Hello there. I spilled a little bit of water over the number pad this morning. It wasn't over the whole keyboard.
I immediately turned it off and dried it with a cloth. I have turned it upside down. Should I do something else or just take it to a technician?

just water? nah don't need to talk to a tech.
if you have a hair dryer you could blow on the keyboard for a few minutes
and then just let it dry overnight
vapid ocean
i'd just leave it alone
if no hair dryer, maybe a space heater? or the sun (cover the screen)
or literally just let it sit overnight

Should I place it like a tent with the screen supporting it. Or should I keep it completely upside down?
Would keeping it like a tent cause the water to drip downwards towards the battery?

don't worry about it much
Should I try to turn it on now? Its been over 2 days.

is your laptop on yet?

Should I plug it in on the wall or plug the battery connectors in?
Should be same either way right?

plug everything in and use normally
Everything looks normal. They keys work fine too.

check all ports, sd card, camera switch, etc

Hope it doesn't break months from now.

The ports run fine.
I get a weird error saying all cameras are reserved. But that's probably a windows bug.

I can't use camera anywhere. The default camera app says the camera is being used elsewhere. The 'camera test' websites say camera is blocked. What could it be? If camera was fried wouldn't it say something like there is no camera installed?
Could also be because of some debloater app.

makes sense to me, sounds like a separate issue from the water
a bit annoying to debug, easiest method is probably booting a linux USB and checking the camera there

The speaker doesn't seem to be working either
Headphones work however.
welp

I'll try it once I'm free.

again, linux USB would confirm this too.
I have a virtual box with Ubuntu running. But I guess that wouldn't work.
vapid ocean
nope it has to be native, not a VM
