I recently knocked tea on my MB Pro 13" (Mid 2012). Apart from the keyboard backlight, everything was fine. So I opened it up and the residue that was visible after drying was only on the optical drive. The logic board seems safe. Will it be ok?

MacBook Pro, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2)

Spill Cleaning


And, don't think that just because it was two teaspoons and not a glassful that there is a difference.


Some liquid has just spilled into your Mac. What should you do?


Do

  • Immediately shut down the computer and unplug the power cord.
  • Remove the computer's battery (if you can)
  • Disconnect any peripherals (printers, iPods, scanners, cameras, etc.)
  • Lay the computer upside down on paper towels to get as much liquid as possible to drip out.
  • Note what was spilled on your Mac.
  • Bring the computer into an Apple store or AASP as soon as possible.



Don't

  • Don't try to turn it back on. Liquids can help electrical current move about the components of your Mac in destructive ways.
  • Don't shake the computer (this will only spread the liquid around).
  • Don't use a hair dryer on it (even at a low setting a hair dryer will damage sensitive components).
  • Do not put in a bag of rice in as much as rice will get into the ports and optical drive and do further damage.
