If you have spilt liquid on your device

We are located in Diamond Creek. If you have spilt liquid on your device and it has stopped working, there is a good chance we may be able to get it working again.

We provide our services to all nearby Nillumbik suburbs and surrounding.

If you spill liquid on your device, turn it off and don't attempt to turn it back on. It is best to get someone to look at it for you.

What to do

  • Turn power off: Hold the power button down for 10 seconds, possibly 20 seconds on some newer laptops until you see the lights turn off.
  • Unplug: Remove the charging cable and external plugged in devices from the laptop.
  • Laptop upside down in a V shape: Put the laptop upside down in a V shape so water at the bottom of the case or top can run down hopefully not contacting components

What not to do

  • Do not turn the laptop on
  • Dont trust Rice
  • Dont use hairdryer

Cleaning components

Depending what liquid, where the liquid was spilt and how long it has been like that will determine how the serious the problem is.

  • There's always a large chance of serious damage to your computer when liquid is spilt on it.
  • Cleaning the components thoroughly can help to get your device back up and running, if there is no serious damage.

If the problem is too serious we can provide the option of repair or replacement parts.

Rice will probably not work for soaking up liquids as it cant absorb the liquids and any corrosion underneath the components.
