    Hi all,

    I'm not sure if its officially called litmus paper, but I know cellphones have it. Is there something inside laptops that is used to indicated that liquid has come into contact with the insides of the laptop?

    Just wondering.

    Thanks!

    I thought Litmus paper was used to test the pH level of water or a substance..

    Oh, the memories of chemistry class...at least it'll detect if you spill a soft drink or coffee into it. But laptops do have a built in indicator - if it sparks, it's wet.

    Hahaha. Yeah... I got in so much trouble lighting random things on fire and messing around in general. But, for criss sakes, when all we do is boil water, you gotta do something to stay entertained.

    MOLES
