Water issue

[Quincey]

Just spilled water on the cables of some laptop power cables - they both work but I am not sure if there will be lasting damage. I also got a bit of water on the keyboard of one of the laptops - the keys seem to work but I am hoping there is no lasting damage. Any advice on how to ensure that no damage happens - I have dried the cables and keyboard.

Turn it off and put it somewhere warm. You really needed advice for that?

[Quincey]

Yes.

I'm talking about avoiding damage to the laptop power cable as well as the laptop itself by the way.

Cables are waterproof along the wire part. If you spilled water on the connector, all you need to do is make sure it's dry and doesn't corrode. Water only really fucks things up by conducting electricity through the impurities it contains. A cable is a very simple thing, and not really an "electronic" device, like a circuit that would short because of water causing connections between things that should never be connected.

Dry it good, live forever.

Pour white wine on it.
