Be aware that Apple or any other provider may opt not to touch the computer due to the biological nature of the contamination. Best to call ahead regardless of who you use.


As it will likely be a total write-off, do not wait to contact your homeowners'/renters' insurance carrier. Pput them on notice of a potential loss. Such policies often cover accidental damage to your tech. That may be the only financial relief you get.
