quick summary for people who just spilled water. MOVE QUICKLY and calmly 1. Unplug everything 2. wipe away all visible water quickly 3. turn it off ASAP 4. Lie the laptop down keyboard facing down. Upside down L formation, not a tent. On a table or edge with the keyboard down and the screen hanging. 5. leave it there for a day, maybe two and Keep the laptop off the whole time 6. after a day or two, go to someone ask them to open it up and check if there’s anything damaged

[@MarcoD94]

Thanks for this, accidently dropped the milk pourer into my coffee at a coffee shop and it splashed my macbook, over some of the keys and the right speaker, most went on the table. It didn't turn off so I wiped it immediately and turned it off. Unfortunately, it kept turning back on (it's always done that), changed the setting and powered down. I had to take it home so it was in my bag, got to wait another 24 hrs. Hopefully, all is good.

[@221b-Maker-Street]

1. It’s not 2 hours, it’s 27 minutes. Hyperbole doesn’t help you when you’re complaining. 2. Watch it on double speed. 13 minutes is worth it if it saves you over €1,000. 3. Use the time you save to reconsider where you place hot drinks in proximity to your expensive tech in future. 4. Eat some humble pie, rather than whingeing at someone offering free advice for a range of circumstances.

The best thing is to have it checked by a professional before trying to turn it back on.

[@nandocame620]

why don’t make water resistant?! Like the phone

[@Damglador]

Considering the cost of Macs they should be spilled resistant. But most of laptops have holes for cooling and they're not unrepairable garbage like MacBooks, so they have additional holes between keyboard and frame, between top and bottom cover and between other components. However there is drainage holes under keyboard on some laptops as I know.

[@markmywords3817]

Answer: any attempts at sealing the laptop is a heat dissipation and repairability issue. You are forced to change phones every 2-4 years max due to software updates, but a good repairable laptop can last a decade or more. Case in point, I still have my 2011 macbook pro as my backup laptop and media server for the home network. Upgraded to 16GB ram, ssd, repaired speakers, and battery still lasts 2-3 hours, which is good enough for a backup computer.

I can't put the keyboard facing down!!! Its just automatically turning on!

[@andikarinaldo]

Hi Hamad, thanks so much for this. I experienced the unfortunate thing a few hours ago when I was on the train and had my full water bottle spilled over my bag. I immediately took out my MacBook Pro (in fully shut down condition) while still on the train, and had the lid opened as I wanted to urgently dry it as much as possible only with my tshirt. As soon as I opened the lid, it got automatically turned on though I know I should avoid it but it just happened. - As soon as I reached the next station, I immediately approached a toilet to find a hand dryer (it wasn’t the hot air one, but more like cool blower) to dry it. I started to realize that my MacBook wasnt turned on anymore and I spontaneously tried to press the power button to ensure if this was fully affected, and nothing happened. It’s fully not working as I pressed the power button. - As soon as I got home, I put it in the tent position as I read most of other articles/videos suggested for around 30 mins, then I switched to upside down position as you suggested after I found your video just now, and will try to keep it for the next 2-3 days, I put it in front of a fan and under an AC. - Do you think I’ve done the right thing as it happened? This is my corp laptop and I’m so sad cause I wouldn’t get a MacBook anymore as a replacement if this is fully damaged. Your feedback is appreciated, thanks so much Hamad!

[@FarahAlfarajat]

Same thing happened to me, it worked at first then shat down, any updates? I’m sure if I take to apple they will charge its original price for repair

[@andikarinaldo]

Update: it didn’t work even after >50hours. I believe this would be caused by it was turned on automatically as I opened the lid, then I didn’t immediately force shutdown. Now the laptop is fully damaged and returned to my office. Pretty sad

[@FarahAlfarajat]

I spilt coffee with lots of sugar on my MacBook Air keyboard. Unplugged immediately then dried it off. But I googled what to do and it said put it upside down in tent formation. Now I’m at work and it’s been like that for 4 hours so I won’t be able to put it flat to dry until I get home. I tried turning it off but it kept turning back on and then it finally turned off but flashed pink for a second…I googled what that meant and it’s apparently the screen of death? Ugh! 😩

So it's okay to use ultra thin keyboard protectors for new macbook models? I thought apple advised against it

[@linnyroro3177]

They told me the same thing and I'm regretting it because my cat knocked over a 32oz cup of sweet tea all over my keyboard a little while ago. I just paid to replace the entire bottom half the computer which is the processor, trackpad, and keyboard. I dried it, but it won't stay turned off.

