It's aliiiiiiive!
The laptop is working for now. Appears to have dried out nicely. I suspect it might have some leftover juice residue in there so on the weekend, if it's still working, I will take it apart and take a look in the compartments I can reach easily, give them a wipe with a damp cloth and let it dry again. I'm just happy to have Midori back in fighting form for now.
