Question Fluid spilled in notebook

[Alphabetics]

Hello all!

I have a new XMG Neo 15 notebook.
Tuesday at around 10 p.m. I spilled tea on my desk, on the bottom left of the fan and under the notebook. Probably nothing came on the keyboard.

I dried the whole thing with a paper tissue as best I could, but turned the notebook over to see how bad it was. Turning it around shouldn't be a good idea, as the liquid could then run towards the mainboard.

I had important work to do, so I used the notebook for another 1-2 hours After drying it the described way.
Everything I worked with on my notebook went smoothly. I did not recognize any error.

After using it, I opened the notebook and looked, I only saw two drops on the battery, which is, however, shielded.
There was also a drop on the left speaker on the corner of the affected side.
I dabbed most areas with a paper tissue.
Afterwards i put it in front of a fan heater.
At first the RAM, the SSD, the battery were not disconnected, later (a few hours after the heating started) I also removed these one after the other, battery at last I guess (I didn't expect anything bad at first as everything was going smoothly)

Use isopropanol (Isopropyl alcohol) or contact cleaner, i hope that’s the correct name in English?

Is the model actually somehow secured against water?

Is it bad if various cables (power, display port and HDMI cables) have been damaged? I only dried it with a paper tissue as well as I could (outside and inside the connectors i sticked the paper tissue in), as I did with the USB port on the affected side.
Do I have to do something here?

In addition, liquid got onto the contacts of my other notebook battery.
This was already removed.
What can I do here?

Appreciate your help!

This is one of those little half telephone like gadgets ... like an ipad? Or kindled fire?

It sounds like you did the best you could to clean up the spill. You might want to connect an external drive and copy any critical data if it's still working, just as an extra precaution.

Then just wait ... only time will tell.

Hi!
it is a normal laptop, no ipad or so.
could the SSD have been damaged while I was working with my laptop after this accident. The SSD itself did not catch any water. It was not in the danger Zone afaik.

If it's still working OK, that's good. I would leave it opened up as much as possible in a dry, warm place for a few days. A small fan might help too.

If it still works OK, you're probably good, though moisture can later cause corrosion on connector contacts. You can unplug and inspect all the connector contacts later after you are sure everything is dried out very well. Be sure to power it down and remove the battery while working on the machine.

i will try to clean up with isopropanol later.
by „inspect“ you mean on my own with no special means, i guess!?

is there any tool to examine if SSD or RAM, mainboard is damaged in any way? I installed a Tool from Seagate, but cannot tell at the moment what it checks because i cannot use my computer.


edit:
There’s one more thing. I think The fluid (tea) got a bit into the fan on the affected side. Could some got into the case/ mainboard etc du to the airflow? The part i mean looks like a grid.

Not exactly my model. Some parts are in different places, but the fan placement is correct.
Yellow area is MOSTLY affected by fluid flow from the side, maybe also from under the case. Red area only maybe is affected.
The other part to the left in the middle could have been affected ffrom below.
