| How to Save Your Tablet PC After a Spill |
It's a common tradition. We are all guilty at some time or another of having liquids or drinks next to our mobile computers. Although the unique marriage of coffee and a portable computer seem to be an inseparable pair (been to Starbucks recently?), there is some risk involved. Accidents certainly happen, and the results of a liquid meeting with the insides of a notebook or Tablet PC can be ugly!Assess the situation before taking action. Is the notebook or Tablet PC hooked up to AC power or running on battery? If the machine is running on battery power and is NOT connected to an AC outlet, your first line of defense in to swiftly shut the machine down. Be sure the device is not sitting in a puddle and the power switch area is dry. The quickest method to shut down is to hold the power button until the device powers off. Next remove the battery and place it off to the side.
If the machine is connected to an AC outlet, try to separate yourself from any contact with the liquid. Touch metal with one hand to ground yourself and quickly yank the plug from the AC outlet. Then follow the instructions above to remove the battery, etc. Surviving a "Near Death" Experience: How to Save Your Tablet PC After a Spill Linked by LT Hacker
