[NBLUG/talk] spill into laptop ...

I'm guessing this is a fatality, but I consult the braintrust (just in case)...

My daughter spilled nail-polish-remover onto the surface of her
Chromebook (Acer c720)

(acetone, water, propylene glycol, dymethyl glutarate, dimethyl
succinate, dimethyl adipate, glycerin, gelatin, fragrance, denatonium
benzoate, yellow #11)

I know the standard advice for water (seal into a bag of rice, let sit
for 2-3 days, try it) and have successfully revived electronica
previously.  I can speculate about the damage to significant
resins/adhesives/etc that might render this a
much-worse-than-an-ordinary-water-spill, but wondered if anyone here
had any specific, certain knowledge that might have bearing...?


Many thanks for any info/advice/etc!
