Coffee on new MacBook
Long story short: Working from home, with at baby on the knee, drinking coffe = coffee in shiny new laptop.
I have done this before, with a MacBook 2,1 - so I quickly turned the laptop off, tore out the powercord, put a newspaper on the keyboard and turned it upside down. Getting the battery out was harder though, so I let it remain (my second mistake?). After ca 24 hours I turned the laptop back (probably too soon), and checked the newspaper - which had absorbed a decent amount of coffee. But the laptop won't turn on. (When I connected power, the battery was loading for a couple of minutes - and then turned green.)
I've opened the back and removed the harddrive and memory, as well as the battery connector now. There's no coffee in the power connector - or any other connectors that I can see.
So, I guess my question is: Is there any chance to save the laptop? Am I in for a logic board change - or will a wait an see approach likely be enough? (The coffee inside is still a bit wet.) Should I tear it down as far as I can and wipe the coffee off? Is there anyone else out there as stupid as I am?

Yeah, no cream nor sugar - clean coffee. I have three children, so I compulsively throw the silica packs away. I'll just have to get the missing torcs bits and try to clean it as well as I can, and see if it works after Christmas or so - when it has had some more time to dry. We'll see then if it's really fried, or just a bit grumpy.
Thanks for your answers!

How new is it? Because while Apple won't officially cover accidental damage, I've had them cover me crashing the hard drive and I've heard similar stories.
