Switch it off.

 

Put it in the airing cupboard.

 

Try it again tomorrow.

 

If it were a mobile I would say stick it in a bag of rice in the airing cupboard.

 

It needs to dry out because the liquid may be shorting out electrical connections.

ok thanks EC .. I'll let it dry and hope for the best.

Awww Kaffy, I'd be in tears!  I'm way too attached to my lappy.  Hope it dries out alright

Upside down and hair dryer?

 

Your welcome. That what we do at work. The warm environment should allow for quick evaporation of liquids. If you can, leave the lid open and prop it so the keys face down onto say a towel.

 good advice 

Oh heck Kaffy Hope it will be ok

 

oh heck...wine in the lappy  hope its ok Kaffy 

Lager and lappys mix 

Oh no! I would try the rice trick if you've got a big enough plastic bag, it fixed my iPhone that had been swimming in the sea! I really hope it's going to be alright, do keep us posted

Ooooooooooooh good luck - I wrecked an Apple keyboard with wine once. I'd cry if I wrecked my lappy.

 

Fingers crossed for you 

Well..given that I've no patience.... I couldn't wait ovenight.   Touch wood - it seems ok.      I turned it upside down as quickly as I could (I've never moved so fast) and shoogled it till i got as much drips off as possible.  When I turned it the right way up it was a white screen.    I switched it off and it came back a white screen, next time I switched it the white screen had coloured vertical lines up and down it (that was when Inearly cried)  another couple of on and offs and it came back on - I'm typing on it now.... and I've transferred all my important files to a pen drive.  That's what was worrying me most - if worst came to worst I'd have to claim on my insurance, but I didn't want to lose my stuff.  I'm starting to breathe again now.  Thanks allx

Glad it's in one piece Kaffy  

Kaffy it sounds like you did good damage control, and the fact that it's working now is a very good sign.

 

 

quick thinking Kaffy  

I think it was just drunked kaffy x

Bit like Kaffy?   *Runs* 

   I just hope it doesn't puke all over itself in the night and wake up with a hangover tomorrow !

oi... i'm not drunk  - I'm just clumsy.

   

Nevermind the lappy, was there enough wine left...???  

See... that's why I love you - you put everything into perspective! 

Yeah, I'd have funnelled it to the corner of the keyboard and drained it too  

 

priorities Cosi... I love that about you v

I always worry about the serious stuff in life 

 

the rice trick worked with lil Aims phone when she dropped it in the bath

Agree, Aimee   Same happened with a mate's i-phone (or it might have been a Blackberry); anyway, it worked perfectly once it had dried out.

I wish I'd known the rice trick when I dropped my moby in the shower.    Cost me fifty quid excess that did.   

It didn't work on any one of the three mobis I put through the washer last year!!! I think a whole cycle is a step too far. It's a good job we don't go for expensive phones in this house 

 

 

 

I remember some time ago when I knocked a bottle of wine over - Mr Woo flew off the sofa and we were both flapping around .............he looked at me and said 'if anyone was looking through the window they'd think we were worried about the carpet or something' 

That's extreme sport, moby style, Soozy!

  I think I married his twin brother 

OK, I'll ask.......... why was you in the shower with your mobile phone?

Can't you be like the advert and take just one bottle into the shower?

 I did ths with Brandy a few weeks ago. Complete wreck .

  

I was hoping for a day off work, I think it was karma getting me for being a lazy biatch.       it was last winter when it was really snowy - Steve, my boss, lived along the road from the office, I'm about 10 miles away.  He said to me the night before - if the roads are a nightmare, don't come in tomorrow - I'll try it and I'll call you and tell  you if the roads are passable'   I had to get ready for work, but I was hoping for a phone call to tell me not to go so I had the moby on the bathroom sink when I showered.   It rang when I was in the shower and i answered it.. and dropped it in the shower.   To top it all he told me I should be able to  get in ok so I didn't even get the flippin' day off!

I'm sorry I asked you to relive that
