    Tipped over a bottle of water onto the keyboard of my Sager NP7330. I immoderately got my computer away from the spill. The computer was still texting normally as I cleaned it off. It booted off after I unplugged the charger. I immoderately panicked and restarted and everything was looking good. I tested all the keys etc. I then realized my error and unplugged everything and took out the battery. It's externally dry and I have a fan on it. What else can I do? How long should I let it sit. There is no burnt smell. Does my 2 year Sager warranty from Xotic cover this if there is permanent damage? If not, how much could this cost me?

    Thank you!

    Sounds like you've done the steps to prevent any serious damage you can so far. Just be sure its completely dry before you use it again. If you're comfortable doing so take it apart to make sure all water is gone otherwise it will start to rust.
    Sager computers do not include accidental damage so no, it would not be covered if something were to result from the spill.
    Prices really cant be quoted without getting the computer sent in and inspected as the price would depend on what got damaged. Hopefully it wont come to that.

    the word is 'immediately.' i correct you only because your english is otherwise very good. (and yes, i'm assuming english is your second language. i'd be rather confused if it wasn't.)
