The first tip is to keep calm and act quickly. There are indeed some moves you need to do to prevent the laptop from being permanently damaged.
Wet computer, what to do to save it?
We know very well that the PC is indispensable for each of us, even if we stay too much in front of the computer can cause mental disorders. Because of its importance, when wet it could be a huge discomfort. But do not give up, it is not to be thrown away or immediately brought to assistance. There are some DIY ‘tricks’.
The first move to make when you have thrown water or other liquids on the computer is immediately disconnect the power to avoid a short circuit. You can also remove the battery if possible to isolate it. Once this action is done, you must never use the hair dryer or put it in the sun, also because you risk damaging it even more than it already is.
Once this action is done you just have to turn it upside down and wait for all the liquid to flow out. The pc must stay in this position for at least 24 hours and hope that things go as they should. This is a strategy to try to dry the instrument and prevent liquid from getting inside.
Once this time has elapsed, you can reconnect the pc and if it works you can use it as safely as ever. While if it doesn’t work you have to take it to the technical service to see what you can edit or save if possible.
