Computer water damage repair service is the process of diagnosing, cleaning and restoring computer devices with water damage from accidental liquid spills, exposure to rain and accidental drop into a body of water. 

Immediate Steps To Take When Water Spilled On Your Computer  

• Power off the device

Do power off your computer, iPad or tablet immediately after contact with water to improve the chances of a successful repair and to avoid the risk of a short-circuit and permanent damage to your computer. 

• Wipe away the water from your computer 

Once your laptop is turned off, gently dab using an absorbent, lint-free cloth or tissue to prevent water from seeping in and causing internal corrosion in the ports or gaps.

• Unplug the power source

If your laptop was charging at the time of the water spill, make sure to unplug it from the wall socket immediately. 

• Remove computer accessories

After the device is turned off and unplugged, remove USB drives, SD cards, headphones, battery and other external devices from it. This ensures the drying process is more effective and helps technicians inspect every part individually when repairs begin. 

• Do not try to turn it on

Do not attempt to turn on your computer even though the surface appears dry. This is because tiny moisture particles in the laptop may cause it to short circuit when it is turned on. 

• Do not use a direct heat source 

Avoid using intense heat sources like a hairdryer on hot mode or placing the device under direct sunlight. It is not safe for your computer because excessive heat can warp plastic casing, melt internal adhesives or damage the internal circuit further. 

• Don’t put your laptop in rice

While putting your computer in some rice may absorb moisture, some fine particles may enter your computer’s ports, speakers, and ventilation areas, hence we don’t recommend that you do so. These particles can cause clogging, scratches or attract more moisture in the future. 

• Place it in a well-ventilated space

Once all accessories are removed and the surface is dry, place the computer in a room, facing a fan that gently blows air to your computer and helps moisture to evaporate from it. 

• Turn computer upside down and place on towel to dry

You can place your computer upside down in an inverted “V” or tent position on a soft towel for a safe drying angle for at least 24 to 48 hours.

• Bring it to our repair technician ASAP

It is crucial to bring your computer to a professional repair technician quickly to safely dismantle your computer for diagnosis. Also, the sooner the device is assessed for damage or corrosion, the higher the chances of full recovery that may ensure no long-term issues goes unnoticed.

Symptoms Your Computer Has Water or Liquid Damage 

• Flickering or blank screen

Flickering or blank screens is a common symptom because moisture can interfere with the display connectors, backlight or graphic components. A flickering screen may be a minor glitch but often worsens over time if not addressed.

• Keyboard or trackpad malfunctioning

If certain keys on your keyboard become unresponsive or the trackpad behaves erratically, this could be a result of liquid seeping underneath the keyboard, shorting out specific keys or disrupting the trackpad’s sensor. 

• Overheating or unusual sounds

Water exposure can compromise the computer’s internal cooling system or fan mechanism which may lead to overheating. These unusual buzzing, cracking or grinding sounds may indicate that moisture has reached the internal moving parts or the speaker system and often pose a risk of short-circuit or internal damage to the computer hard drive.  

• Corrosion

Upon close inspection, if there is visible green or white corrosion residue around ports or hinges, it is a sign to bring your computer to the computer repair shop immediately.

• Computer not charging

If your laptop no longer charges properly, shuts down unexpectedly or only works when plugged in, water may have compromised the battery cell or the charging cable connection. 

• Damaged hard drive

Symptoms that you may have a damaged computer hard disk may include slow system performance, frequent freezing, clicking noises from the hard drive or failure to boot up entirely. Data loss or corruption can occur quickly if moisture interferes with the drive’s moving parts. 

• Cannot connect or intermittent Wifi connection

If your computer suddenly struggles to maintain a stable Wi-Fi connection or is unable to detect available networks, water damage could be the culprit. Liquid may have affected the internal wireless card or its antenna which then disrupts the signal.

Tips to Avoid Laptop Water Damage 

• Put lid on drinks and don’t leave them unattended

Put your drinks away from the computer especially if small children are around because accidental spills is one of the common causes of liquid damage. Keep your drinks sealed using spill-proof caps and place them at a safe distance from your computer to reduce the risk of a messy accident that could lead to expensive repairs or data loss.

• Use protective computer covering

Protective laptop sleeves, cases or keyboard covers can help minimise the amount of liquid that reaches the computer internal components when there is an accidental liquid spill incident.

All things considered, computer water damage can be an expensive fix if not handled correctly but with the right steps by a professional computer technician, recovery is possible.
