What the symptoms may tell you
A console can appear normal immediately after a spill while internal moisture remains. Symptoms may develop later, and powering it can increase damage.
Safe checks to try first
- 1Switch off and unplug from the wall if it is safe to do so.
- 2Keep the device upright and away from children and pets; note the liquid and time of exposure.
- 3Identify whether game saves or captures exist only on the console before any later repair decision.
What to avoid
Do not turn it on to check, use a hair dryer, pour cleaner through vents or open the power supply.
Next step
Seek a suitable electronics specialist, especially if important data is at stake.
