I accidentally spilled milk on my laptop's keyboard, and immediately tried to mitigate the damage by disconnecting everything and turning it upside down to dry it off. Unfortunately, it blue-screened and got stuck at 0% recovery. I pressed the power button, and it shut down completely. I haven't done anything else and won't be able to check it until tomorrow. I'm really worried—how much damage could I be facing?

First off, it might not be as bad as you think! It's crucial to check for any dump files from the blue screen, as they can give insights into what went wrong. If you can get into Windows or Safe Mode, go to C:WindowsMinidump and see if any dump files are there. If you find some, zip them up and upload them to a file-sharing site, like Mediafire. Just remember, it's best to follow some recovery guides to set your system to create small memory dumps for future crashes.
Oh man, spilling any liquid on a laptop is tough! Since you mentioned it's sticky, it's likely you'll need to replace the keyboard at the very least. If the milk got deeper into the laptop, it might require a full disassembly for cleaning. And there's always the risk of short-circuiting some components, which could mean replacing parts or the entire laptop. It really depends on how deep the milk penetrated!
