I spilled a little water to my microsoft surface's touch pad. It dried but touch pad isn;t working. Help me

Hi Shokhislom**,**

Thanks for reaching out, and I’m really sorry to hear about the water spill on your Surface’s touchpad. That kind of accident can be stressful, especially when everything else seems fine but one-part stops working.

Let’s go through a few things that might help __

Power Off and Let It Dry__

If you haven’t already, turn off the device completely.

Leave it in a dry, well-ventilated area for 24–48 hours.

Avoid using heat sources like hair dryers they can cause more harm than good.

Use an External Mouse

Try connecting a USB or Bluetooth mouse to see if the rest of the system is working fine.

Check Device Manager

Press Win + X > Device Manager

Expand Mice and other pointing devices

Look for your touchpad. If it’s missing or has a warning icon:

Right-click > Uninstall device

Restart your Surface and see if it reinstalls automatically

If the touchpad still isn’t responding, it’s possible the spill caused hardware damage. In that case, I recommend contacting Microsoft Support:

 https://support.microsoft.com/surface

Choose Surface > Hardware issue > Touchpad not working

You’ll be guided through checking your warranty and repair options

If your device is under warranty, they’ll let you know what’s covered. If not, they’ll offer service options based on your location.
