[QUOTE="Mundungus, post: 581830, member: 39286"] Leave it off, unplugged, remove battery. Turn it upside down on a towel so the keyboard is flat to the table surface. I know Macs don't open all the way so you'll have to let the display hang off the table, just have something like a chair and pillow to support it so it does not fall! Let it dry out BY AIR (no hairdryers or the like). Hopefully the liquid did not short the logic board. Fire it up after a few hours or be really cautious and take it apart and clean out the gook or take it to a shop before powering it up. I know this is a Apple board, but I tell you they could learn something from Dell and make keyboards that have a plastic liner so no spilled water gets inside. You may have to buy a new keyboard, but thats a heck of a lot cheaper than fried components... [/QUOTE]
