Liquid damage is time-sensitive. A phone, tablet or laptop can still turn on while corrosion is already starting inside. The safest approach is to stop using it and get it checked before charging or testing again.
Do now
- Turn the device off if it is still on.
- Disconnect charger, cable and accessories.
- Dry the outside gently with a cloth.
- Keep the device upright where possible.
- Bring it to TECHHELP quickly for inspection.
Do not do
- Do not charge it.
- Do not switch it on to test it.
- Do not use a hairdryer or heat.
- Do not put it in rice and wait.
- Do not ignore it because it still turns on.
