Actions to take after a liquid spill on your laptop Coffee, soda, wine and other liquids spilled on your laptop can cause severe damage to your system and result in costly repairs. We strongly recommend keeping liquids away from your laptop. As tempting as it might be, accidents can and do happen. In the event that you do spill something on your laptop computer, you can minimize damage to your machine if you follow these steps immediately: 1. Unplug your computer from the wall and from any other devices connected to it. 2. Turn off your computer and keep it off. Avoid the temptation to check on your computer. You could cause further damage. 3. Remove the battery. 4. Carefully wipe off any liquid on the outside of the computer with a soft, dry cloth. 5. Partially open your laptop and stand it up on either short end. This will help your system to dry out and drain. Do not use a hair dryer or fan to dry your computer — it may cause further damage to your machine. If you turn the computer on before it is completely dry, you could cause additional damage to your system. 6. Bring your laptop in to IndyLaptops for diagnostics and repair service within 24-48 hours or sooner if possible. In the case of a liquid spill, it’s always in your best interest to seek help from the professionals at IndyLaptops before attempting to service the laptop yourself. 10411 N.
