What to do (and not do) when you spill a drink on your laptop

Spilling a drink on your laptop can be a very serious problem. But, depending on what you do and how quickly you respond, you may be a lot of damage by minimizing the spill may have on your laptop to save.

What to do in case of spill of a:

Turn on your laptop. If you turned on your laptop spill happens, if that switch it as soon as possible. Normally, the power button hold down for 10 seconds, your fastest way to turn off theLaptop

Remove the battery. After your laptop has been shut down, remove the battery. This is inadvertently powered from your laptop back up and keep away all that might still go on the motherboard (such as sleep or standby mode)

Let it open and turned over to dry out. Let gravity be a friend and try to keep your components, the liquid from drying on your.

Get it repaired and cleaned quickly. Depending on whatis spilled on your laptop, were the liquid may be corrosive, like cola can and still do damage to your laptop. The best defense is sending your laptop for repair as quickly as you can. The faster you get your laptop in the hands of a professional, the better chance you have to minimize the damage.

What you do not:

Do not turn your laptop back on. A lot of people you will at least do not try to see if their laptop is still functioning after the spill. This is theWorst thing you can do. I can not stress how important it is to keep your laptop is off, which has no power until it is resolved.

As you can see, you can spill your reaction to minimize the spill damage that you do to your laptop. I have seen laptop repairs from spills ranging from simple cleaning and diagnostics to replace motherboards, and it is easy to say when the owner of the accident and treated correctly if they did not.
