I spilled a drink made of sweetened herbs on my Lenovo Legion 5 laptop. I quickly turned it off, unplugged it, and flipped it upside down within about seven seconds. It's been in this position for 17 hours now. I'm looking for advice on how to prevent major damage. Specifically, I want to know: What should I do next? When can I safely turn it back on? Should I take it for professional maintenance? And what tests should I run to ensure everything is still functioning properly? Any advice is greatly appreciated!

You did the right thing by turning it off and flipping it over! I'd suggest checking out the maintenance manual on Lenovo's site. You can find instructions on how to safely remove the keyboard and look for any liquid damage underneath. Lenovo keyboards are generally pretty easy to take off and replace if needed. It’s worth a look!
Yeah, and don’t worry too much! Lenovo laptops have some design features that help keep liquids from getting too deep, so you might just need a simple fix.
Given that it was a sugary drink, I would recommend getting it checked professionally before you try to turn it back on. It's better to be cautious and avoid any potential issues from the residue.
Can I do that at home?
