Yeah dude, ummmmm as long as it's still working try and open it up, and then get a non fibred cloth and some pure alcohol, dilute it with warm water and very delicately try and wipe it up. Obviously unplug everything, don't wet the cloth too much. And just be gentle. If it is a reeeeeeally small amount of coke, then just let it dry out in the sun or a hot water cupboard!

Hope that helps

EDIT: Also for the really hard to reach spots get some cotton buds that you use to clean your ears and dip them lightly into some acohol, methelated spirits or whatever else like that. Make sure you dry it after cleaning it aswell, as to not leave any residue behind.

Firstly, don't power it up. Like Green said, crack that puppy open and wipe out the sticky coke residue with a soft cloth and alcohol. Then let it sit to completely dry out. You can point a fan at it to speed up the drying process or a hair dryer.

Easier said then done. I already got it apart. It got spild while it was one, it cut off and now wont come on. My expectations aren't too high, but i didn't see any smoke so I'm gonna give it a try.

I'm sorry dude but you might be right in saying that your expectations aren't too high, if it cut out straight away then its quite possible that it short circuited and fried itself, but try to clean it up and dry it none the less, and see what happens. You got nothing to lose!
