I'm usually not so clumsy, but managed to spill a good amount of coffee (with milk and agave nectar) on my keyboard yesterday. Turned it off immediately, cleaned it up the best that I could with alcohol wipes, and it's been sitting on the cooling fan with rice and silica packets since it happened. I took off the bottom panel to look inside today and see only slight evidence of the spill (not on anything crucial from what I could see) but I didn't want to pull anything out to have a better look 'cause I'm not too sure what I'm doing. Few questions: should I wait another day or two, then try to power it on? Or should I be safe and have it cleaned professionally? How much might it cost to do so, since I'm assuming that a warranty doesn't cover accidental spills? Would I have Dell clean it for me, or could I take it somewhere like BestBuy or another store that does computer repairs?
TLDR: Spilled coffee on M14X, turn it on when it's dry or call a professional?
