Liquid spill on your laptop?
Take Action Immediately
If you experience a liquid spill on your laptop computer, you can minimize damage to your machine if you follow these steps immediately:
1. Unplug your computer from the wall and from any other devices connected to it.
2. Turn off your computer and keep it off. Avoid the temptation to check on your computer. You could cause further damage.
3. Remove the battery.
4. Carefully wipe off any liquid on the outside of the computer with a soft, dry cloth.
5. Partially open your laptop and stand it up on either short end. This will help your system to dry out and drain.
~Do not use a hair dryer or fan to dry your computer — it may cause further damage to your machine.
~If you turn the computer on before the liquid has been removed from the laptop, you could cause additional damage to your system.
