Make sure that the battery is charged or the AC adapter is

airplane.
If you spill liquid on the internal keyboard or any external


devices (such as the floppy drive), drain as much of the liquid
as possible. Be careful not to let the liquid drip onto the LCD
panel. Allow the system to dry for several days before trying to
use it.
If you spill liquid on an external keyboard or keypad, unplug it


and drain as much of the liquid as possible. Allow the
keyboard to sit at room temperature for a full day before trying
to use it.
Sweet liquids leave a sticky residue that may
cause damage despite your efforts to dry.
