i think you should disassemble it completely. it' quite easy and you need only phillips head screwdriver and torx T5 (or was it T6) key. then clean it up (you may have to use some rubbing alcohol to get the dryed beer out of components.) assemble it and try it out.
I painted my N900 and disassembling it was wery easy, just think and look before trying to pull something apart
pity though, heineken is such a good broduct. so is n900...

it's easy. your phone is drunk. you have make a rehab process. it's not easy, and there will be drawbacks. but it's your only solution.
good luck.

Lol The beer is Belgium and the phone is designed in Finland but made in Korea. No wandered why it won't likes each other. Or else the N900 probably is drunk by now.
Did you try to take it apart? And clean the board with Alcohol ethanol 100%
Use ethanol on cotton wool and then clean it off the board. Use hair dryer and drying it on warm not Hot. Leave it for a while and reassemble. That should work once more.
Source? My dad is an electrician, machanics, engineer and also a professor
He retired and he fixed electronic goods for over 30years. And I learned something from him though not everything. My older brothers learned everything from my dad Guess i'm just lazy

????????? switch off the phone! open it, and put all the parts on a big jar of rice (covered)! the rice absorbs the liquids
change the rice every day, when it'll be dry, then u can switch it on again after u assembled again the parts.
Rice does not help in drying electronics.
Just think a second. Do you got your rice in a box? Does it get wetter and wetter every day because it soaks up the humidity ... no.
Always dry just in warm air (not hot air).

It won't hurt to give it more alcohol to sober it up

Anyways, at least he got to RMA it. IIRC nobody's had problems with warranty and kernels. People have had problems with 1150-1150 and damaged silicon.
