splashes of water from the bottle dropped on MacBook’s keyboard

Hi,

little water got spilled by accident, in a way that big splashes of water from the bottle dropped on MacBook’s keyboard…but after water got absorbed through lint free cloth, I wiped thoroughly & kept around 3 hours in tent position on my pillow…it is working just fine(most of the water was on the surface & on bed)


but I kept it on all that time (on sleep mode) was scared to turn it off…


battery was full so it wasn’t plugged in while it happened


will run the test after 3 days


right now it’s been 12 hours & have been using but trying not to use big softwares or anything big…

(You can just add to this for precaution if you want to)

Liquids and electronics do not play together well at all. Does not matter what you've done already to mitigate the spillage either.


You never know you may get lucky and nothing appears to be wrong with it in the near future or for the duration of its life. But don't be surprised if it starts developing a problem or problems of a seemingly random nature sooner rather than later.


Best thing you can do is get it checked out at your nearest Apple Repair Centre asap. If the prognosis is not good then consider having it repaired - depending on the costs - or claiming for it under your home contents insurance policy (assuming you have one). The insurance claim will probably end up being the cheaper option.


Good luck.
