How to Fix a Laptop If It Gets Wet
- 1). Take out the battery and set it aside.
- 2). Flip over your laptop and shake out any excess water onto a towel.
- 3). Gently blot the wet areas on your laptop with a dry towel.
- 4). Let the battery and the laptop air-dry overnight.
- 5). If the liquid is thicker than water--like coffee, wine or juice--and it fell onto the keyboard, shake off any excess liquid.
- 6). Pop off any affected keys and blot the area with a paper towel.
- 7). Once you've blotted and the keyboard is dry, put the keys back where they belong.
