What should I do if the laptop is flooded?
In order to enhance the heat dissipation performance of the product and increase the friction coefficient between the notebook and the desktop, most notebooks will have a certain height of anti-skid pad on the bottom design of the product. If the desktop around the notebook is accidentally covered with water, it will generally not cause damage to the notebook. Just lift the notebook in time to prevent the water on the desktop from touching the cooling hole at the bottom of the notebook. The main "water inlet channel" of notebook is the keyboard area, which is also the sensitive part that is most likely to cause hardware damage. In order to avoid or reduce the damage caused by keyboard water, many notebook manufacturers have designed keyboard drainage holes for their high-end products, or added waterproof films at the bottom of the keyboard. However, the structure of the notebook computer is exquisite and compact. Below the keyboard is the core circuit part of the computer. Once water seeps into the keyboard, the consequences are even more unpredictable. No matter what preventive measures are taken, the damage of keyboard water to notebook hardware cannot be avoided 100%. So, even if your notebook has a certain waterproof design, don't be careless. Once the notebook keyboard accidentally enters the water, it must be handled in the following ways. Step 1: Turn off the power in time. If the notebook accidentally gets water, you must turn the machine over at the first time to prevent the liquid from flowing from the keyboard into the motherboard, and cut off the power supply and turn it off. It is worth noting that the shutdown mentioned here refers to unplugging the power plug and forcibly taking out the battery. At this time, don't choose the shutdown item through the start menu of the operating system, and it is not advisable to press the power button to shut down. If you can't turn off the power immediately after the notebook is flooded, it is likely that the motherboard will be short-circuited due to power-on. Step 2: Turn the battery upside down. After removing the battery for the first time, open the notebook screen to the maximum angle, then put the notebook upside down on the desktop, drain the accumulated water in the notebook through the gap of the keyboard as much as possible, and then suck the water taken away by the notebook through dry cloth or toilet paper with high water absorption coefficient. Step 3: Wait for the water inside the notebook to drain to the maximum extent, and then wait for it to dry in the shade. This is a long process. At this time, it is best to put the notebook in a well-ventilated place for at least 1 day, and never turn it on when it is turned on. Of course, we can also use the cold air file of the hair dryer to assist, and be careful not to use hot air, because many components or plastic parts inside the notebook will have problems after overheating. If you have a certain understanding of the hardware structure of the notebook, you can remove the baffle and keyboard on the back of the notebook and the memory hard disk when drying in the shade, which can better ventilate the notebook and speed up the drying in the shade. It should be noted that when removing notebook hardware, metal or electronic devices such as watches, rings and bracelets should be unplugged to avoid electrostatic damage to notebook accessories. Users with strong hands-on ability can also dig out all the keys on the keyboard and check them carefully. If you are sure that the liquid has not leaked into the computer, dry it with distilled water or tap water. For drinks, such as Coca-Cola, these drinks will leave sticky sugar after evaporation, so you need to wipe them with low-concentration alcohol. Pay attention to every corner when wiping, especially the rubber pad. Step 4: Send the notebook for repair in time. If you don't know the hardware structure of the notebook and the notebook is still under warranty, please take it to the official maintenance center as soon as possible. Of course, this premise is that you have turned off the power in time, taken out the battery and emptied the water inside the notebook. Generally speaking, the notebook water is not within the scope of free maintenance, so the maintenance center may charge a part of the fee. Compare the value of the notebook itself with the internal data, or advise you not to be stingy. Sequela of notebook flooding: keyboard failure: the ultra-thin keyboard used in notebook computers has small key contacts coated with conductive adhesive, which will trigger an electric pulse every time it is pressed. If the key contact leaks, the conductive adhesive dissolves and the key naturally fails. In addition, the circuit integration of notebook computer keyboard is very high, and the maintenance needs very professional equipment. Frequent blue screen of death: It is likely that some components in the notebook are oxidized by liquid. Although it can be turned on, it is extremely unstable and needs to be handled by the maintenance center.
