Detailed description：I was eating near my laptop (I know, I shouldn't have done that), normally I put a cover over my laptop keyboard so I can still read on it but not worry too much about food on my computer but today I forgot to put the cover on.
I bit into a tomato and the juice squirted onto my keyboard between the [enter] key and the NUM pad. I immediatly turned off the computer and disconnected it from power. What do I do from here?
Do I need to wait and will all be good?
Do I need to clean out the laptop from the inside? Can I clean it from the inside?
Normal laptops are very hard to open to clean and usually break when you do but I notice mine has just simple Phillip head screws connecting it.
