I just spilled water on my macbook pro keyboard and my mac won't turn on. It charges and everything but the keyboard/screen doesn't light up. I immediately flipped it upside-down and dried it with a blow dryer and now its just sitting on the desk. The fans inside my laptop are going on and have been for 30 minutes now and I feel air coming out of the vents. Any tips? And how much do you think it might cost to repair? Or am i better off buying a new macbook? I still have AppleCare and my laptop is only 2 years old.. PLEASE HELP! I have an emotional attachment to all my Apple products :(

P.S: Right now its COMPLETELY dry. I even ran little pieces of paper towel under the keys..

Sink it in a sack of rice.. One that would be enough to fit your laptop.. Leave it there for A

Max of 2 weeks.



If it didnt work out, go to a technician

Pack it in rice. Happened to my blackberry tablet and I read that rice would absorb the moisture, and it worked. Leave it for a couple of days. Oh, try to absorb any moisture with paper towels etc. first
