Laptops are very convenient to use because of their portability. We tend to carry it wherever we go and place them on top of any place where it can sit. Sometimes we eat, drink and work at the same time and accidentally spill water, food particles etc. Here are some tips that were performed from our customers that saved their laptop:

1. First of all, since water is a good conductor of electricity, to avoid short circuiting of components, quickly remove the battery and the power cord from the laptop. Then followed by the external components like speakers, mouse, flash drives or any devices that are connected. Make sure you are properly insulated to be safe.

2. Flip the laptop upside down to prevent water from seeping in though most laptops will have protective panels.

3. Get a lint free cloth to wipe out the water from between the keys and any spillages you can find.

4. If the laptop still has warranty or if the manufacturer allows, certain keyboards are easily removable. Try to remove it and wipe the spilled water on the keyboard. If you are not comfortable, you can get someone's help or better call the technical support.

5. Once the cleaning and wiping of all the residue is complete, let the components dry naturally before assembling them.

6. It is advisable not to use a hair dryer or dry in the sun. Moderate temperature is required else it might damage the electrical components.

7. After it is dried completely, assemble it back, connect battery and power cord and restart the laptop. If it still do not fix the issue, try with an external laptop or contact technical support.

These steps works most of the time however depending on the amount of water spilled on the keyboard and the internal enclosure of the components,be aware that it is not a quick fix guarantee.