[@Aaron-zh4kj]

Quick Outline/Explanation of the video: Types of Liquid Damage 1)Fully Submerged (most extreme; i.e., a bathtub) 2) Inside a Backpack (something spills in the same bag as the laptop) 3) On the keyboard/sides (while using it/sitting on a table) 4) Without your knowledge (for instance, something spilled on the table it's sitting on and you didn't realize) DO NOT's: 1) Don't Panic 2) Don't put it in the tent position 3) Don't put it in rice 4) Don't shake it 5) Don't blow air in it. 6) Don't use a hairdryer 7) Don't use heat 8) Don't turn it on 9) Don't plug it up (to the charger) 10) Don't wait (to take it in to get repaired) DO's: 1) Stay calm 2. Unplug the charger 3. Put the keyboard facing down (A. Set paper towel on a flat surface B. Flip your laptop, keyboard-side flat on the paper towel C. Allow gravity to drain the liquid from the macbook) 4. if it still works after the spill, WAIT At least 48 hours 5. Have the right person fix it.

Hi Hamad! I have a special case for you. Could you share your expertise with me? Don't want to dump my years old, most reliable Macbook. MacBook Pro Retina 13" A1502 from 2013 I guess. I spilled water over it about 6 month ago. It still worked for a couple of days without any problems. I only had to plug in an external keyboard as the original one was dead as a result of the water. All well, I roughly did the steps you recommend. I carefully removed the water with a towel and afterwards with a vacuum cleaner (not sure if the vacuum was a good idea, what would you say?). Towel. Upside down overnight. It still worked. The Problem: There was a moment, when the battery went empty. And the "ON-Button" of the external keyboard (win) does not trigger the MacBook to start. So it did not start it since then. Now, as I have time, I want to repair it. Which means I want to change the keyboard. Do you think, changing only the keyboard will fix the problem? Or do you think, it could has worked back then, but now after this long time the water has destroyed other components? I would be exited to get an answer from you. regards from Bavaria

[@HamadBenaicha]

Hello, the A1502 are probably the most reliable MacBooks, an easy you can tell if it's only the keyboard is remove the back cover, unplug the battery, unplug the keyboard and plug it to power and if it's only the keyboard the MacBook will turn on automatically by itself, if it does, it's a good news and just replace the keyboard and you should be good to go.

A few years ago, I spilled a some black coffee, a quarter cup at most I think, on my late 2105 MacBook Pro keyboard. I did some correct things like turning it off and towel drying what was on the surface. Unfortunately, I think I did a few wrong things also, like shaking it, not putting it upside down right away, and using a fan to try to dry it faster. I didn't use the laptop for a couple of days and tried to let it dry on it's own with the help of the fan. After that, everything seemed to be working okay as far as I could tell, but about 2-3 years later, three of my keyboard keys quit working, the U, I and O keys More recently, my H and N keys also failed. Wondering if liquid damage can cause problems like this to occur years later or if this is an unrelated problem? Thank you so much for making this video though, and If I ever spill anything on my laptop again, I'm now armed with the knowledge of what exactly to do and not do.

[@HamadBenaicha]

Hello Luther, based on my years of experience and all the MacBooks that I have fixed, sometimes the corrosion took 6 months or more to damage chips or the wires underneath the keyboard, your keyboard will need to be replaced, there is no other way around if when you press a key and it does not register.

Yes if you can wait a bit longer even better, but don't let it go pass a week, because if there is a problem you don't want to wait too longer either.

