| How To Save Your Laptop From A Glass Full Of Water |
I spilled an entire glass of water onto my laptop. This is my "text only" laptop, a Gateway 3018GZ. I've had it for 2 years. It has worked quite well for the purposes that I intended it to serve. I did try installing Pirates! on it once but the Intel graphics chipset couldn't handle it. But that's ok....The bottom third of the screen got some. The entire keyboard got a lot. Spilling liquid on a notebook has been known to result in critical failure (motherboard and other circuitry).Honestly I didn’t know what to do so I just did what seemed obvious. I flipped the notebook upside down with the hope that the water would drain out. I held it upside down for 10 minutes, several minutes after the last drop dripped. The keypad was still wet, but at least there were no puddles to drain down into the innards of the computer.
The next thing I did, still holding the laptop upside down, was to lay it keyboard down on my absorbent couch. The screen portion bent over the side of the couch like a pair of legs. Still on and functional, I wiggled the Gateway notebook around on the couch, hoping to get most of the moisture sopped up.
