What to do if you spill coke on MacBook Pro?

I’ve spilt coke all over my MacBook Pro and mainly on the keypad. What should I do. It’s not turning on at all and won’t charge when connected to power?

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.12

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

https://www.apple.com/support/products/mac.html



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-warranty 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"—

If Vintage and obsolete products - Apple Support

then most any computer repair store can help you.



Liquid damage tends to get worse over time not better— soda is highly caustic/ leading to continued corrosion.
