# Dealing with water damage ## General advice * See this page: * Leave the pen/tablet to draw dry for at least 48 hours. Keeping it in a dry warm (but not hot) place will help. ## Tablet * if your tablet is connected with any cables, disconnect the cables. * If your tablet is connected wirelessly, it may have an on/off button. Turn it off. ## Pen * Remove the nib to help it dry faster * Keep the pen upright with the nib removed and pointed down to help drain water * Some pens buttons are a "rocker" type which can be removed and put back in. if you are confident you won't harm your pen this is one option. * Some people, disassemble their pens - but only try this if you find a good reference on YouTube and are confident around electronics. - --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
