I think almost everyone sat down to watch YouTube or their favorite series, taking a snack and a drink, leaving drinks and food next to the laptop. Food crumbs won’t do much damage to your laptop, but spilled liquid can cause serious damage. If you eat and drink near a desktop, only the keyboard will suffer if you spill tea or water, but things are different with a laptop.
However, if you spilled some liquid on the laptop, let’s find out what should be done immediately after the incident.
-
The rice method won’t help much with this problem, but it will just take time.
-
Immediately, you need to turn off the laptop completely – unplug the cable from the outlet and remove the battery.
-
If any devices (printers, flash drives) were connected to the laptop at the time of the emergency, everything needs to be removed.
-
On the keyboard, you can put a thin towel or paper napkins. Next, you need to close the laptop and flip the structure over. Thanks to this simple method, you can prevent the “filling” from entering and spilling water inside it, since just a couple of drops can cause a short circuit.
-
After that, you can open the laptop in the same state upside down and gently wipe off any remaining liquid, if any is visible.
-
Don’t dry your laptop with a hair dryer!
-
Do not turn on the laptop, even if it seems to you that the liquid is gone.
-
If you have just spilled water on your laptop, then there are high chances to save your device. Especially if you go to specialists in a timely manner.
-
But if cola, alcohol or juice is spilled, everything is more serious. It is necessary to completely unplug the device and rinse it slightly with water. Yes, this is also harmful, but the chemicals found in sugary sodas will do more harm than water.
-
In addition, you can also apply the tips with napkins and by turning the structure over, but then you have to take the device to a service center.
-
If you can’t get the laptop in for service, do everything as described above and leave the laptop in a warm, dry room for at least a day, then you can try to turn it on. And when the opportunity arises, it is better to consult with a specialist.
Here are some simple and elementary tips that can save your laptop and should not be neglected.
I will not describe how to clean and disassemble the laptop myself, because. this is everyone’s business. Of course, I advise you to turn to professionals and not to disassemble the device yourself.
