New solutions to save the Dell Inspiron keyboard when it is watered

Well, even if you know better than anyone, he made a sudden movement and a big glass of Coca-Cola Light gave all his portable keyboard! Damn! That's a bad day, righ? Everyone knows that the spill soda, coffee or beer all over your laptop can kill! Or at least some serious damage or loss of data! But many of us like to have a "T" or a cafe near his hand while sitting on the laptop or notebook computer through writing something. It's too dangerous, because most of the time we have the eyes to the laptop, then when we want a drink, our hand can not reach the top right all the time. So the best way to keep your laptop or keyboard of fluids to keep your laptop ... away from liquids. With a cup of coffee near your computer is not a good thing, even as I write this I keep the coffee cup right between me and the keyboard.

But if the fact liqulid spilled on your keyboard Dell Inspiron E1505, there are some ways to avoid damages. However, depends largely on the laptop you have, since some laptops are more vulnerable to damage from a stroke on the keyboard than others. It is not a vulnerability related to the price. Only some laptop keyboards have a thin rubber membrane beneath the keys that will help in these situations. To find out what type of laptop you have, remove the cover of a key and see for yourself. When shopping, ask the guy at the store, he will know for sure if a particular laptop has a membrane or not.

First, if connected, disconnected it! Quick! You do not want a combination of electrical circuits with the fluid on the right?

So if your laptop is running on battery power, turn off.If seems to run normally, without smell or you see sparks or anything else, shut it down normally. But do it fast. Otherwise, if you smoke or if you notice any unusual behavior, remove the battery as soon as possible or off using the off button.

Ground yourself by touching a metal part of an object off the ground.
Note: the metal to reach the earth.

Unplug all USB, serial (or any other port) devices that can connect to your laptop connected Remove wet hard drives, CD / DVD, remove the memory modules.

After that, see the technical book on your laptop to see how to handle cleaning the keyboard (by removing the top of each key and clean it separately.)

Place the laptop on an upper surface, in some books, only to have the laptop playing a smaller area as possible to allow the liquid to dry.

Allow the display open and never reassemble the laptop until everything is completely dry. To do this, leave the laptop at an air flow for at least 1 full day.

If something does not seem right after reassembling the laptop, I suggest you go to a laptop repair shop to ask for technical analysis of a specialist.
