agree with rojash
it sounds like time has passed so this probably won't work
coffee is a killer ... esp if with sugar
first - remove all batteries
then wrap in kitchen paper and shake to get rid of as much as poss (hang on for grim deathe ... cecause coffe is bad enough .... throwing it through a window as well is even worse.
(the alternative is to film yourself throwing it through a window and hopw harry hill gives you �250 which will cover the cost of repair)
rap thorougly in new kitchen paper
and (seriously!) get a big enough box and fill with about 2 cm of salt
place lappy on salt ... top ul so lappy is covered by about 2cm (it MUST be wrapped tightly - the salt will kill it for certain if it gets in)
place in airing cupboard or somewhere else that stays warm (but not hot)
leave for at least two days .... no cheating ... leave it
the salt acts as a good dessicant and should dry inside as much as possible
then you've just got to hope .... put it back together .... operate every key and switch to loosen any sugar
finally switch on ... fingers crossed
while you are drying it out ... you might also consider beating child ... and when the deed is done rub a little of the salt into ....
no too extreme
I hope you ground her though ... basic rule of computing is eithe don't put coffee near machine or make sure it can't be knocked over
here is how I do it ...
