Yeah, so red wine spilled on laptop. Just how jacked am I? It was unplugged and off when it happened. Let it dry for about 36 hours and now it will come on, just not into Windows. Sits at a blinking cursor for about 3 seconds, powers down, no post codes. I've heard red wine is quite possible the worse thing you can spill into a laptop. Should I be pulling it apart to wipe it down?

Take off and nuke the site from orbit, it's the only way to be sure.

Thermite would ensure that the laptop was "clean"

Frankly, I'm shocked and appalled by this grotesque example of wine abuse.

Well true. We didn't even begin to discuss the social implications.

Found one for you. This should handle having wine spilled on it.

I hope you made it out to Walmart on Black Friday!

Yes, London. You know: fish, chips, cup 'o tea, bad food, worse weather, Mary fucking Poppins... LONDON.

You'll have to take it apart and clean it with denatured alcohol (not rubbing alcohol which has too much water in it) Taking apart a laptop is not for the weak of heart however.

And even if you do that, there's no guarantee it will work again. Stick it in rice/desiccant, dry it, pray, all that. And then go spend $600 on a new laptop.

Even then, don't come knocking!" - Jack Nicholson
