A lot of ThinkPads, including this one, have small water reservoirs which collect water and save the laptop from being damaged. The water is then drained from the holes on the bottom of the laptop. Putting it upside down or taking it apart to try and dry it will actually harm the laptop rather than fix it. It's capable of draining most, if not all of the water on its own.

Since then it has been split with water,coffee.milk shake's accidently of course and is yet to show a single bit of disturbance. I even have a video of it getting it rolled by my car and it proved out to pass its MIL SPECS with flying colors. I can bet that this lady has been bribed by another laptop company out there which I assume is Apple as she has made a video on the IMac and Macbook Pro to be the toughest to withstand all the so called torture tests she shows do put them through (I doubt the tests she did was on the same Mac at all).

A turned of MBA in a tray of water which later dried for days or a turned on laptop with fluid turned in it? Later on even opened....

I don't think she should have tilted the laptop upside down after pouring the coffee on it. Most thinkpads are engineered with drain holes on the bottom; so the liquid can pour out. I think the keyboard sits in a "trough" with holes on the bottom. Tilting it upside down may cause the liquid to end up in places where it shouldn't. This is a fail on the tester's part.

Hey thanks for the reply. I don't have an X1 Carbon, so I can't confirm if it has drain holes or not. I know my T430s does, as well as every other thinkpad I've seen. Just one question - how can the X1 Carbon have a spill proof/resistant keyboard without drain holes on the bottom? The liquid needs a place to go, and unless the keyboard is perfectly sealed (to prevent liquid from going in), it needs to have a way to let the liquid drain out.

If the motherboard still works (and it did, it boots, screen works, et cetera) you can be damn sure that the keyboard, which is specifically made to handle liquids, would still work. Her disassembly, without having the required skill or knowledge to even disconnect the keyboard/trackpad, is probably what made the trackpad misbehave and the keyboard not respond at all. Check that connector and I predict it would still work.
