[QUOTE="setter1414, post: 1290044, member: 213336"] I posted this on the official spill thread, and I realized that no one has really posted on it recently so I made a new thread and I'm going to try to delete my post on the other thread just so it doesn't look like I'm spamming up the forum. But this is what I posted late last night: So tonight I got home from work, and I turned on my Macbook Pro 15 inch, late 2011 model I believe. I went to the kitchen to get a 3/4 full glass of ice cold water, and while walking back to the table where my computer was I tripped over my dang dog and spilled water all over my keyboard and speakers. I instantly turned my computer on its side to drain the water and it took me about a minute to remember to power off the computer (it wasn't plugged in thank God). So I tipped it on its side and dried the keyboard and keys as best as I could. I now have it upside down and a little water has leaked out of a few of the keys. Its been about 30 minutes since some water has trickled out (and not a lot trickled out overall). I'm currently spazzing out because this thing is my baby. I know I shouldn't turn it on for a good 48-72 hours. And I don't think I have a big enough bag of rice to throw it in. What should I do for now to help it dry? Its a unibody, so I don't know how to take the battery out and I don't feel comfortable unscrewing the whole thing. Should I call Apple tomorrow and talk to them and see if they will look at it and can determine if there is any damage? I have Applecare and sadly I didn't know it didn't cover accidental damage. Any tips? edit: so I unscrewed the bottom of the laptop but didn't take out the battery (how no idea how to do that lol.) But I did see that some water was on top of the battery, and around the fans and a few drops elsewhere. i just dabbed/dried them and put the bottom back on. I guess I'll just wait a few days.
