Small drops of water entering speakers of M1 MacBook Air?

So I was sitting at my desk and realized I accidentally dropped exactly 2 small droplets of water on my Macbook's speaker. Nothing was on the keyboard itself. I immediately wiped it off and set it aside for a bit. The audio sounds fine and having no issues with the MacBook itself.


I was just wondering is this something that can cause a great deal of damage later on? I know I sound paranoid, but just want to be certain. Thanks!

If you mean the grills, look closely. Maybe even use a toothpick to confirm, but from what I've read, they're cosmetic only with no holes into the interior at all. Which I think is a very good thing.

Power it off and let it dry. Do not use it for a while.


The water damage indicator inside your Mac might've changed color which means that the device is no longer covered by warranty. Liquid damage to Mac computers and accessories not covered by warranty - Apple Support


But as long as it is still working after you dry it, it should be fine. if it's not, you can bring it to Apple for repair. Mac Repair - Official Apple Support
