How can water damage cause desktop data loss?
From drips and spills to floods, if your desktop computer comes into contact with water, you risk losing your data.
If, for example, you spill a glass of water or cup of coffee on your desktop, the device can short circuit, causing serious damage. And, even if your computer seems to be working fine immediately after the incident, there may be internal damage that has the potential to cause a short circuit in the future.
If a spill does occur, acting fast will help minimize any damage. Turn your desktop off straight away and dry it as much as you can, ensuring that no internal components are wet.
