CRITICAL: What To Do IMMEDIATELY After Liquid Spill
Time is critical! Follow these steps RIGHT NOW:
Step 1: POWER OFF IMMEDIATELY (Within 5 Seconds!)
- DO NOT try to save your work
- DO NOT shut down normally
- Hold the power button until laptop turns off completely
- Every second with power on causes more damage!
Step 2: UNPLUG Everything
- Remove power adapter cable
- Remove ALL USB devices, external drives, mice
- If battery is removable, take it out IMMEDIATELY
- Remove any connected peripherals
Step 3: Position Laptop to Drain
- Turn laptop upside down in a tent/inverted V position
- This prevents liquid from seeping deeper into motherboard
- Place on absorbent towel
- Keep it upside down until you reach us!
Step 4: DO NOT Do These Things!
- ❌ DON’T use a hair dryer – heat causes more damage
- ❌ DON’T put in rice – this doesn’t work and wastes time
- ❌ DON’T try to turn it on – “testing” causes short circuits

Frequently Asked Questions
Should I put my wet laptop in rice?
NO! This is a myth. Rice doesn’t absorb moisture fast enough and wastes critical time. Bring your laptop to us immediately instead. Every hour counts in water damage recovery!
Can I use a hair dryer to dry my laptop?
Absolutely NOT! Heat causes more damage by melting plastic components and accelerating corrosion.
My laptop works fine after spill. Do I still need repair?
YES! Just because it works now doesn’t mean it’s safe. Corrosion develops over days and weeks. Bring it for inspection to prevent future failure.
How much does water damage repair cost?
Costs range from $80-$300 depending on damage severity. Assessment is always FREE.
Can you recover my data if laptop is dead?
Yes! Even if the laptop is completely destroyed, we can usually recover data from the hard drive or SSD. Our data recovery success rate is 95%+.
Can a laptop be repaired after water damage?
Often, yes. What decides it is how fast the laptop is switched off and cleaned. Brought in within a few hours, most spill-damaged laptops can be saved, and the odds fall with every day that corrosion is left to spread. Even when the laptop itself cannot be saved, the data on the drive usually can.
What should I do if I spill water on my laptop?
Switch it off at once by holding the power button, then unplug the charger and everything connected to it. Turn the laptop upside down in a tent shape on a towel so the liquid drains away from the motherboard. Do not use rice or a hair dryer, and do not switch it on to test it. Then bring it in for cleaning, ideally within 2 to 4 hours.
How long does a water-damaged laptop take to dry?
Left on its own, a laptop needs at least 24 to 48 hours to dry, and liquid trapped under chips and connectors can stay longer. Drying is not the same as fixing, though. The minerals and sugar left behind keep corroding the board after the water has gone, which is why a laptop that seems fine can fail weeks later. Opening it up and cleaning the board is what stops that.
Is water damage covered by laptop warranty?
Usually not. Standard manufacturer warranties cover defects and exclude liquid damage, and most laptops have liquid contact indicators inside that show a spill has happened. Cover normally comes from an accidental damage protection plan bought with the laptop, or from some home contents and travel insurance policies. Check your plan before paying for a repair. Our assessment is free either way.