[@giannapspsmeow]

@@glennshibu5776 hi! yes, so i ended up waiting 7 days, and the macbook was completely fine with no damage at all. i just kept it upside down (with the keyboard resting on a wool sweater, to soak any water that came out) for those 7 days and it turned out fine! i was really worried because it felt like it would turn out to be major damage, but it did turn out okay. i think the main reason is because the vents on a macbook that old are placed on the bottom of the macbook, while i spilt water on the keyboard. and i guess i was just lucky that the water inside the keyboard got out good enough to not ruin it.

Hello! Should I still make it a concern if I spilled a little water only on the centre of the keyboard without hitting the sides or spacebar? It mostly got on the G key and around it but I instantly wiped the water off. The thing is after that I turned it upside down to shake it, but no water came out. So am I okay?

Thank you so much for your expert advice!! I accidentally knocked over my water bottle on the keyboard of my MacBook M1 about 10 minutes ago😭!! I quickly picked up the bottle but a good amount of water definitely got on the keyboard! I had watched a video before yours & had my MacBook in that tent position😣!! I did everything you said! It did turn on when I put it upside down (I don’t like that feature of it turning on by hitting any key or the trackpad!) but was able to shut it down using the trackpad & it remained off. I’m praying there isn’t any or major damage🥺🙏🏽 I’ll be taking it to Apple in two days (too bad I’m not in Canada🫤🤭). Thank you, again, & I appreciated you advising us not to panic because my anxiety was making me freak out!!😱🫨😵‍💫

@@msphcf first off thankyou Mr. Hamad for all the information you gave and glad to hear that your macbook still working. I currently did the same mistake here.. I've put my laptop in a tent position and I move the water into the middle area where supposably I should'nt. In my case with the M1 once it on automatically the trackpad works fine but previous when I spilled the water while watching netflix the speaker was off... is there any chance to fix the speaker by waiting 48 hours in the flip position? Or should I just go directly to service center?

My mac was on but i turned it off and after I accidentally turened it on The screen is not working😢

[@michaelahn1426]

I have a question. I spilt water on the keyboard, and then after a bit of panic I turned it off and then put it in the tent position for a few hours, then I came across this video and then I tried to move it, and the laptop turned on just from the little movement. I turned it off and then tried to put it in the position you said and obviously because the keys are pressed it fucking turns on again. Idk if it I’m not turning the laptop off properly, because I held down the fingerprint on/off button until it turned off (it is a MacBook air M1 chip). This is how I saw everyone else turn it off through the other videos. So my question is how do you expect me to put it in that position in a situation where the laptop has not died completely? Please if anything I’m somehow not shutting the laptop off properly, but then tell me how to. I am just very annoyed that after watching this video and trying whatever to put it in a different position I may have fucked up my laptop even more because I ran electricity through multiple times. I would appreciate a fast response. Thanks.

[@victorjames7156]

how is it now?

[@TW-hb2cr]

Help. Yesterday, I had some Lysol wipes in my bag and I think the liquid from the package came out an got into my MacBook Pro. I turned it on just to see if it was okay. It played fine for awhile so I thought it was fine. Now, it has a green tint on most of my screen. Sigh. I've turned it off and have the keyboard facing down. Any suggestions at this point? Does it sound like a costly repair?

[@HamadBenaicha]

It's hard to tell depending on the year and the model but it will definitely need some repair.

Please help! I spilled a mixture of melted ice and soda onto the keyboard of my Mac while it was asleep (only a little bit). Flipped it on its side to dry out and left it for days. It turned back on but is slow and fan runs on high. Charges fine, no damage to keys or screen. Turned off and let it sit for several weeks. Should I open the back and clean the logic board with alcohol to make sure there’s no sugar remaining/corrosion l? Will the fan running on high damage it?

I have seen it many times, it looks like a drop went inside the LCD circuit and may have damaged your LCD, you'll have to have it checked by a professional, you can check if you press the "Caps Locks" key and if the light comes on, most likely the LCD is dead.

[@rashidaalexander3844]

@@HamadBenaicha ahh thank you. Yes I pressed the caps lock and the light came on. So do i understand that my laptop and all my work and files will still be safe and it is only the screen that needs changing? Is this something anyone can fix or does it need to be fixed by Apple? And is it costly to fix the LCD? Thank you SO much for your help.
