. Same with hdd and ssd. And put the laptop upside down. Everrything is fine except i cant see the motherboard. Will try to open it tommorow morning, 36 hours after the incident
