Yeah, it's pretty dry here. I drained it thoroughly yesterday and had fans blowing on the keyboard half of the laptop, from above and below, with the easy covers and battery removed. No water seemed to have reached the lower portion of the laptop, and the easy-open areas in the bottom were dry. Hard drive was untouched.
Today I had a room heater blow at the keyboard from a couple of feet away for a few hours. Now I'm typing this message on the affected laptop, and everything seems to be working perfectly, thank goodness. I popped the battery in, pressed the power button, and waited anxiously. I can't express the relief I felt when the password screen appeared, and a Portal Turret's voice greeted me, "Hello friend."
Thanks again, everyone, for all of your help!
