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!

    It’ll probably be ok if you let it dry out first. As others have said, rice doesn’t actually do anything beneficial, other than keep people from using their device for awhile.
