What happens in the first hour matters more than anything we do later.
Hold the power button until it’s off and unplug the charger. Don’t turn it back on to check.
Open it like a tent, keyboard facing down, so the liquid drains away from the board.
Rice doesn’t pull liquid out of a laptop. It just costs you days while corrosion spreads.
Heat can push liquid further in and warp parts. Let us open it up instead.
Corrosion keeps working after the laptop dries. Sugary and acidic drinks are the worst.

Often, yes, especially if it was turned off fast and brought in quickly. Water is easier than coffee or soda, because sugar and acid speed up corrosion. We can’t promise every laptop comes back, but the diagnostic tells you honestly whether it’s worth fixing.
If you can, yes. Liquid can sit under the keyboard and corrode the board over days or weeks. A cleaning now costs a lot less than a board later.
No. Rice doesn’t reach the inside of a laptop, and the days you spend waiting are days the corrosion keeps going. Shut it off, tent it keyboard-down, and bring it in. More in our guide: Spilled water on your laptop?
We take it apart, find where the liquid went, clean the corrosion off the board and test every part. Anything that didn’t survive, often the keyboard, sometimes the board or screen, goes on the written quote before we replace it.
Usually not. The drive often survives even when the laptop doesn’t. Tell us at drop-off if the files are what matter, and we’ll focus on getting them off first.
Yes. Same process: teardown, cleaning, testing, and a written quote before any parts are replaced. See MacBook repair.
