10 Steps to Saving Your Laptop After a Spill
First and foremost, turn it off.
Time is of the essence here, so if need be, go ahead and do a hard shutdown.
If you might, remove the battery because if liquid reaches the battery, it will short out.
Next, remove any cables, external drives, removable bays, and externalnetwork cards.
You dont want your laptop to be connected to anything.
Then quickly, but carefully, blot up excess liquid with a soft cloth preferably a lint-free absorbent fabric.
Be sure not to use a wiping motion as that just pushes the liquid around.
Blot up the liquid that may have gotten on the removable media.
Tilt the laptop from side to side to allow the liquid to drain out.
Do this gently do not shake the laptop.
Place upside down so that any excess liquid that you couldn’t reach will drain out.
Carefully dry the laptop with the cool air while still upside down to let the liquid drain.
Pay special attention to thekeyboardand the parts you removed.
Keep the blow dryer or compressed air moving.
Once your laptop has had time to dry, reattach the removable components and start up the laptop.
If your laptop is still under warranty, you should follow those procedures first.
