I spilled milk tea on Macbook Pro and few drops went inside audio and one USB port. Both are not working. What should I do? Someone suggested cleaning it using nail polish remover. Will it help?
It's 13 inch Macbook Pro late 2011 model.
Thanks.
MacBook Pro, iOS 7.0.4
I wouldn't use acetone at all (nail polish remover). I wouldn't think that cleaning the ports would do any good anyway. The ports probably shorted out and are simply not going to be useable -> you would have to get a new logic board to fix the problem.
Liquid and electronics are a bad 'mix'.
Sorry,
Clinton
Whoever told you to use acetone on your macbook, ignore them,...no don't do that
Thanks Clinton. One or two small drops went inside the port. Is there any other way I can try cleaning?
You could try with a liquid or gel that is specifically made for working on computer parts (not on screens or cases) but I don't think that it will get the ports operating again.

I suggest using non-residue electronics cleaner. Spray it inside and try to wipe it with a Q-tip or a fine microfiber cloth wrapped around a toothpick. It may or may not work.
Ciao.
