Had the same problem with black ants. What did I do? Remove the HDD and start shaking the laptop vigorously til they decide to run out and then CyberClean all of them.

You'll fry everything unless you dry up every single component.

A laptop isn't as simple in construction as a phone. Even if you did dry everything, there's no guarantee that everything can work properly at 100% again. sweat.gif
