A small negligence can spoil your expensive device and can make the cost of repairing thousands of rupees. If your laptop is drenched in rain or water has fallen on it, then follow these important steps instead of panic.

1. Close laptop first
If the laptop is on and water is dropped on it, shutdown immediately. Milan of water and electricity can increase the risk of short circuit, causing severe damage to the motherboard or screen.

Put the laptop in a closed plastic bag and add rice or silica gel packet to it. It helps in absorbing moisture. Leave it like this for at least 48 hours.
