1月14日 What should I do when I spill water on my laptopSuprised by the title of the post? Well, this would be the question that you might have when you end up spilling water on the laptop, particularly over the key board. Believe me, I had the experience twice and was able to overcome it the second time by following few quick steps.
1. Plug off the laptop immediately from Electric Power (this would save you a fortune)
2. Shut down / Log Off
3. Remove Battery Power from Laptop (this would save your battery)
4. Hold your laptop upside down so that the water can drain out
5. Take a fine piece of cloth and start wiping it, more in the edges of the keyboard and in between keys. If your laptop set came with a cleaning cloth, use the same. Make sure the cloth itself isnt damp
6. Leave the laptop free for 2 - 3 hours until it gets dried.
7. You can call the technician so that he can open the laptop and further wipe off/ clean off any water / dampness
Your laptop should be fine in a day's time. Note that the time between you pour water and you plugging of electric power determines the intensity of the damage that could be caused and needless to say, it is directly proportional. The longer you take to plug off the power cord, the damages could be serious.
Its not the water / coffee that spoils your laptop but the electricity that flows during the time water plays inside. This leads to short circuit burning the circuits / transistors inside. The fatal thing that could happen is your Mother Board going for a toss. It would cost you a dear 30k ranging upto 50k for quality mother boards.
Never attempt to open the laptop internals yourself and attempt to clean, you may end up damaging it more seriously.
If you follow the 7 steps mentioned above, you could save a few tens of thousands and probably a few heart aches.
Cheers !!!
