Recommended procedures when liquids are spilled onto the notebook or its keyboard

  1. Please turn off the notebook, remove the battery (for the models with removable battery), and unplug the AC adapter immediately.
  2. Dry the liquid off the laptop and keyboard with a clean paper towel.
  3. Move the laptop near a sink and tilt it by 90 degrees to pour the remaining liquid out of the notebook.
  4. Dry the notebook and keyboard again with a clean paper towel.
  5. Leave the notebook to dry for at least 24 hours.
    Note: NEVER use a hair dryer to dry the notebook as the heat could deform it.
  6. After the notebook has been properly dried, try turning it on. If the notebook turns on successfully, please backup all your important files as soon as possible.
  7. Even if the notebook seems to function normally, it is strongly recommended to contact your ASUS service center and arrange an inspection and maintenance to prevent any malfunction that could be caused by oxidation and corrosion.
