About 48 hours ago I spilled a glass of sparkling water on my laptop. After a very long wait, I booted it and it works! It’s not out of dodge yet, apparently corrosion issues can appear in the next 2-3 days. I plan to migrate to a backup computer over the weekend and will send this one for repairs.

I think the tactic of turning the computer upside down, turning it off, and then putting it on sheets of paper worked well so far. Rice and silica gel dehumidifiers apparently are not good and can increase the damage.

My computer took a hit. I spilled a glass of sparkling water over the keyboard. It’s now drying. I can’t work and the OCD is strong. I’ve been glued to that thing for far too long.

At least I can still blog, thanks to the Jetpack app.

Ps. Apparently there’s a strong chance that the computer will stop working due to corrosion in the next days. There’s also a strong chance it will keep working because I spilled water and I turned it upside down quickly. Wish me luck.
