[QUOTE="z.l, post: 1428554, member: 263892"] [b]A bit of a unique situation...[/b] I keep my MacBook Pro on the floor most nights, as I set it there after using it before sleeping. Last night, a pipe broke, and my room was flooded about a centimeter or so with water. As far as I can tell, water did not even reach the keyboard (everything was dry when I opened the laptop), and when I turned it on (it was sleeping), everything appeared fine. But the bottom and sides of the Mac were definitely wet. I just don't know how high up; my boyfriend dried it off for me. Anyways, after turning it on, I didn't turn the Mac off, just put it back to sleep. I was way more concerned with the general flooding. Now, I'm worried. If nothing else, I know it's been air dried, because it was in the direct line of the giant fan used to dry the room in general. But I didn't do anything else. =/ Will it help to turn the Mac off tonight (I'm at work right now)? What should I do? Also, I shouldn't invert the laptop in this case, right? Since water entered from below, not above? Super worried because the Mac is new (less than 6 months)...:[ [/QUOTE]
