Accidentally spilled coffee on my MacBook Air.

I accidentally spilled coffee on my MacBook Air keyboard.


What I did after spilled coffee on my MacBook.


  1. Turnoff MACBOOK immediately.
  2. Remove the coffee from keyboard by using Cotton Cloth immediately.
  3. Turn the computer upside down for 24Hrs at Room temp.


Problem now I faced:

  1. Trackpad not working
  2. Camera Not working
  3. Sound not working.

Read ▶︎ Liquid Damage (not covered by warranty). 


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


Based on your situation, I recommend service.
