Also worth mentioning that water damage is not covered and automatically voids the warranty. Yes, it is a cruel world.


What I have used with dunked cellphones and handsfree earpieces is placing them dry rice straight out of the box. Same effect can be achieved if you can procure adequate quantities of silica gel pellets or similar desiccant. The idea is to place the device surrounded by the desiccant in a sealed container and let it absorb the moisture.


Probably quicker to take it to the repair shop.

MacBook Pros are not water proof, they are as susceptible to water damage as any piece of electronic gear. While you may survive without damage it would be best to take it to an Apple genius bar or authorized repair service and have it opened and checked out for corrosion or any problems the water may have created. Sooner to do that is better than waiting for a problem to appear.

I try to open it as I was very curious if it still works it doesnt seem to have any problems keyboard buttons are working just fine, mouse pad is working just fine even the keyboard lights are working. But as I am still worried about it I closed it again and will open it tomorrow.
