Yes I did take the battery out but no wine on anything critical. Left the keyboard to dry til now and when I plug it in the laptop powers on and off. Either it's still wet or it's broken.

SpinRite is taking AAAAAGES. I'm gonna try and image the drive instead. If I do do I need anothrr drive as big as this one or only as big as the used space on it?

Yes, looks like I do to try Dd_rescue.

The removing the battery is to ensure there's no power so nothing can short - should really do it ASAP. (i.e. quickly save any files then forcibly shut it down.

How are you drying it out? I'm sure it was here that I got the bowl of rice tip from - helps to absorb moisture. Though that's more for phones possibly... a laptop would need a large enough bowl/tray and enough rice.

It was only the keyboard I washed. Luckily it contained the wine and stopped it getting to anything underneath. I took it out and washed it under the tap.

Dried it on a paper towel over night and I've since put it on the radiator for a bit. Might try rice if it doesn't start working.

What sort of keyboard does it have that you can take it out without a liquid getting anywhere else? Is it one of those detachable transformer ones, or something else?

Also, can you try the machine without the keyboard attached, or does it fail with a press F1 error? :)

This one.

I have no way of booting without the keyboard attached because the power button is on the keyboard. I did, however, boot the laptop with another keyboard attached, remove the laptop keyboard and it worked.

And it was only q small amount of wine luckily.

Just tried it and managed to get Windows to boot. None of the keys worked.

Dd_rescue has so far imaged ~25% of the drive. 13MB from the start, 40GB after skipping the first 4GB and 20GB from the end.

It was taken ages trying to retrieve the bad bits but I can skip sections of the drive to find good bits. Fingers crossed I'll get some bits back at least.

55GB now. Not sure what to do with the image to recover boys yet.

First time I ran it it was copying the drive really quickly. It wasn't until the drive I was creating the image on ran out of space that I realised I was copying my SSD to my other HDD. Got mixed up with SDA and SDB.

I'm not used to Linux :(

I think it's actually working :O Created an image skipping some bad areas. Might be some other good bits in between but surprisingly little was unrecoverable.

I booted into Windows, mounted the drive with... something, and currently using GetDataBack on it.

There ya go. Maybe in the future there be a distro for you. Linux isn't just for diagnostics/data recovery any more. Imagine: If Linux can do what Windoze can't in terms of recovery, think of how great it will be at doing other things. You won't miss reboots on updates, for one.  ;-)

I am too used to saying that because I used to use it all the time.

Amazingly I've managed to recover 16,000 files. Some are corrupt but most are fine.

Congratulations on the progress. Backups?
