Spilled coffee on Macbook Pro 14 M1 model

Hey guys


I spilled some coffee on the right side microphones of my laptop. I cleaned it with napkin and thought it’s not a big deal and put it in my bag and went home.


When I checked the microphone (tested with recording audio message and sound section on settings) I realised it’s recording less sound.

I immediately turned it off and put it upside down.


My question is that is this kind of damage reversible? Will the microphone work after this or does it need repair? Could this issue grow bigger and cause other damages?

MacBook Pro 14″, macOS 13.0

Turning on a wet machine can cause more damage and increase the cost of repair. ⚠️


Based on your situation, I recommend service.
