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.
1 Turn off the computer (see page 42), disconnect the AC adapter from
the computer, and then disconnect the AC adapter from the electrical
outlet.
2 Turn off any attached external devices, and disconnect them from
their power sources and then from the computer.
3 Ground yourself by touching one of the metal connectors on the back
of the computer.
4 Remove the module bay device (see page 42) and any installed PC
Cards, and put them in a safe place to dry.
