      DoctorNoob hey, I spilled like 20 ml of yogurt on the F5 part, but my laptop is advertised as with a spill proof keyboard, I think 70% of the yogurt went in, I didn't react quickly, maybe 1 minute till I flipped it upside down, I turned it off now, and left it with a dryer facing to the keyboard, I will wake it up in 48 hours, should I be worried? thanks

    I think i found a much safer solution: for all the sticky keys, just spill small amounts of rubbing alcohol over the button and click on it a few times. do this individually for *all* buttons that are sticky (and leave the functional buttons alone), and wait 5 minutes. now most of the buttons should be ok! for the buttons that are still sticky, just repeat the process. this worked great for my HP Elite Dragonfly laptop! on first round it fixed almost all buttons, after the 2nd round only the R button was still sticky, and after a 3rd round for the R button alone, all buttons are now working great!

      Laptop should be okay you may want to try and replace the keyboard. Hopefully the soda did not get to the mainboard or the hard drive as it can potentially corrode it over time so back your data up. You might also want to attempt to clean the keyboard with anti static WD40 for electronics.

      @midnightaustin9287 3 роки тому +2

      actually if you spill sticky fluids into your keyboard or laptop, remove the battery and rinse it with lukewarm water can increase the possibility to repair it, or better use alcohol that are made to spray into electronics, the thing that breaks electronic is when you first spill it jolt something inside, but if it doesn't jolt anything unplug it fast and basically just rinse it with distilled water and use a blower blow it hard and let it dry for at least 24 hours put a fan constantly infront of it.

    I just spilt a little bit of Coca Cola in the middle of my keyboard. I acted fast, picking it up and turning it upside down so the liquid would drip out. I then carefully wiped it down with a paper towel and put it in front of a small, portable fan. This was 10 minutes ago. My keyboard is working fine and my laptop is working the same as it did before I spilt it. It also never turned off or made any sounds during any of this.
    I hope it is okay.

      @@TheThorns hi, thankyoufor your reply!
      its very easy to avoid, melting its completely risk-free if it is an oven without an internal fan. but you should of course, since the product is valuable, watch the process closely to make sure the temp is alright(and inform other family members not to disturb the settings)
      there is also a risk connected to the "rice bag method" that i see as much higher than the oven method, see below for expl.
      the products, phones pads, etc are made to withstand pretty high temperatures to make it possible for them to survive being left in the sun for a period of time (with the screen away from the sun) I have heard figures like 80 degrees Celcius being the standard testing temp during engineering. but i use a much lower temperature.
      if the oven has a fan test how the oven behaves first, test the temperature inside and the setup of open oven front before using it in a sharp situation,
      "rice bag solution" increases the risk of destroying the phone, etc, through corrosion, and swelling of plastic composites and paper materials inside the product etc

I unplugged everything (mouse, headphones, charger), grabbed a towel and dried the outside, held it sideways so most of the water could come out, and now i have it at a 30 degree angle above a towel and now i'm gonna wait like 1-2 days before i even attempt to turn it back on.
    When i spilled the hot tea, my laptop shut off immediatly. I think its because the tea was so hot that it recognized it was overheating and shut off immediatly (at least i hope thats what it was lol). It was quite alot of tea, and i hope it still works!

    This morning I turned it on and I'm thinking it was too soon as it immediately turned back off.
    I then took the back panel off and dried it out as much as I could and it will still not turn back on.
    What would you suggest?
    Wait awhile longer maybe?
    Or do you think I probably fried it by turning it on too soon?

    Whats the chances with the new laptops that u can't access the battery. And I quickly turned it upside down, wiped off what i could. Sprayed with a spray bottle 9f water to remove what may have seeped in. Its now drying upside down with some silca packs I seran wrapped to it. Do the new laptops hv a buffer between data/mother board and keyboard. My son threw something and spilled my coffee...grrr i just bought the laptop 2 months ago. Whats the chances of it being ok? Your thoughts? BTW it was upside down when i sprayed water on it. And I caught it within seconds of coffee spillage. I dripped coffee along the floor as I took it to the sink. I rather try and save what I can i have a lot of data on it (floor can be wipes)

    • @TheThorns
      @TheThorns  2 роки тому

      Since its been w months how did this turn out? since it was upside down I would have skipped the silca packs and just create some air flow with a fan, unless you live somewhere really humid. The good news is if m.2 or 2.5 ssd there is a good chance your data can be saved even if the laptop is dead. If the laptop is still not functional Take it somewhere to have the drive removed. If the laptop still works I would still backup the data just in case corrosion occurs in the coming months.

      just make sure it is off and you wait at least 72 hours. This will greatly increase your chances. If it does turn back on immediately backup any data you need, photos docs etc. . Even if it turns on and appears to be working fine there is still a chance for corrosion to occur, hence the "better back it up"

      It is always a 50/50 shot when you have a spill. Might have to get it replaced. If you have some knowledge of disassembly I would just buy a compatible generic off amazon or Ebay.

    So I accidentally spilled a bit of coffee on the keyboard of my laptop. The thing is that I cannot remove the battery since it doesn’t have easy access to be removed.
    I’m laying it down on a towel for 24 hours do you think that would work?
    Do you recommend taking it to geek squad or someone who can check it up if it’s OK?

    • @TheThorns

      if after the 72 hours it seems okay you should be fine. however if you have the funds I always recommend getting the keyboard professionally cleaned or out right replaced. any non distilled liquid can be corrosive the the electronics.

Also, on the sides of the laptop there will be most likely a fan, and if fanta goes through that fan the motherboard and any other components will probably go berserk, or probably just... Get ruined. Just check if the battery and motherboard are okay. If you don't know how to check, then just ask your parents to help you. They probably know some stuff. Plan 2 is to take it to a laptop/pc expert.

      if you rinse make sure you remove the hard drive. If you can not remove the hard drive I would just wait the 72 hours to see if it still turns on. Much cheaper to replace the keyboard rather than the whole machine. If you have accidental damage on your warranty you might be able to get it replaced for free. Please note: the 72 hours starts after the spill or rinse.
