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!

    Rice is not a good idea. It barely wicks the water away and normally just adds other odd things that’ll interact with the water and cause additional corrosion.

      yup. rice is basically one of the worst things you can do. Unless your goal is to have rice dust in your electronics which will turn into goo when it gets moist
