Re: Dropped Water on Laptop...
You didn't mention when you spilled the water. If recently, shut it down and don't turn it back on for a couple of days. If you're able, open it up and dry off any liquid you can see. I've heard various ways of doing this, and honestly I don't know what's best. Clean paper towels, Q-tips, hair dryer . . . my guess is the dryer would be best. Then just let it sit to make sure anything you missed evaporates and hope for the best.

Re: Dropped Water on Laptop...
Well, I guess after three years it's probably as dry as it's gonna get. lol
My guess is that the something fried when the water spilled and you probably also need a new battery (and an hdd); the machine should have started while plugged in if all else were ok. Hope I'm wrong and the repair is minor. Good luck. |
