I just spilled soda on my brand new laptop while using it. I immediately flipped it upside down and tried to clean it with paper towels. It seems to be functioning fine since I used it for a couple of hours afterward, but I'm worried about any possible damage. What's the best way to check for issues without causing more harm?

If you really want to check, just disassemble it and look for any signs of moisture on the components. Don't delay—water damage can get worse!
Honestly, the safest bet is to take it apart and check for any water or corrosion damage. I know it sounds extreme, but it's the best way to know for sure, even though it might void your warranty.
You might want to face reality; it’s likely damaged. Even if it works for now, the keyboard will probably get sticky over time. You could replace the keyboard or even repair the motherboard if needed, though.
If it seems to be working fine for now, you could just keep using it, but keep an eye out for any weird behaviors.
