Your post is just a garbled bunch of nonsense. Maybe something is wrong with your computer?

you can take it apart...
and make sure nothing on the inside is wet. Make sure it is 100% dry before turning it on again, or its toast.

Oh that is not good, I havent even spilled beer on my regular computer keyboard yet, hard to believe. A laptop sounds like a pretty bad place to spill it alright.

Honestly ive spilled so much beer around the area where my laptop is. But I purposely position my laptop such that its hard to spill beer on it, unless i physically let it slip from my hand i pretty much dont have to worry about it. Thats how little I trust myself however. Trusting oneself is a very interesting concept.

a friend of mine recently spilled tea on the keyboard of her laptop. I helped her to take all the parts out like the harddisk, dvd player, memory sticks etc. we wiped off every moist we saw and put the laptop half open on it's side (like you could put a book straight up on it's side, half opened. And let it dry for a few days. After that it worked fine again!
According to the manual of the laptop you need to let it dry by itself at room temp, don't use artificial drying help like fans, heaters etc.
Beer is stickier than tea so I hope this works for you. good luck!

I'm amused by the thought of portable vacuum states. imagine the infomercials..... "INTROOOODUCING THE RONCO VACU-MATOR 640P!!! POWERFUL ENOUGH TO CONDUCT LABORATORY RESEARCH, COMPACT ENOUGH TO FIT IN YOUR SHIRTPOCKET!"
as for your laptop i would heed everyone else's advice and avoid turning it on at all costs until you're sure it's dry. a girl i know toasted hers in the middle of the semester last year after she spilled a glass of wine on it.... equipo electronico no le gusta estar mojado.
have you seen those spill-proof desktop keyboards? it's an injection molded rubber deal with keys inside. snazzy.
