I decided that I should design and run some tests to evaluate the performance of VAL against WAH so I was working on that today when I spilled coffee all over my computer. Needless to say today I was panicking a bit but managed to keep my cool. All of the code is backed up though and my computer seems to work perfectly fine so I'm not terribly concerned. But that was definitely the thrill of the day!
When you spill liquid into elecronics, you should immediately turn the device off and take out the batteries, then drain the device of as much liquid as you can manage, then leave it at least overnight (48 hours is better). Usually this combination of activities is sufficient to ensure that when you turn it back on you'll be fine.
ReplyDeleteIn more severe cases, it may be worth taking the device apart and wiping out the liquid with a dry cloth.
