only had it a few months and I just spilt tea on it this afternoon. Gutted isn't the word! The power went as well, so I'm thinking something fused/shorted somewhere.
Blotted up where I could, have taken a cover off the back that seems to cover the hard drive and it is up on its edge. Do I leave it like that for a few days and hope for the best? Have no contents insurance either

How does making a risotto out of it help............?lloydie wrote:Remove the battery and Berry it in rice .
Seriously though, not a bad idea as the rice will draw any moisture out. Not sure it will help the circuit board inside the computer itself though
Fingers crossed for when you try to power it back up though.

Use a hair dryer on it:?

Spit it down as far as possible and put it all in a bag of rice...it works great at drawing out moisture

Best thing you can do is get a plastic tub, fill it with mineral oil and put the laptop in, take the hard drive out unless it's a SSD one and take the dvd drive if it's removeabe leave it to soak overnight move it about a bit too help displace water and turn it on in the oil

Re: spilt tea on laptop
It can be fixed!
Great service from John Lewis - got a call, email with pics of damaged bits, and 168 notes to bring back to life as new. Needs new main board, some other board and another part. Well chuffed, and relieved
