Yesterday, I accidentally spilled some lukewarm hot chocolate on my Lenovo Legion 5 15irx9 laptop. I wiped it off quickly and let it dry upside down, so it still works, thankfully. However, there's a terrible odor now, and the keys are sticking. I'm looking for a way to unstick the keys and eliminate the smell without taking the laptop apart, as I'm worried that might cause more problems. If you have any faster suggestions, I really need them since I have a lot of work to do. Thanks!

If you're serious about cleaning it, taking it apart might be the best route. But don’t worry too much about that for now; if you want to try a quick fix, you can use some isopropyl alcohol on a cloth to gently clean around the keys. Just be careful not to pour it directly on the laptop! That might help with the odor and stickiness a bit.

If I do take it apart, how do I do that safely? Any tips on the cleaning process would help!
