Hello all,

Friday afternoon, I was carrying my Y480 when my water bottle opened and spilled all over my laptop. It had my battery in. I didn't know that water was on it until I plugged in my power adaptor and it wouldn't turn on. I saw the power button blinking, the power light flashing amber, and the battery light white. I took apart my laptop, and found water underneath the keyboard. Not a lot of water but still. I dried it up as much as I can, let it sit and plugged it back in. It worked fine.

I then left it off for 11 hours and tried again Saturday afternoon. Used it just fine for the next 8 hours.

I was wondering if I should still call Lenovo's warranty service and see if they should do something about this. I only have the 1 year limited warranty.

What are your thoughts?
 
I am of the mind that if there isn't any issues with running, there's nothing to be concerned about. You can look for yellow problem flags in the Device Manager and you can run diagnostics such as SIW here http://www.gtopala.com/ just to make sure there aren't any subtle problems hiding - if you find there are problems while running the tests, then contact Lenovo but I would really be surprised if the diagnostics show any issues. I would think you're okay
