Some people may be surprised by the spillage of water and other liquids on computers, and the need for means to prevent damage to the device and dry it to function normally again.
And if you have a removable battery, remove it immediately, then press the power button until your device shuts down. And follow the following steps, according to the Digital Trends website:
1- Easily remove all removable components. Disconnect the mouse and any cables, and remove any hard drives and DVD discs.
2- Dry the outside of your device. Open your laptop as often as you can, hold it upside down to allow any buildup of liquid to drain, and use an absorbent towel or cloth to wipe wet surfaces until it dries. Do not attempt to dry the computer with forced hot air from a heat gun or hair dryer.
3- At this stage, we recommend that you take advantage of the warranty if it is still valid or take your device to a repair shop. If your brand has a dedicated repair shop like Apple, call them right away or find local repair shops that specialize in the brand of laptop.
4- The type of liquid spilled is important, water is the least acidic, while sugary and alcoholic liquids are more conductive and more corrosive, and can quickly cause permanent damage. Either way, the goal is to mitigate the effects of these fluids as much as possible, by draining the computer off immediately.
