Even though you may take every possible step to protect your beloved computer, accidents sometimes happen. You may be sitting down to work with a glass of water nearby, and one false step may leave your computer soaked. But not all hope is lost: You can take a few steps to save your computer from a spill fairly quickly.
Instructions
- Take out the battery and set it aside.
- Flip over your laptop and shake out any excess water onto a towel.
- Gently blot the wet areas on your laptop with a dry towel.
- Let the battery and the laptop air-dry overnight.
- If the liquid is thicker than water--like coffee, wine or juice--and it fell onto the keyboard, shake off any excess liquid.
- Pop off any affected keys and blot the area with a paper towel.
- Once you've blotted and the keyboard is dry, put the keys back where they belong.
