last night i spilled about 4oz of water on my computer table and it
seeped under my keyboard and computer. I have an imac flat screen with
swivel neck, the white dome. the music was playing while i cleaned up
the mess and the music stopped and the computer froze. I turned off and
then turned it back on. the computer screen was blank. i took the
bottom off after unplugging and dried it with a fan all night. i did
not do this with the key board.
the computer turned on this morning and it gave me this message that
said. if you want to shut down do this if you want to boot the computer
do that..
is there a reset button on these computers
I connected the keyboard to the computer and was not able to type
anything in...
I have read that it is bad to turn the computer on if it is still
drying...
if anyone has any sugestions.

Wait another day. If the keyboard doesn't work; try another one.
