Nail polish remover on my macbook pro

Hi there,

I have by accident spilled some nail polish remover on my MacBook Pro. Most went on the mousepad, a little bit on the keys. I cleaned it up right away, but I know that Acetone is a killer. This happened an hour ago, and my laptop still worked when I turned it off, a few minutes after the incident. The mousepad had difficulty on clicking at first, but after a few clicks it felt normal again. Now I cannot sleep or anything, I am so freaked out by reading other cases 😟 Is there a chance my sweet one will be alright? I know that most of the times these things break electronics after a few days if not right away. Any insights?

MacBook Pro, iOS 7.1.2

Hello again,

so, I am posting this from my Mac now. Everything seems to work as it should right now. I am ready for it getting worse later on, as many others predict, and as soon as I have the opportunity will get it checked out.

Thank you so much for all the help, it really made a big difference.

Thanks!

" I am posting this from my Mac now."

Hooray!

". Everything seems to work as it should right now."

Hopefully the logic board is fine.

"I am ready for it getting worse later on,"

Since I can't examine your MBP I can make no such predictions. The worrysome problem would be residual crap on the logicboard.

Since there was quite a bit of remover go into the trackpad I would expect issues with that later as well as the keyboard, either of which is a relatively cheap fix if you just do the component itself.

"I have the opportunity will get it checked out."

You can do that but:

So I wouldn't mention it if there isn't a smoking gun.😉 Especially since there's a recall on your model and evidence or admission of liquid damage would preclude you from receiving a free repair under the recall.

Well if you have any further problems just post back. If there going to be problems in the future I would expect trackpad or keyboard issues.

Thanks for the checkmark!
