so my sister just spilled a glass of water on my new laptop...

[wasssup]

...what do I have to look forward to?

I wiped it dry with a towel, turned it off and popped the battery...it was working when I shut it off but who knows what'll happen when I attempt to turn it on next. The kicker was she got pissed off at me because I was angry she spilled a glass of water onto my new laptop. Good stuff.

murder her.

 

[Balt]

Post her pics as revenge.

 

[CraKaJaX]

put her in the washer.

 

[Ika]

bleed her.

 

[Fritzo]

Let it sit for a day or so, and turn it in different positions every few hours. When it dries it should be OK.

PWN HER If it was new send it back and say it just stop working or something they might not notice (Anyone?)

My daughter spilled kool-aid into my new laptop. Turned it off, took it apart and cleaned everything and dry'd with an air house. Tried it out after putting back together and it Works perfect.

It should be ok if you let it dry completely. Just don't use it for a couple of days. Make sure it's totally dry though. Water tends to evaporate reeeeeeeely slowly when it's in a confined and relatively unventilated space.

Sigh. There's always someone in these threads advocating warranty fraud.

A warranty covers product defects. Accidental stupidity damage coverage is sometimes available, but costs extra.

ALL women do this. Tears are used as a weapon



Blow it down best you are able with canned air, set it up in front of a box fan for 24 hours of drying time...In a warn room.
Change it's position often during the 24 hours.

Heres are a couple of things to try. Give it at minimum 36 hours before you attempt to do anything to it. The keyboards most of the time are tray like and should catch most of the watter. If it is sticking keys you can take it off and soak it in a clean ceramic container thats been rinsed with isopropyle alcohol. Let it soak in distilled water with a little bit of the iso alcohol and see if it works again after that drys.


Its not really water that kills it, its the let over mineral deposits that cause the short.

I'm thinking wait the few days then have your favorite sister pay for repairs to get it back to new? Not going to be fun, but in this real world thing, you break it you buy it is a rule.

Yep, that's exactly what I'd do to my sister in case she did such a thing.

I don't think whether or not it could work is the point.
