If Your Computer Gets Wet
CAUTION: Perform this procedure only after you are certain that
it is safe to do so. If the computer is connected to an electrical outlet,
Dell recommends that you turn off AC power at the circuit breaker
before attempting to remove the power cables from the electrical
outlet. Use the utmost caution when removing wet cables from a live
power source.
1 Turn off the computer (see page 20), disconnect the AC adapter from
the computer, and disconnect the AC adapter from the electrical outlet.
2 Turn off any attached peripherals and disconnect them from their
power sources and then from the computer.
3 Ground yourself by touching one of the metal connectors on the back
of the computer.
4 Remove the modular bay device (see page 52) and any installed PC
Cards (see page 56), and put them in a safe place to dry.
5 Remove the battery (see page 54).
6 Wipe off each battery and put them in a safe place to dry.
7 Remove the hard drive (see page 64).
8 Remove the memory modules (see page 62).
9 Open the display, and place the computer right-side up across two
books or similar props to let air circulate all around it. Let the computer
dry for at least 24 hours in a dry area at room temperature.
NOTICE: Do not use artificial means to speed up the drying process.
