1 Choose a protective case

One of the easiest and most obvious ways to prevent liquid damage is to use a protective case for your computer or tablet. A case can shield your device from accidental spills, splashes, and drops, as well as dust, dirt, and scratches. There are many types of cases available, from simple sleeves and covers to waterproof and shockproof ones. Choose a case that fits your device snugly and offers adequate protection for your needs. Remember to clean your case regularly and check for any cracks or holes that might let moisture in.

For laptops and computers, there are limited options when it comes to protective cases that can prevent some water damage and they are less universal if comparing to ipads. However for the tablet space there are currently solutions on the market that may or may not prevent water damage. When looking for a case for example an iPad, you can't just pick any random case and call it a day as some cases may offer partial protection against water damage. A good starting point would be searching waterproof cases on amazon and looking for a case that covers the body and screen of the ipad. However, even though a case may prevent some water-damage it may not prevent all and depends on the brand and specs of the case.

I always have cases on my phone and ipad as I'm good at dropping them. Including down the toilet! The parts that cover usb and charging port holes is particularly useful.

A simple and reliable way to avoid liquid damage to your electronic devices is to avoid placing your devices near liquid. Prevent damage, replacement, or repair by keeping your workspace free of all liquids.

2 Avoid risky situations

Another way to prevent liquid damage is to avoid exposing your computer or tablet to risky situations where moisture might occur. For example, don't use your device near water sources, such as sinks, bathtubs, pools, or fountains. Don't leave your device in hot or humid places, such as cars, bathrooms, or kitchens. Don't drink or eat near your device, and keep it away from children and pets who might knock over liquids. If you have to use your device in a potentially wet environment, make sure to keep it away from direct contact with water and use a waterproof bag or container.

Practice good habits such as not drinking any liquids near computer systems. Do not take your electronic device out during a rainstorm. Usually by following good cautionary habits, I believe you can prevent most liquid damage situations.

3 Be prepared for emergencies

If your computer or tablet gets wet, it’s important to act quickly and correctly to minimize the damage and increase the chances of recovery. Immediately turn off the device and unplug it from any power source. Don’t try to turn it on or charge it until it’s completely dry. Remove the battery and any external accessories, such as USB drives or memory cards. Use a soft cloth or paper towel to gently wipe off any visible moisture. Avoid using a hair dryer, heater, or fan, as they can cause more damage. Place your device in a dry and well-ventilated place and use a desiccant, such as silica gel packets, to absorb the moisture. Do not use salt, sugar, or coffee, as they may corrode your device. Wait at least 48 hours before trying to turn on your device again. If it doesn’t work, take it to a professional computer repair service right away.

4 Maintain your device regularly

The last way to prevent liquid damage is to maintain your device regularly and check for any signs of moisture or corrosion. You can use a soft cloth or a microfiber cloth to clean the exterior of your device and remove any dust or dirt. You can also use a compressed air can or a soft brush to clean the ports, vents, and keyboards. If you notice any rust, discoloration, or swelling on your device, take it to a computer repair service for inspection and repair. Don't try to open your device yourself, as you might void the warranty or cause more damage.

By following these tips and best practices, you can prevent liquid damage and extend the lifespan of your computer or tablet. Liquid damage is not always fatal, but it can be expensive and inconvenient to fix. Therefore, it's better to be safe than sorry and take good care of your device.

I recommend using a microfiber cloth if possible for cleaning your device, a wet paper towel may have paper particle residue that is annoying to clean up. A microfiber cloth doesn't have any residue when cleaning up.

User What are the best ways to prevent liquid damage in your computer or tablet? ChatGPT Liquid damage is a nightmare for electronics! To keep your devices dry and happy, consider these tips: Use a spill-resistant keyboard cover: These thin, silicone covers can protect your laptop's keyboard from liquid spills. They're easy to clean and don't interfere with typing. Keep drinks away: It might sound obvious, but accidents happen. Make a habit of keeping drinks and liquids away from your computer or tablet. A safe distance can make all the difference. Use a sealed water bottle: If you must have a drink nearby, consider using a sealed water bottle with a straw. This minimizes the risk of accidental spills. Invest in a waterproof case.
