It will almost certainly contain sugars or other corrosive chemicals. The bad news:Īfter the liquid dries, the residue remains on the circuit boards. Keep very good track of which screw came from where. Otherwise if you have a teeny-tiny phillips-head screwdriver, and the guts to do it, dismantle it yourself and pat everything dry that you can reach. Jets of compressed air that actually blow the water out of the machine would be better. A hot-air hair dryer would not help you could just as well air-dry it yourself. Note that it's important to remove the liquid and not dry it in place.

They'll know how to take it apart and dry it out. Or better yet, get it to a repair shop if you can. Give it about a day for the liquid to dry. OK, having wrecked a couple of Macbooks myself because someone spilled liquid into them, I'll tell you what to expect:įirst, power it off and remove the battery if you can (but I don't think you can with your model) and prop it up so any liquid can run out. I am, again, mainly worried about liquid having leaked through its edges.
Moreover, I would also appreciate a comment from people who know a thing or two about the hardware of this laptop model regarding how 'water protected' the trackpad structure is. Resassurance from experts on this site will give me peace of mind. However, I am very busy this weekend and a visit to the Apple Store will take a good 2 hours of my time, at the very least. Normally, I wouldn't even ask I'd take it to the Apple Store just in case. Is it worth the time to go to an Apple Store and get this checked out? What is the likelihood that the laptop, particularly the trackpad, will develop problems in the future? The laptop, including the trackpad, is functioning normally at this moment. Several hours later, I ran the diagnostics test again and it was fine. Rather, I ran the Apple Diagnostics Test and it came out fine. The liquid came in contact with the trackpad (including the edges of it). It has 16 GB of RAM and 512 GB storage, though this is probably irrelevant. I purchased this laptop a few months ago. I've spilled 5-10 mL of liquid on my Macbook Pro (13 inch, early 2015) some hours ago.
