The problem is now it wont turn on, If it wasn't fully dry when you turned it on then it will have fried it the moment you turn the power on. I had the same thing with mine a couple of years back, But i left it in the airing cupboard for well over a week. No matter what happens, you'll have to get him a new one as wine goes all sticky and aweful after drying, So it'll fuck up the mac book inside anyway after time. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news Daz.

Surely stuff like this is covered on house insurance? Ive seen people throw laptops down the stairs to claim for a new on.

Only if accidental damage is selected on the insurance. Usually it's an optional extra which you pay more for.

Do you have an of those silica gel sachets knocking about? That'll draw any excess moisture out very quickly.

I completely dried my chillies out in about two days by leaving a sachet next to them.

First thing you should do whenever you spill any liquid on an electronic item is unplug the power supply and then the battery!!

Leaving the battery on is what kills it. Water/liquid is an electrical conductor and will cause mayhem in all sorts of areas.

Laptops are also very sensitive to static, so it doesn't look good I'm afraid.
