I accidentally poured a whole bottle of cola onto my computer and it ended up inside. I acted fast, cut power as soon as I could, and disassembled the device. Fortunately, everything seems okay except for the graphics card. Now I'm trying to clean it with distilled water in the hope it might still function, though I'm not sure if it will help. It's worth a shot.

Moisten a cloth with distilled water and use it to collect any remaining droplets. Afterward, repeat the process with another cloth soaked in the strongest isopropyl alcohol available (91% is commonly found at pharmacies, supermarkets, and large retailers in the US). Wipe up the liquid carefully—avoid wiping too hard to prevent damaging tiny parts on the board. Allow it to air dry for a few days. Using a fan while it dries can help speed the process.

Which nation are you from? I’m not aware of any place where Isopropyl Alcohol is restricted to pharmacies only.

It's commonly available in supermarkets. You can also purchase it online, which offers delivery within 1 to 2 days.

I was really fortunate—it landed on my GPU and maybe my PSU, but I already had a backup PSU and was planning to replace the GPU soon. However, it would take just a week or two.
