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.

Unknown Captain. Only Apple or an authorised service centre could tell you that. In other words you guess is as good as mine. Don't mess about with it - take it to the experts not some dodgy computer repair store.
Thanks for your reply!
