How to Fix a Wet Laptop
Most of the electronic gadgets, or laptops, do not really go well with liquids. Therefore, if you have recently managed to wet your laptop due to any mishap or accident, it is now imperative for you to dry each and every part of your laptop before you start it. If your computer was on and you have spilled water on it, it’s probably going to take some time to recover. In case your computer was off and you spilled a liquid on it and are trying to switch it on, that is probably not a good idea. Always keep your computer off unless you are absolutely sure that not a single part in it is wet now. Your success depends upon the quick action you take after your computer has been soaked. Try to dry it up as quickly as possible because the longer you wait, it will be more difficult for you to recover your computer. Here is how you can fix a wet laptop.

If your laptop is currently plugged into a power source, unplug it as soon as possible. Rather than trying to move all the way to the socket, simply take off the charger’s wire from your laptop. Moreover, grab an absorbent cloth (probably a towel or a tissue paper) and dry up all the visible water on top of your laptop.

Do not close the laptop’s lid. In fact, turn the laptop upside down so that you can drain out as much water from the keyboard as possible.

During the time you are shaking your laptop to take out water from the keyboard, slide your hand behind the laptop in order to take out the battery. This will cut down all sorts of power supply to your laptop.

Place the laptop upside down and the battery on top of a heating vent. Keep these two things rested this way for at least a week. You wouldn’t want to plug in your laptop even with a drop of water inside it.

After one week has passed, reassemble your laptop. Make sure that every part of your laptop is dry. Most of the time electronic things start working once they have been dried out. Try to open your laptop to check whether it is working or not.
