Coffee and laptops don't mix???

I've tipped an entire cup of boiling hot coffee all over my laptop

Luckily when I started minding I bought an external hard drive so all my cm bits are backed up *phew*. But.... the level 3 coursework I have done over the Christmas holidays isnt

My friends fiancé is going to try and retrieve it all so I don't have to re do an entire unit. Just my luck

I will be phoning my insurance company tomorrow.

This once happened to me and I was able to dry it out by using a combination of hairdryer and the airing cupboard - but it wasn't switched on when I washed it out with coffee and I think that's why I could dry it out with out too much damage.

Not a nice feeling though...good idea to have an external hard drive back up!

Good luck.

Oh no! Dd found that out when she dropped a sticky drink into her keyboard recently... luckily once it had dried out she was able to attach a separate keyboard and it works ok.

It may salvage - dry it slowly first. Hugs xx
