A liquid spill is a race against corrosion. What you do in the first few minutes can decide whether your laptop survives.
Do This Immediately- 1. Power off — hold the power button. Do NOT wait for a normal shutdown.
- 2. Unplug the charger and remove the battery if it is removable.
- 3. Turn it upside down (like a tent) to drain liquid away from the board.
- 4. Do NOT use it, charge it, or "test" it — powering a wet board causes short circuits.
- 5. Do NOT use rice or a hairdryer — these don't remove residue and heat can cause damage.
Sugary or salty liquids (tea, soft drinks) corrode the board fast. The safest move is a professional liquid-damage service: the technician opens the laptop, ultrasonically cleans the board, and stops corrosion — often saving a laptop that would otherwise be lost.
