Soda + Laptop... How screwed am I?

[awval999]

I was casually playing on my laptop, home for Thankgiving and spilled half of a glass of Hawaiian Punch + 7-UP on the keyboard of the laptop. I would assume only an ounce actually went into the keyboard, the rest on the desk, floor, etc.

I immediately turned off the laptop, it shut down fine. I turned it upside and had the liquid pour out of it. I allowed it to dry all night with a fan blowing on it upside down.

It turned on today. YAY! The keyboard of the laptop works, but it is ruined. I typically use the laptop at school as a desktop and have a 2001FP running thru it as well as a normal keyboard.

It has been on at school running for two hours right now. I turned it on before I left and it ran for half an hour before I packed up to go back to school.

How screwed am I? I do have insurance on it, through the school, and it does cover damage. I plan to call the insurance company tomorrow and ask them how they want to proceed.

My question to you is... am I out of the woods yet?
