After looking online about how to cope with these types of damages I discovered that the sympton I had was indicative of bad RAM. Instead, the computer would just make 3 beeps and continue doing so after a 3 second interval of silence while the screen remained black. At this point I tried turning it on once more but it would no longer boot. I immedietly shut the computer down and let it sit again for a few minutes. When it did so, the screen once again made a very weird pattern and the computer beeped loudly three times. In fact it was working for a solid 10-15 minutes before it malfunctioned.

Now, any smart person would not bother to touch it again until it completly dried (or put it in a bag of rice if they were really competant) but in my panic I immedietly tried to turn it on again to see if it was okay. I immedietly flipped it over and let it sit for about 15 minutes before drying it off with a towel. I completly froze in shock for a good 5 seconds as the sugary liquid decended into keyboard and the computer fizzled out on its own from the water (it didn't power off, the screen starting making weird patters and then went black). Not only did I potentially make a very costly mistake, I paniced and preceded to probably do the worst sequence of events one could do in my situation. Last night I spilled viatmin water (a lot of it) all over the keyboard of my late 2011 unibody macbook pro while it was powered on. I'm decently skilled in using them when they can actually function but I don't possess a great understanding of the technology behind it. I'd first like to preface this post by saying I'm not very experiencing with the inner-workings of computers.
