!!Spilled water on laptop!!

[Clart]

Never mix girlfriends with laptops. she managed to spill 1/2 a cup of peppermint tea over my work laptop that i've had a week.

Now it don't work

FUK

Whats the best thing to do?

 

[bigmaddaz]

dump her ?

edit. only kidding mate!

 

[Gareth]

keep it powered off, remove as much as you can, hdd, battery, cd, etc, etc tip it up on one side to let any water run out, leave it a day, dry off the removed bits and check for no water inside the laptop itself, piece it back together, if it doesn't turn on then its f'd

airing cupboard for the weekend??

 

[Clart]

hopefully, if it all dries out and i've not run any power through it and fried something it should be ok

 

[Final Maxim]

thats gonna be fucked dude, all the keys are gonna be sticky forever.
its gonna be like my old keyboard that i was sick on,

 

[Tim-Grove]

i managed to drop my gameboy in the bath once. i know it's not a laptop but the airing cupboard for a couple of days sorted it out

-----edit------

laptop keyboards dont cost to much

 

[Dave]

[Clart]

its not sticky at all, it was just water really

classic!!

I'd do this, always worked on my mobile phones when dropped them in the river

 

[MRBILLYUK]

Didn't you get any kind of insurance with your laptop ? If not claim on your house insurance mate .

It happened more than once?!!! bugger!

 

[fUbAr]

dont be tempted to power it back on after a day "just to check" if it works... thats when things go bang!

leave it for 3 days in the airing cupboard... should see it good.

 

[M1TCH]

lol yeah I think it did, one time we were down the river and I was running through it and the phone fell out my pocket

and another time I think it was at a fishing lake somewhere lol opps

 

[Clart]

haha it works!!!!

hairdryer and airing cupboard seemed to do the trick. cheers guys

 

[fUbAr]

heh, sorted :approve:

 

[M1TCH]

cool

that was lucky, keep it on for a while and the heat from itself should completely dry out everything

 

[The Big Yin]

My old laptop met an early grave with a mug of sweet coffee , lucky it was only tea

 

[Gareth]

my work one got coke spilled on it, needed a new keyboard around £100 on the company, whoops.

 

[Dansta]

feel for ya mate, been there done that. twice.

remember.... keyboard warrior... pmsl

leave it all to dry for a few days and keep fingers crossed.

if you get any electronic device wet:

-IMMEDIATLY REMOVE THE BATTERY!!!
-dont use excessive heat as things will expand and contract
-leave it to dry out with gentle heat, i.e 60w lightbulb.
-try and dry as much as you can.
-open it up as much as you can and dab with cotton bud. to get rid of excess water.

thanks to some tv prog where they did an experiment :approve:
