Useful details before booking or posting a device.
What should I do after spilling liquid?
Power off the laptop, disconnect the charger, avoid pressing keys and request triage before attempting to use it again.

Can data be recovered?
Often the drive can be removed and assessed, but this depends on drive type, encryption and damage.
