Have you ever spilled liquid on your laptop and felt your heart sink? Don’t worry, all hope is not lost, but time is of the essence. Follow these steps to prevent a small spill from turning into a major disaster.
Here’s what you need to do if you accidentally spill water or other liquids on your laptop:
5 Things to Do When You’ve Slipped Water on Your Laptop
1. Turn off your laptop immediately
If liquid is spilled on the keyboard or screen, turn off the laptop immediately to prevent further damage. Unplug the device and press and hold the power button for at least 5 seconds until it shuts off completely.
Do not wait until the laptop is wet before turning it off, as continuing to turn on the laptop while it is wet may cause a short circuit or other serious damage. If you or your clothes get wet, be careful not to unplug your laptop directly from the wall, as this could result in an electric shock. Instead, locate the outlet switch or circuit breaker and turn it off.
2. Remove the Battery
Once your laptop is off, try to remove the battery by following these steps:Turn over your laptop and locate the battery latch.
Slide the latch switch to the opposite side and hold it open until the battery is released.
If the battery is wet, it may be damaged and no longer safe to use. Replace it immediately.
Note that some laptop models may require unscrewing the backplate to access the battery. If this is the case, seek expert help.
3. Remove all Plugged-in Devices
Unplug any USB drives, dongles, or accessories such as a mouse or charger from your laptop.
4. Dry and Drain your Laptop

Turn your laptop upside down and place it on a towel or microfiber cloth to let the liquid drain out.
Allow at least 24 hours for your laptop to air dry completely for best results.
