Spilt Coffee on my Laptop

[mathmeister]

I have an HP Envy 15t I think. It's an envy for sure. I spilled a LOT of coffee and so far I turned it off (it blue-screened before I could), removed the battery, let it drain, then opened up the back and dabbed as much as I could. I don't think all the coffee drained out and it's really difficult to take the parts out so should I leave it to drain/dry for 24-48 hours?

let it dry as long as possible, and if you can open it too to air it out

It's done, I took it apart and dried everything after cleaning it for a good hour.  Then I turned it on and nothing happened.

Well you did say it blue screened, it might have been too late and something shorted. Still there is a slim slim slim chance it just needs to dry more, moisture is hard to get out of components, it may look dry and still be wet. As a last stitch effort try taking it apart again and let it sit a week, put it in the sun light of a window and pray it works later. The good news is you data might be salvageable if you have a regular HDD or SSD. Unless something shorted them out or they were REALLY wet, they have a good chance of working at least long enough to get your data. So you're probably not completely out of luck hopefully
