So I slept rounda a mates and brought my pc we disided to sleep in a tent I woke up this morning and there was a load of condensation all over my pc and there is water inside what do I do

[manikyath]

DO NOT plug it in

 

let it air out for a good week or two, probably take it apart (and take out the bios battery to be sure) to let it air out better.

 

and next time dont put your pc in a tent.

Let it dry out and leave it until all of the water is gone before turning it back on. Completely unplug everything and remove what parts you can to give it a better chance to dry

Your fucked man, sorry

 

Try to check and see if any of your parts are still returnable, else you'll have to be REALLY lucky to get it to work D:

ur not screwed, just disassamble and let dry

I assume its a laptop, if so then unlpug the main battery(if possible) and let it dry out. Don't power it on, plug it in to charge it, etc.

It not tha bad I started to take it appart and it's just a bit of condensation

If you put it in a bag of rice, the rice will draw out the moisture. It'll take a week or so but likely save it. Unless it was on or in standby mode while moisture made short circuits in unlucky places. After it dries, you should wash off any oxidation with isopropyl alcohol.

rice will cause corrosion.

Take it apart as much as you are comfortable. And then leave it to air dry. It will probably take a full week for it to properly dry out.

rice will cause corrosion.

Phone repair services that get paid extensively for water damage repair will definitely tell you that. They just want the unit in right after the accident, not a few weeks later. Makes sense, obviously. But there's nothing corrosive about rice. It's Ph is around 6 to 7 so it can be ever so slightly acidic. Wanna guess the Ph of clean rain water? It's normally a bit above 5, on a good day closer to 6.

 

Drying the unit with rice is just a slow method. While it's working the water does it's damage. Water, not rice. Also rice has to be in close contact with the water so it's not optimal. Something more professional would definitely have a better chance. But given that the OP is asking us instead of a qualified maintenance service of his laptop brand, I assumed, he's looking for a home remedy. I went even further in my assumptions and guessed that OP would be more likely to have a bunch of rice at the house than a dehumidifying chamber.

Take every part out and let it dry under fan for basically more than 4 hours.

T it dry.

its just better to take apart the affected phone take all of the components, soak it in IPA, clean it then soak it then dry.
