I had an old P75 IBM Thinkpad that I dumped a cup of coffee on.  It was cheaper 
to buy a used unit than for IBM to replace the MB and KBD so I just pulled the 
RAM and HD and put them in the refurbed unit.  A few months later my kid, 12 at 
the time, wanted to see the insides of a laptop so we pulled the dead unit 
apart.  After we put it back together, on a whim I fired it up and it worked!  
Just needed some time in the desert to dry out, I guess.
