I accidentally spilled milk on my Acer Nitro 5 laptop. I managed to clean up most of it quickly, but it seems some milk has dried inside the keyboard, and now it smells like rotten milk. I don't have any isopropyl alcohol right now, and I can't open the laptop myself. What can I do to get rid of this terrible smell?

It's tough dealing with spills like that! Since you can't open it up or use isopropyl alcohol, I recommend taking it to a professional repair shop. They can assess the damage and clean it out properly for you. It's also important to address this soon because it can lead to mold growth over time, which can cause more issues.
Definitely! It's better to get it checked out before the smell turns into something worse.
I’ve seen this before with milk spills, and it can smell horrible. Usually, I recommend getting it inspected to see if a keyboard replacement is necessary. Cleaning with distilled water and isopropyl alcohol is ideal, but if the smell persists, a replacement might just be your best option. It could take some time, but better safe than sorry!
How long does it typically take for the mold to grow if it’s left unaddressed?
If you’re planning a replacement, it’s good to schedule it soon to avoid any nasty surprises!
That's a good point! How serious can mold get? I mean, how long are we talking before it becomes a real problem?
