Since some accidents just can't be avoided and if you happen to spill any type of liquid on your laptop, this lens was written with you in mind. Don't panic just yet, there's a chance that you may be able to recover your laptop by acting quickly. Some laptop designs handle liquid spills better than others.

Warranty Coverage and Liquid Spills

type=textConsult your manual for proper cleaning procedure of your LCD screen. Does your laptop warranty cover liquid spills? If not, I suggest you to visit your local computer shop and explain what happened. They will completely clean the interior and tell you if anything needs to be replaced. Depending on the type of beverage such as soda, your laptop may require a new keyboard since sugar becomes very sticky when dry. If your laptop got soaked and the power was left on, it may cause damage to the system board. If this is the case, you may end up buying a new laptop. Once again, if you spill soda or coffee on your LCD display, consult your manual for proper cleaning procedure of your LCD screen.
