What to do if liquid is spilled on your laptop: saving your equipment
Often a cup of tea ends up in close proximity to a laptop.
While working, you can accidentally touch it, and the drink will spill on the keyboard. How to save the computer in this case, what should be done first.
If the laptop is connected to the power grid, you need to turn it off immediately (if possible, remove the battery).
The computer should then be turned upside down to drain the water. While holding down the power button, the computer is turned off (if the battery cannot be removed). This will prevent a short circuit.
Quickly remove all connected devices (flash drives, memory cards, etc.) from the slots.
Use paper towels or a cotton cloth to wipe the ports, cooling holes, and especially the computer keyboard.
Then it should be dried for several days (it is not recommended to use a fan or hair dryer).
After drying, you can try to turn on the laptop. If this is successful, it is better to copy important data to a flash drive.
After all, after "bathing" the device may fail. This happens after a few days or even a month.
It is very bad if tea or coffee with sugar gets on the keyboard. In this case, you will have to open the machine and clean the components.
It is better not to do this yourself. After all, then you can not only damage them, but also lose the guarantee for free repairs.
