What to do if you Spill Liquid on the Computer
The keyboard incorporates a drainage system that minimizes the chances of liquid spillages on the keyboard penetrating
the inside components of the computer. Liquid spilled on the computer is drained towards the right side of the computer.
There is no guarantee that all water can be prevented from entering the computer, and damage resulting from spillages
is not covered in the warranty. However if you follow the steps outlined here you should be able to prevent water from
entering the sensitive parts of the computer and causing damage.
1. If you spill liquid on the computer immediately save any data required and then shut the computer down and disconnect the AC/DC
adapter.
2. Carefully lift the computer up and tilt it to a 90 degree angle towards the right side (i.e. that right side of the computer should be at
the bottom to allow the water to drain away from the right side and not the left).
3. Move the computer to a dry place and wipe any liquid off the keyboard and bottom of the computer using a clean, soft, dry cloth.
4. Remove the battery.
5. Leave the computer resting on its right side (while placed on a clean, soft, dry cloth) to dry out for about three hours.
6. Contact your service center to have the computer examined for any problems, but do not attempt to turn the computer back on
again until after it has been examined.
