So... My laptop got wet from a water spill. However, it didn't come with contact with the keyboard. Will it be okay? Only the bottom part got wet! My roommate luckily saved it but he doesn't know how long it was there for. My laptop however wasn't wet from the keyboard, otherwise I knew it was over. However, if water made contact with the bottom part of the laptop, could it die? I checked the battery and it was barely wet. If not, wet at all... omg omg >_> btw i'm on it right now!  | ||

and yes, if it didn't actually get inside the laptop and mess up the electronic parts in there it should be ok. | ||

Because if this was my desk [ laptop mousepad water bottle ] [Bed] The mousepad was wet, so I can conclude nothing on the keyboard got wet unless the water like magically jumped. | ||

The best you can do is leave it off BUT keep it plugged in to charge. You could do that overnight, but really it seems like you're in the clear. I too think that I'm okay..but I'm going to keep it off whenever I don't really need it for the next three days I guess. But why should I keep it plugged in? | ||

If your laptop is already fucked up by a spill, you let it sit on its own for a few days and then you try it. If the entire thing actually gets fried (and you can't return it), you can let it sit with its charger for like weeks/months to help evaporate the last invisible bits of liquid and you might be able to bring it back to life. | ||

Basically, if you turn it on while its still wet, it may short circuit OR what happens with keyboards is that the circuitry starts "eroding" and crossing over. This happened to one of my desktop computers and I actually look apart the keyboard and all of the stuff was crossed over and pressing like the "c" button on my computer also made it hit the ctrl and windows button and other stuff like that. Not fun. | ||
