[TriLUG] OT - cleaning laptop after coffee spill

[Mike Norwood]

My wife called me at work to say that she was ambushed by our cat causing 
her to spill coffee into her laptop.  Has anyone had any luck (either good 
or bad) in trying to clean liquid from a laptop?  Just looking for any 
hints anyone can offer.  In searching online I have seen mention of 
something called Contact Cleaner which may be available at Radio Shack 
that some people say they have had luck with.  

Thanks in advance.
