myths

When fixing a wet computer, it’s crucial to avoid common mistakes and myths to prevent further damage. The key steps include powering off the device immediately, unplugging all cables and peripherals, removing the battery (if possible), and allowing the device to dry completely before attempting to turn it back on. Avoid using heat sources like hair dryers, as they can cause more harm. Instead, air drying in a warm, dry location for at least 48 hours is recommended. It’s also important to avoid myths like using rice or silica gel packets, as they may not effectively absorb moisture.
