I accidentally knocked over a cup of water onto my desk while moving my PC, but thankfully, the computer was off and unplugged at the time. I need to get it up and running for work as soon as possible. What's the best way to handle this situation?

You've got a couple of options here. One approach is to carefully open up your PC and dry everything off, then use a hair dryer to speed up the drying process. Just be cautious, as this method isn’t the safest. The other option is to take your time—open it up, clean it, and let it sit in a warm, dry spot for a few days. This is safer but won't get you back to work as quickly.
If you’re dealing with a laptop, make sure to unplug the battery first! And remember, even if it’s turned off and unplugged, there might still be some charge in capacitors or batteries that can be dangerous, so be careful!
I spilled just a tiny bit too and everything's still looking normal. Do you think it’s okay to turn it on now?
