Liquid and electronics are a VERY bad combination. The liquid will become a corrosive, white-blue, paste on the electronics. The electricity and water (with it's impurities) are quite damaging. This type of damage is very distinctive and the cause is also obvious.
One thing I find odd about Amir's claim is they tried to replace the "inverter" and they hadn't done the prerequisite visual inspection before attempting any repair. This is a given in the repair industry.
Your second "expert technician" was very much in error in what he told you. It's true, the spill will pretty much dry up, but it will still absorb moisture from the air and continue it's corrosive action. It will actually eat through component leads and circuit board foils. This all occurs over time and is additive.
I spent 23 years as a senior technician in the consumer electronics industry and have seen this many times.
Many customers, especially if the unit was under warranty, deny that it could have ever happened.
Even if your computer is somehow made to work again, it may not be very reliable.
Your only alternative would appear to replace the board (too expensive) or replace the computer and keep the glass of water (soda) away from your computer.
Good luck and sorry you experienced this.
