Unplugging and turning off your laptop cuts the power to your laptop directly, but if anything else is plugged into your laptop through a port, it’s still drawing power and needs to be unplugged. While your laptop is wet, anything that could possibly produce or draw the tiniest bit of electricity is a danger, Business Insider notes — to both you and your laptop’s internal components.
This includes any peripheral devices that are plugged in via a USB port, like a wired mouse or keyboard, an external microphone, a flash drive, your phone’s charging cable, an extra monitor, and so on. Similarly, if you have a pair of wired headphones connected to your laptop through an audio jack, unplug them — cable and all.
It’s easy to look at your laptop and remove all the peripheral devices you can see, but don’t forget about anything currently inside your laptop. For example, you may have an SD card or micro SD card plugged in. Or, if you have an older laptop with a CD drive, double-check that there’s nothing hiding inside.
