[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1322021, member: 56379"] It's hard to say...unless someone has "x-ray vision" to see if there is water/moisture on the inside of your Mac...and since all of us are on the internet...even if we had x-ray vision...it wouldn't help from 100's or 1000's of miles away!;) About the best you can do is wait a few days to let most or all of any possible moisture to evaporate. Of course if you were super concerned...and had the ability to take this computer apart to look at it...that would be even better. You didn't tell us what model Mac you have...but if it has a removable battery...I would remove it...and of course unplug the computer from the electricity. If you have a newer laptop with the non-user removable battery...not much you can do about this. I would also minimize moving the computer...since if you move it...and any possible moisture that is in it may migrate from somewhere "safe" to somewhere not-safe. Finally...taking it to Apple probably isn't a great idea: - First because all that movement will cause any moisture to migrate around inside the computer. - Second...Apple won't cover any damage under warranty...because cat's spilling water on a computer is not covered - Third...Apple will probably tell you that you need a new logic board...costing $500-$700+ dollars. The best you can do at the moment is wait a couple days, and hope for the best. And if you don't mind my saying...don't put your computer anywhere where it's near liquids...ESPECIALLY if you have a cat!!! We have tons of "BAD CAT" stories! - Nick [/QUOTE]
