Why hello. I have a topic I'd like serious help. I'm going to speed type this because I'm sort of in a hurry so please don't mind any mistakes: one day I was playing some minecraft with friends and OH **** a bottle of water spilled on my laptop. I picked it up fast but still quite a bit fallen on my keyboard. I cleaned it off with a rag quickly. But being the dumbass I'm. I decided to keep playing since I was in a bit of rush for approximately 5 minutes. Then I noticed the / key wasn't working. Or half my keyboard. Then after about 30 seconds or so the rest of my keyboard stopped. I quickly said gtg and forced shut down took out the plug. But here's what else. I tried blowing out water with my mouth out of they keyboard. (I know I made some dumb mistakes) but of course I put it upside down. Ohthe laptop works fine but the USB plugs don't work ( or coincidentally my mouse didn't work) and my whole keyboard stopped. I tried this about a few hours later to check on it. I googled ALOT but still not sure. Now it lay under my bed upside down for approximately 1 3/4 days. What should I do now? Is it to late? Any chances all of it will still function? It is a HP Envy sleek touch book 15.6 pavilion also the touchpad works fine. It's also new bought around 1-3 months ago Please Help ITS Really IMPORTANT TO ME Thank you.
WATER AND LAPTOP KEYBOARDS DON't MIX?
Still might be a chance that the keyboard will work i spill coffee on mines took out the keyboard clean it real good let it dry out for a couple of days and it work again give it another day or so and see if the keyboard works again if don't then can get another one online i really think the usb ports just temp shorted out and might work again when the laptop is dried out
Anytime you spill liquid on a computer, pull the power immediately! This includes the battery if you can. Then let it dry for a min of 24 hours, turning the computer every few hours to ensure no water has pooled anywhere.
Also, some computer have water sensors in them to detect such spills and void your warranty. I know that Mac laptops have such a sensor.
Too late, i'm afraid.
Liquid and any electricity/electronics never mix. Simply blowing on it isn't going to do anything except move the liquid deeper and destroy the thing more. It needs to be taken apart and dried completely. There are no maybe's on this kind of thing.
Put it in w bag of dry rice
For your best chance to save your device…
1. Do not turn it on or try to charge
2. If possible, remove the battery
3. Contact http://www.tekdry.com/ - they have a patented process that will remove all of the water for sure - typically in about 30 minutes, without taking it apart. Best part is that you only pay if they are successful (your shipping cost may be at risk if you're not near their store). Best results are if received in the first three days and you haven't tried charging it for hours.
With rice or desiccant, it takes much longer (days) and you don't know if/when your device is dry. Each time you try to power it on to find out if it is dry, you do more damage to your device. Plus while your device sits in rice for days it continues to corrode and you get rice particles inside creating more issues.
Rice (or silica gels/desiccants) does absorb water, but only when in direct contact. Rice outside of your device will not draw water from within it. If the humidity is extremely high it is possible rice will draw some water from the air, however the humidity around your wet device is not going to get that high. So while popular to try, rice does not actually do anything to dry your device. You might think it did if your device turns on but there's likely still water inside that can continue to cause damage
