Coffee spilled on HP G70 keyboard - cannot restart

Thanks everyone. My problem with attempting that is my other computer is a Mac (am I allowed to say that here? ;) ), and besides it being basicallly full, its old and tired and I doubt it would be appropriate for a job like this. My concern is that, whoever does a transfer gets everything they...

Coffee spilled on HP G70 keyboard - cannot restart

I have the very most important files on CDs, but there's a lot of stuff I'd rather not potentially damage/not recover, including some pictures I've taken that I didn't make discs of yet. I'd rather preserve everything...

Coffee spilled on HP G70 keyboard - cannot restart

I'd like to keep as much as possible. As much as I want the computer to work, I'm looking at this as "First do no harm". Hopefully the "System Restore" I ran didn't hurt anything. I guess I should just shut the problem computer off at this point?

Thanks.Could I possibly damage the drive - or at least some of the files on it - by attempting the recovery described above (by using it when it's in a fragile state, so to speak)? Would it be potentially safer to have someone work to recover the data first?

Coffee spilled on HP G70 keyboard - cannot restart

Thanks!Before I attempt this (I believe my model has the recovery built in - I've seen a "D" drive when viewing "Computer"), is there a chance that performing any of these steps will make me lose data, etc. on my hard drive?Any particular steps I need to take to prevent any losses while trying...

Coffee spilled on HP G70 keyboard - cannot restart

HelloSomeone (not me) spilled coffee on the keyboard this past Saturday morning. After seeing things were not working right (including a loud beep upon trying to restart the computer) I unscrewed the keyboard, dried it as best I could, and left the keyboard upside down on a paper towel for 48...
