spilled water on my macbook air while it was on right near the speakers and where it folds. macbook instantly turned off. i followed the instructors, and 32 hours later, it worked. 1.) i instantly dried the computer off with a towel. I accidentally tried turning it on, which i did not know i wasn't supposed to, and it did not turn on. 2.) i put my laptop in an inverted V. left it near a window in the sun for 32 hours. 3.) prayed super hard. 4.) waited til night time when computer was physically cooled to try turning on. it worked one thing i noticed is that my battery gets hotter quicker, which is expected since there might be some battery damage. other than that, my macbook seems perfectly normal as if nothing happened. my battery life also seems to be unaffected, but i expect my battery life will deteriorate at a faster rate. hopefully your macbook works for you and that you learned a lesson like i have 😭

[@CSRLaunchpad]

@@j.k.4489 Ah shit, I'm sorry to read that mate. The problem with fizzy drinks like Lucozade is that because they are higher in acidic content, they can corrode the parts a lot more easily, whereas water is a bit harder to corrode the parts. Because yours isn't turning on, I would strongly recommend taking it to a computer repair shop ASAP and seeing if you can get all the data off of it at the very least. You might have to have the whole logic board replaced (which I'm sorry to say is not cheap), or you might just have to buy a brand new one altogether. If that's the case, I hope it's not going to be an issue. At least Black Friday is around the corner, so you might like to take advantage of that.

@@CSRLaunchpad 😭😭🥲 its super worrying. Basically, after i dropped the lucozade i quickly got rid of the drink as much as i can and i even sucked the drink with my mouth from the keyboard, i then used it for 10 minutes and the screen went black and wasnt working properly. So i couldnt tell if it was on or off, after watching this i let it in the air thinking i turned it off. Two days later i didnt realise i left it on, but I clicked it and its working. But i turned it off for now because i am still worried init and playing it safe, I am currently on holiday so i got to wait till next week to get it checked :/ I hope its just working fine but unfortunately i have to get it checked just in case.

Then I just left it like in that mountain pose for about 3-4 days. I would check on it often to see if it would still turn on by itself. Once it stopped turning on by itself I just started using it again and it’s perfectly fine now. but also it depends on how much water was spilled and if you can open it to a point where it won’t turn on.

ASAP as soon as my MAC was swimming in half glass of water I was drinking nearby, I did check out this video in 5 mins and did everything. I think the tent up position helped lots and not touching it and letting it air dry works well. I also did wrapped it in newspaper to absorb the water in. Now, I'm just observing if there are any changes now. So far it's just a lil bit heated up. WIll be checking its operations once I start to charge and use it as I did before. Will try to udpate this again if anything. SO THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO. I did spilt wine my old MAC last yr, there wasn't a video like this then.

[@DylanZ1201]

Really depends on how much liquid gets spilt on the laptop, but Pro’s are pretty water tight for light spills. It’s better to leave the MacBook on and do normal work to dry out the water in the trackpad/keys faster just from the heat of the laptop itself in that case. Turning it off and not using it will only allow the water to potentially reach other areas of the laptop if not drying quickly.

[@donavanmeyers2334]

RICE WILL WORK provided you take steps. First put the rice (lots and lots of it) and the computer in an air tight container. Just set it on the rice do not put in down inside the rice. The rice will pull the moisture out of the air, however it will not suck up all the water if you have too much moisture and not enough rice. Another option is to heat the rice in a microwave or oven (very low heat). This will drive the water off and cause the rice to want to absorb more moisture. If you were to uses about 2-3 lbs of rice in this way it will draw out any moisture you were not able to get out any other way. HOWEVER as the water leaves the machine it may leave behind deposits that can cause issues so you may get all the moisture out and be left with an unusable machine because of the goo your spilled drink left behind. In most cases water itself will not cause the machine to die provided it didn't short circuit to the point that you cooked components.

[@ensconcedinvelvet]

Hey everyone I'm gonna tell you exactly what happened to me. It will give you hope! On March 3rd, 2022 I spilled a ton of water on my brand spanking new MacBook Pro, Apple M1, 14 in. I had knocked over my 21 oz Hydro Flask and she was filled to the brim folks. It spilled straight on the keyboard. I yelled (neighbors probably heard me) and on instinct I immediately unplugged it, turned it over and ran to get napkins. My heart was palpating and I had 20 minutes to get to work. After soaking up the water, I tried shutting it down, which wasn't easy considering it was upside down. Then the damn thing turned on again because as soon as you press any key it turns on again. Argh!! I shut it down again and then just left it like that. After work I came home and tentatively tried to turn it on to check (don't do that) and it wouldn't turn on! I was devastated. Next morning I looked up a ton of KZbin videos, including this one 🙏 I decided my best chance was to leave my Macbook Pro upside down, in the triangle or "A" position, by an open door. I have a back door and I left it right there so it could receive cool air. I don't own a fan btw. Exactly 76 hours later, which is around 3 and a half days later after the water incident, I tried to turn it on and it worked! Omg I was so relieved! It did act a little funny at first: some random text appeared in the corner and I had some weird gibberish files on the desktop? But otherwise it's unchanged! Now, I use my computer for work so it needs to function at all times during presentations and other important things so I did purchase a new computer. Sure, the old computer still works, but I don't trust it in the long term or with important work files. Water damage as I've come to learn takes it's toll over time. Here's what I think ultimately worked to my benefit: -first I turned it upside down immediately and waited the minimum of 3 days. If I had let that water sit for even a minute more, who knows what could've happened -secondly I live in the desert. The air here is extremely dry and I believe it sped up the drying process. Hope this helps! And may your cup never runneth over near your computer again. ❤
