I recently dumped orange juice on my laptop keyboard while having breakfast. I put my laptop on the table the other way around and waited until the liquid came out. The touchpad didn't work anymore, I thought ok, but the keyboard is also completely gone and doesn't work what should I do?
Connect ne external keyboard and mouse and make a backup as soon as possible on ne external disk.
then you can look around for a new laptop.
Get a new laptop…
In the current one, everything is glued inside.
And never again have breakfast on your PC / laptop…
I let all the liquid flow out
Do you think in reality the stuff sticks everywhere.
Nevertheless, parts can still be damaged. When a city is flooded and the water goes away again, the broken houses won't be whole again.
If you have spilled liquid on your laptop, this rule always applies:
Switch off the computer immediately, do not shut it down slowly.
Disconnect the power supply unit
Remove the battery
Turn the notebook over, lay it flat on an absorbent surface and let the liquid run off. It is essential to avoid that liquid penetrates the display!
Then, if you have experience in handling electronic devices, disassemble the computer and examine exactly which parts have come into contact with the liquid.
Also remove the buffer battery.
If, as you probably did, if you just wait for everything to dry and then turn it on again, you are making a huge mistake because this is what happens:
The liquid (orange juice) contains problematic ingredients such as acids and salts, which can attack and even decompose the conductor tracks and connections of the electronic components on the mainboard even after drying.
As a rule, despite (superficial) drying, residual moisture that has penetrated under conductor tracks etc. Is still present and when the device is restarted, electrolysis accelerates its decomposition, which destroys the computer.
Experienced electronics technicians dismantle the device and rinse the parts that were exposed to the liquid with distilled water. Others swear by 97% isopropanol, and still others use mixtures of these liquids.
Normal tap water is not suitable because of the ingredients (minerals) and the formation of ions.
Then it has to be dried thoroughly, again using different methods.
Blow off with compressed air, but carefully so that no components are blown away.
Vacuum with a vacuum cleaner, but again very carefully so that nothing is vacuumed that is possibly only loosely attached
At 40 to a maximum of 50 ° C in the oven, be sure to check with a thermometer, set circulating air.
Place on a radiator
There are even users who pour a layer of rice on the board so that residual moisture is absorbed
Be very careful with all methods, find out what experiences users have had on the relevant pages. Please read everything carefully, because there are contradicting instructions and you have to decide which way is feasible for you, how you remove the liquid residues, how you rinse so that no residues remain (if at all) and how you (as gently as possible) the parts dry.
