I spilt some water on my deck earlier today. Mainly on the screen and touch pad and joystick. I’m a little worried some may have gotten into the vent on top. I dried it off ASAP. I powered it off and stuck it in some rice.
The screen didn’t glitch or anything which I think is a good sign. Anyone want to guess how screwed is my deck?
Edit: Thank you all for the advice! I took it out of the rice before I left for the day. I’m going to open it up tomorrow and see if there is any visible wetness and then maybe try turning it on. I hope y’all had a good day!
Leave it off for a few days and stick it near a dehumidifier if you have one. As long as it stays off until it’s completely dry it should be okay.
Agree with the other commenter that rice isn’t the best bet. Even if nothing ‘bad’ happens, it can get stuck in the heat sink and/or get moldy if you don’t get it all out.
If you’re really worried, you could take the shell off the deck off and dry the inside.
