I think its worth taking them appart and cleaning up. I've spilled stuff on my laptop before but i had the keyboard off and it all dry within minutes. It is possible that a clean up will fix it but unlikely.

Failing that though assume the motherboard is dead and sell the parts on ebay individually, ie. screen.... hdd carrier (if there is one), cd drive, ram....


JAmes.
