Spilled on MBwhite wont log in

Last night i spilled 7up on my Macbook White. I wiped it off and let it dry during the night.

I started it this morning and it booted nice and all keys were working (i think). The problem is that when i type in my password which i know is perfectly correct, it wont log me in. All of the keys are pressable and will leave a dot or * in the passwordbox, but it just wont let me in. The Enter-button leaves a dot aswell i dont think it should but anyways...Dont know what to do! Since i only see dots im not sure if some keys have swapped place or something but arrghhh i dont know what to do?

I dont have a Mac-disc and i have tried the Single User-option but when i try to type the commands there nothing shows up?

MacBook, Mac OS X (10.7.2)

Unfortunately any liquid spilled on a MacBook keyboard will spread internally. You may have wiped off the surface but the internal circuitry may well have been damaged.


If I were you I would make an appointment at the Genius Bar in your local Apple store and take it in for evaluation. You will not be charged for this and the Genius will offer advice on what repairs are necessary and what it will cost. Be prepared to be shocked if a new logic board is suggested 😮
