This short video shows you what steps to take when you accidentally spill water on your laptop. Liquid matters when you spill it on your computer. Water is the “safest” liquid to spill – not that it’s safe at all. People have different techniques when drying out a water logged computer. What tips do you have for accidental liquid spills on laptops?
I recommend not using a blow dryer to dry off a laptop. Blow dryers get very hot and can damage your computer. I recommend opening the laptop up, taking it apart and drying it thoroughly for a few days. If you are not comfortable taking apart a laptop, have a laptop repair company do it. The damage does not happen when the laptop gets wet, the damage occurs when the current from the battery short circuits due to the water which can really put you out a couple hundred dollars. Make sure the laptop is absolutely dry before turning it back on.

The window is very small after water has been spilled so the battery needs to be disconnected within seconds. Don’t even worry about going through the menus to properly shut the computer off. Power it down as fast as possible.
