Hi Dave, we had a similar experience with a cup of coffee and a Macbook. You could not have soaked the Macbook more if you had dropped a bomb full of coffee on that laptop. EVERYTHING except the display needed to be replaced. It was expensive, roughly $900. It was easy to get parts for that computer. Not sure about your old Dell. Then you have to decide if the juice is worth the squeeze. With the cost of repair, you may need a new computer.
I guess if someone bombs the United States wouldn't we consider it war?
Submerge it in raw rice for awhile and see what happens.

Ugh, sorry to hear that. My Dell is only two years old. Hopefully, I haven’t trashed it. Too soon to know.
