How to handle water damage to MacBook Pro?

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.

A logicboard and keyboard is a expensive fix, and then it could still have further issues.

Remove the hard drive out of the machine (hopefully not Filevaulted) and sell the machine online for parts.

My computer is not working, is my personal data lost?

there is no other option but to replace logic board and the keyboard and it expensive

Are you in Singapore? I ask because I can direct you to a service about an hour out of Toronto, that does this repair for <$250. Of course this info is of no use to you if you are 20,000 kms away!

Apple will be the most expensive alternative.. you should check an aftermarket repair shop they'll be cheaper.. alternatively, you can check ifixit.com and buy the parts from them and do the repair yourself.. they have online videos instucting you how to perform the repair.

A logic board is about $900USD and the upper case with keyboard isa bout $300USD. You should comapre this repair cost to the csot of buying a refurbished machine.

Yeesh. AS it doesn't poweup it is most likely the Login board.

If it where just the keyboard not working you could use an external keyboard

This has happened to me before. I had to get a new MagSafe and Keyboard. After that, the computer worked perfectly.
