Spilt water on 15-bs212wm

I spilt water on my laptop, it doesn’t seem to be completely damaged (turns on and charges) but it turns on and turns off a little after. What can I do to ensure that It’ll be okay?

Hi,

First you need to let it dry for 24 hours and not switch it on. If it has a removable battery, remove the battery and remove the ac adapter.

Let me know,

As you were already told -- Turn the laptop OFF -- and do NOT turn it back ON!!

Spilling liquid on a laptop is the second-most damaging thing you can do to it (first is dropping it on a hard floor).

Here are some tips on dealing with liquid damage: http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/you-just-spilled-water-or-coffee-on-your-laptop-heres-what-you-should-d...

However ... it's most likely that SOME damage was done, regardless of how quickly you turned off the laptop and what you did afterward. The key problems are only the surface and almost certainly, more damage was done than that.

The ONLY way to know for sure is to take or send it to an HP Service Center and pay a LOT of money for them to run full diagnostics on it, and after that, to disassemble it to repair or replace any damaged components.

And, if the motherboard is damaged, the cost of repair can easily exceed the cost of replacing the laptop -- because (as far as I know) liquid spill damage is NOT covered under the warranty.
