i guess that would all depend on the type of insurance cover that you took out - you'll prob need to read the small print. good luck filling in the claim form though lol

It should be covered by the accidental dammage section of your contents insurance. Should be a straight forward enough claim.

before you send it away then you can take the hard drive out, then IF you can claim on your insurance, you could put the hard drive back in, i doubt it could be damaged by liquid, they are pretty solid, its weird that the laptop has gone wrong because most laptop are water proof, due to alot of people using them outside, you might not be able to claim though, some companies are funny about liquid damage, but then again you could argue that it should be water proof, and also was an accident.

The hard drive should be quite easy to take out, most are just held in by a few screws, but obviously make sure that taking apart your laptop is covered by insurance
