Keep the notebook away from liquids. If this does happen, it will most likely have to be disassembled, washed some parts and dried thoroughly.
The laptop requires accuracy from the owner. Spilled liquid is a threat to the proper operation of the device. On a typical desktop computer, the keyboard is less responsive, but a laptop is a different matter.
The most ideal option would be to contact a specialist in a service center. But this is not always possible, and often expensive. In addition, it is necessary to act quickly and provide first aid to the laptop as soon as possible. There are several steps to help you save your laptop.
Turn off and wipe
It will not be enough to clean the keyboard of the spilled liquid by wiping it, it may not solve the problem. It's one thing if a few drops get on the keyboard, but if you spill a glass of liquid? The first thing to do is turn off the laptop as soon as possible and then immediately remove the battery from it.
The buttons on the outside can be wiped off with ordinary wet wipes, and then processed with dry ones. To get rid of any liquid that got inside, the laptop must be turned over so that the keyboard is facing straight down and gently shake it. If drops get inside, they will fall out.
We dry
The laptop should not be turned on after that. It needs to be left on for about 24 hours to dry completely. Some people dry the laptop with a hair dryer and other devices, but this is not recommended, since overheating is harmful.
Disassembling a laptop
If the laptop does not get ordinary water, but something sweet (soda, juice, tea, coffee), simple drying will not save it. The laptop will need to be carefully disassembled and the motherboard removed from it, as well as all devices that could get liquid. Everything must be rinsed under a slight pressure of water, wiped and dried.
The next step is to inspect all parts for oxidation. Particular attention should be paid to the motherboard, as it is a kind of laptop brain. The oxidized zone is washed in warm running water and dried for about two days. Then the damaged areas need to be thoroughly soldered. If you do not even have an idea of how to do this, then it is better not to start. Just take the laptop to the master.
If you did it without a wizard, you can assemble and turn on the laptop. But if the laptop does not turn on, then you will definitely have to take it to a service center. At the same time, tell the specialist all the actions that you took on your own to save the laptop. This will greatly reduce the repair time for the device.
