Liquid Spills on Laptop
Liquid intrusion can cause the following types of laptop damage:
- Short circuit due to conductive nature of wet liquid (problem may clear as liquid dries)
- Short circuit due to dried liquid residue
- Corrosion occurs (particularly volatile with some acidic soft drinks - Coke)
- Electronic components damaged by above short circuits
Immediately when a spill occurs, turn off the laptop, invert the laptop and leave the unit upside down (drainage) for at least 20-30 minutes. Then, remove any attached leads, remove the power unit and battery, and allow the unit to air-dry overnight.
