Hello @Amith132 

The keyboard itself is a sealed unit. I doubt any water seeped into the laptop itself.

If you spill a lot of water, you could be in trouble if it goes around the edges and gets into the actual body. If this happens and the laptop is off, don't turn it on. The water must be dried out completely before any electricity flows or it will short circuit the board.

Sounds like you are OK though.

But the laptop seem to work fine. Actually it was less than half a tea spoon lemon water. I wiped majority of it by cotton. And I sucked it by mouth as possible. I still have fear

Yes, read my reply above again. 😉

how long will it take to short cicuit

You are completely misunderstanding my post.

I said you should be OK considering YOU said it was less than a teaspoon and didn't go into the edge of the keyboard.

the water was actually less than a tea spoon and soon I wiped it with cotton. but I am saying what if it has gone? in that case how can I find it out.

[Photoray002]

The keyboard is sealed. The small amount wouldn't have seeped into the inside of the laptop.

If you wanted to tear it apart and look, that's up to you. But you didn't say what the product number is, so I don't know what manual to give you for the instructions.

Its located in the HP Support Assistant.

I'll try this one more time.

Go to the HP Support Assistant and run it. Find the Product number of your laptop and post it here.
