Sorry there is no quick fix—computers and liquid do not mix.


Even if you think you dodged a bullet, down stream the corrosion continues.


The keyboard is a 5 layers of mylar sheets with associated traces—the only economical fix is a new top case/keyboard assembly if you are experiencing issues.




If you have AppleCare+ it will cover a large portion of accidental damage.

AppleCare+ (similar for iPhone and iPad, each incident of accidental damage) for Mac will carry its own price tag. Screen damage or “external enclosure damage” will run $99 per incident, while other damage, including water damage, will run $299. Users receive coverage of two incidents under AppleCare+, and after the two incidents have been used up, out-of-warratny replacement rates will apply


In or out of warranty you can get a free over the counter 'Apple Service Diagnostics' test /assessment

Make an appointment for a "hardware issue"—
