Please tell me that you had EVERYTHING backed up! Yesterday,I was creating an Activity on my patio and somebody poured water out of an upstairs window! I set a record getting back outside,but my 15 year Toshiba{which I use for Activity creation only!}was still humming along. I only hope that my body is that resilient when I enter my dotage! My advice is to take it to a knowledgeable Computer repair person and HOPE they can salvage what you need. I am keeping my fingers crossed for you. BrianI lost Trainz UTC today!

This reminds me of the time a woman came into my shop in 1997 (I was managing a computer business at the time) with her keyboard all gummed-up by dried Coca-Cola, which her son had knocked over. Talk about sticky keys!
Well, she was open-mouthed when I just walked over to the kitchenette sink, turned on the tap and ran warm water all over the keyboard, making sure to get it down into all the gaps.
I took it outside, swung it around a few times to get the droplets off and then plugged it into a testing PC we had in the front office.
It worked perfectly and she looked as if she'd just seen magic performed!
What she didn't realise - and what I didn't explain - was that it was a membrane keyboard and essentially unaffected by a shower of water.

Unfortunately milk is incredibly corrosive to metals... doesn't even have to be goat's milk...
