The best thing to do with any electronics that have gotten wet is to remove any power source and allow it to dry thoroughly (letting it sit for several days in a dry area). The last thing you want to do is apply power to electronics that are wet, as it will most likely permanently damage them and cause failures (sometimes only intermittent).

I bet this one is pretty common! remove keyboard and gently wash or replace keyboard (reccommended) look on manufacturers site on how to remove keyboard.Do not put anything wet near you pc,,so dry (hairdryer) keyboard properly if you manage to de-semble it.

As for cleaning a laptop computer keybord, I would use a can for compressed air, q-tips, and soapy water. I would be careful about getting the laptop too wet as water can seep into the computer. Hope this helps!!

Let it dry first!i hope you took the battery out soon as it got wet because if water got to your motherboard you are in trouble!if its dry and it dont work replace it!look on the back of the keyboard and get the model or part number the type it on google!

if you took the phone apart and let it dry but its still acting funny you very likely fried the computer board inside the phone. If the phone was on when you dropped it in liquid you probably did. Also, the lemonade having sugar has likely caused corrosion inside the phone. you could clean the inside of the phone with alcohol and see about getting it to co-operate, but be careful and keep yourself grounded and leave the battery out when you clean. You might be s-o-l

Remove battery and power. Take apart as much as possible. wash any wet/sticky parts in de-ionised water (as used for topping up batteries), allow to thoroughly dry before re-assembling and powering up. Leave at least 24 hrs to dry.

Try not to get circuit board too wet, but if it does not work then you have nothing to lose!


Liquid on keyboard can be very difficult to fix as damp gets under the membrane - even if computer works the keyboard may not but you could always use USB keyboard.
If you have any Silica Gel packets, put notebook and all parts in a plastic bag with them to absorb all moisture (but make sure no powder gets into the components).

Good luck!

you can pull the keys out of their sockets and wipe the rubber and plastic holders with a wet cloth. but be very carefull to cloth should not leak, just be wet to dissolve and absorbe the sugar and other stuff that stick the keys. then just insert the keys in the sockets
