Those rubber keyboard membraines work a treat, never seen one for a laptop though.

I used fairy liquid and water to clean coke of an amigas motherboard for a nephew once, worked a treat, the trick is to get the power off asap.

the trouble was the coffee went into the vent holes on the side of the laptop and sat fermenting away.

Heyho - claim has been accepted so it might turn out for the better.

Well done!

That'll teach you for having such a nice coffee machine, it's one of the reasons I go with you to the 'ring so I can get a cup of coffee at yours :lol:
