help! sweat on the motherboard of a thinkpad = paranoid owner

i recently upgraded my newest thinkpad the x120e 's ram while doing so i dropped a liitle sweat on it accidently the drops which were visible were on the hard drive  , wiped them off right away after a min of drying the computer under a fan , booted it up , it's working fine only the fan is running as if there is some blood thirsty monster is chaseing it, how can i determine if this thinkpad will live or not, it's working fine until now, but well it should not die on me in the future or i will be screaming my lungs out like a little girl.

any help is appreciated.

If it dried before you turned it on, there should be nothing wrong.

Nothing is wrong with it. Had something been wrong it wouldn't be working.

Re: help! sweat on the motherboard of a thinkpad = paranoid owner

So, sweat dropped on the motherboard or the hard drive? It's not the same thing, even it looks similar

i know  i meant the internals of the computer but in my case its an ssd so it is really solderd to the motherboard.

Shouldn't be a problem when you let it dry before turning it on.

That is the strangest thing that I see can happen, sweat??? Even if I am in Andalucía it did not happen to me yet.

Re: help! sweat on the motherboard of a thinkpad = paranoid owner

With the complete lack of flow and grammar in your post. I had to read the post a few times to get what you were saying.
Are you sure the SSD is soldered in? Whether it is or not, the only thing you would have had to worry about after the sweat dried is the salt left behind. If the SSD is like most, the salt won't affect the plastic case. If the sweat were on metal, that would be different.
Please, for the love of kittens, use a bit of grammar next time.

^ Every time someone invokes the kittens meme...

If there's any salt on the wiring, a gentle scrubbing with a firm toothbrush should take care of it.
