What is the estimated repair cost for water damage on MacBook keyboard?

Recently, someone knocked my bottle onto my macbook spilling water onto the keyboard. Although it is working fine as of the next day I have had past experiences with water corroding laptop components weeks later, and was wondering if anyone knows roughly how much apple would charge for opening it up and checking for the presence of water?

To my knowledge, Apple will not open a Mac just to check for water infiltration. If that is deemed necessary, they'll approach it as if it actually needs repair and charge accordingly, though you can make an appointment at an Apple Store or authorized service center and discuss it with them. If you're in the US, you can get an estimate on repair costs here:

If you're in another country, you'll need to check the support resources you have available there.


Regards.
