What to do if your hard drive is damaged by water
● Do not try to turn it on
This is important. Do not connect this drive to any power source under any circumstances. If the disk is inside the laptop, then this applies to the entire laptop.
It could be extremely dangerous to allow current to flow through flooded circuits. You may cause further, irreparable damage to your machine.
● Do not try to dry it
It may seem sensible to place the hard drive in a warm place, such as a sunny windowsill or next to a radiator. This is a bad idea. Do not use a radiator, or hair dryer or try to speed up the drying process yourself because water is more complex than just being a liquid.
It contains minerals that leave behind deposits that could be more severe if you live in a hard water area. Saltwater from the sea also contains abrasive deposits (the salt itself) that quickly corrode hard drives and other electrical components. If you've had the misfortune of spilling some other form of liquid - fizzy drink, hot drink, fruit juice, or glass of wine - other ingredients in these drinks can cause damage.
● Do not try to use a bag of rice.
A bag of rice can't absorb water from your hard drive the same way it can absorb water from your phone. Most hard drives should never go anywhere near water. Some external hard drives are made with durable travel cases, but they are rarely waterproof if fully submerged.
A hard drive is also much larger than your phone. Using the good old "rice trick" could also damage the delicate internal mechanisms of your hard drives.
