COKE IN LAPTOP HELP inspiron

Take it apart the best you can and wipe it down, use alcohol.

Not so funny but was at the time, I dropped my landline down the toilet as i flushed, Swiftly grabbed it only from my shirt pocket i dropped my mobile in too, Anyway i fished one out after the other and got the batteries out STAT.
Anyway it is the same thing as ibleet is saying, Do not switch on!.
Back to your computer, Dont switch on Cola and most sugar drinks are conductive and will short circuit.

I am very bold on clean like this problem and use distilled water dush but i do not recoment this uless you are 100% sure how to dry and clean the board. One guy mentioned alcohol, Thats not kewl as lots of alcohol have suggars. I Suggest You have to strip the whole unit, Using 50 50 Aciton and water and a swab take plenty of time to remove any sugar or residue from the board. To be on the safe side plop the motherboard or circuit on a radiator that will be on for 2 or so days.
Please contact me if you need more detail
All the Best

thanks for your input guys. i used methylated spirits, which i guess is alcohol (no sugars in it). i cleaned the bits where i could see dried up coke, so that should be about 90% of it (to the point where i could no see any visible coke).
turned it on and everything seems to be going well yippy!

ill be going to get it cleaned properly overseas (going for holidays so thought i might take this opportunity) where the labour is much much cheaper (cousins will know what to do!).

thanks again.
