Abstract
A computing device may determine, based on one or more inputs detected by a presence-sensitive screen, whether at least a threshold amount of liquid is present on the presence-sensitive screen. The computing device may automatically transition the computing device from operating in a first operating mode to operating in a second operating mode responsive to determining that at least the threshold amount of liquid is present. The computing device may discard inputs detected by the presence-sensitive screen while the computing device is operating in the second operating mode.
