Handling and Maintenance Note that repairs resulting from liquids being spilled on the computer are not free of charge, and not covered by warranty. If You Spill Water on the Keyboard The keyboard, touch pad, and palm rest on this computer incorporate a drain system (a moisture protection mechanism) that minimizes the amount of liquid reaching the inside of the computer even if water is spilled on the keyboard. Any water that comes in contact with the keyboard is drained off through holes in the bottom of the computer, so that virtually no water is left inside the computer. However, this is not a guarantee against damage to the hard disk or other internal parts, or against the loss or deletion of data. The drain system is incorporated into only the keyboard, touch pad, and palm rest. It does not apply to any other components.
