Liquid cooling problems

Alrighty - so I finally switched over the colling unit listed in my sig from my old empty case to my new one (Mystique 632). It all works - and I got all the air bubbles out except for the REEEEALLY tiny ones. I am sure it will take them a while to actually work their way out of th system. I hooked the whole system up to a PSU and ran it for about 30 minutes with everything else off. So, having that said - this brings me to my 2 questions.

1. What is the most effective way to get rid of those little air bubbles?

2. I am using the Tt Green Cooling Liquid - which I was under the impression that it was non-conductive - but apparently during the filling of the system (which is a real **** by the way due to the pain in the A$$ resevoir) I got a few drops in the case. I wiped everything off and I thought I got everything, but unfortunately I missed a drop or 2 that fell directly on the SATA power connector on my Maxtor SATA drive. It doesn't even spin up anymore. I blew out all the water, I THOUGHT I had it dry but it still doesn't spin up. I am going to try it again in the morning after it has had some time to dry, but I was just wondering if everyone thinks its totally dead and it's time for RMA or if there is a way to save it. I wouldn't care except, Windows + customization + WoW + Steam (HL2 - DoD - CS:S) + Prey + Battlefield 2 w/expansion + Doom3 generally takes me about 5 hours to set up. I would LOVE to avoid this work.

Let me know guys
 
might wanna post this in the water cooling section but err to get rid of the bubbles, run the water cooling system and have the reservoir at the highest point and flick the tubes ;)
 
pics of your system would help a lot in letting us help you get rid of the air bubbles.
sometimes moving the case around in odd ways/angles will help get the bubbles out.
