Water spills could be dangerous for your computer.  Since the sugar could further corrode the laptop parts, soda or alcohol spills are even worse

So, here are steps you should take if you spilled liquid on your laptops:

• Turn off your computer immediately.
• Then remove the battery and remove the hard drive to avoid data loss.
• Open your screen as much as possible and place your laptop on a flat surface with the keyboard faced down.
• Take a hair dryer and blow, blow, and blow!  This will help dissipate the liquid.
• Do not even think of turning your computer on again right away.  Keep your laptop off for at least 3-4 days.
• After 3-4 days, turn your laptop on and hope for the best.

Hopefully the keyboard trapped the liquid and the rest of your laptop is safe.  If your laptop still does not turn on call specialist at VA Denver Computer Services for further assistance.
