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.

1Turn off the computer (see page 24), disconnect the AC adapter from the computer, and then disconnect the AC adapter from the electrical outlet.

2Remove the battery.

3Wipe off the battery and put it in a safe place to dry.

4Turn off any attached external devices, and disconnect them from their power sources and then from the computer.

5Ground yourself by touching one of the metal connectors on the back of the computer.

6Remove the module bay device (see page 24) and any installed PC Cards, wipe them off, and put them in a safe place to dry.

7Remove the hard drive (see page 87).

8Remove the memory modules (see page 81).

9Open 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 24-48 hours in a dry area at room temperature.
