Hii!
It has been long since i was active in this community,Now the thing is that this morning i accidentally spilled some liquid onto the keyboard (in the left areas, the ctrl, fn, alt, z and probably caps lock and shift).Well, It was a sugary drink and It's not that many and the laptop seems to be working fine.Also, I didn't turn off my laptop because it was a very important bussiness and the keys were dry after i wipe it off.
Ok, Is there a chance my laptop would be damaged?My laptop seems to be working fine like i didn't even spill it and the keys is less sticky.What shall i do?The spill wasn't that big and I'm kinda worried it would damage.
UPDATE: I turned it off and turned it upside down like a v.

Good Day Unknown,
What I can suggest for now to use a blower to dry the laptop then bring your device to a locale shop, yes water damage can ruin the hardware components of your device ,
For now don't charge until the keyboard is not fully clean from the inside.
Have a wonderful day ahead and stay safe.

Good Day Unknown,
You can bring your device to a local tech shop and check the keyboard inside if there are remnants of liquid to make that there are no liquid inside. If liquid get's in it can damage the chips inside.
Have a wonderful day ahead and stay safe.

Hello!
I don't think I can bring it to a repair shop, I don't knew any repair shops here, they are usually very far away and also I can't remove the casing by myself because i don't want to risk it, it might be misplaced.
Also, I tried to dry it and then turn it on but it seems like it's still dangerous because it kinda overheats and then i just turned it off and then dry again.I'm not that sure if my laptop is covered by warranty and my laptop keyboard type is chiclet type, not the mechanical ones.
Anyways, Are there any symtomps that water has entered any of the compenents like the cpu and motherboard?Also, When is it safe to turn on and charge?Please let me know, I'm really worried...

Good Day Unknown,
My name is Carlo, I am also using Windows 10 pc and community member like you.
There is a big possibility in the long run, what I can suggest is to bring your device to a local shop in your area and have them clean the keyboard inside, to wipe any liquid gets in.
You will only spend few bucks for it just to make sure that there are no liquid residue inside that can ruin the chips inside.
Have a wonderful day ahead and stay safe.
