Q: Spilt Water on MBP. What should I do?
I knocked my bottle of water on top of my mbp's keyboard about an hour ago. I immediately unplugged it and shut down. After the spill I shut it down and haven't powered it back on. There was a pool of water that formed on the upper part of the keyboard (where the vents are) before I turned it upside down and saw water dripping out from inside. I'm worried that with that much water there is going to be irreversible damge. I was reading that even after a few months water damage can show up even if the computer operates normally.
My question is... Since I am covered under applecare can I take it to the applestore to have them crack it open and clean up the remaining water pools? Or should the water accumultion be gone within a few days if I don't turn it on and keep it turned upside down?
