How to play life guard and save your laptop from drowning

It doesn't matter how it happened or why or who's fault. All that matters is you act as quickly as possible.

As soon as the liquid is dropped onto the computer turn of the computer by pressing the off button. Assuming you weren't the one who spilled it ignore the perpetrator. Quickly unplug it if it wasn't already and flip it so it rests like a tent with keyboard and screen facing down. Quickly grab some kitchen roll and cleans away the liquid that comes out of the keyboard. If you have a blowdrier grab it and blow the keyboard, be sure to put the temperature to the lowest but the blown on it's highest. Remember to blow the back of the laptop where the battery is as well. Do this until you are sure it's dry, leave it to rest for a few minute then turn it back the right way and hope it will turn on.
