Salad oil spilled on MacBook touchpad

[Gunes66]

Hello friends, while I was eating salad at the computer, a few big drops accidentally fell on the Trackpad. I wiped it with a napkin, they went inside, I guess, a little bit of them too. Does it create a problem? I intervened quickly, and I doubt it might be in it. Olive oil. I don't think it will be a problem. What do you think?

Well, I guess you could now tell people that your trackpad is well-seasoned and also naturally lubricated with organic oil.
Then from this article, it would appear that things should be okay:

From the results it shows that olive oil is a bad conductor of electric charge and can be used in the fabrication of capacitors for effective capacitance, used as collant in transformers, used as insulators etc and its pose less enviromental danger when spill. Therfore olive oil is more efficient and economical to use than other mineral oil.

It might be a good idea to take the spillage as a good solid hint and advice to not eat or drink around your computer or keyboard. It could have been a lot worse.

So, of course, when we say salad oil, there is tomato juice, salad juice, parsley juice, less lemon and olive oil.

My computer is working as normal now. According to me, I removed 70-80% of the flowing fluid. But if it is in it, will it break my computer?

I saw on some forums that those who spilled sugary cola and sugary drinks did not have a problem. I want to feel good too

But it's always on my mind. What time is it at night, I can't sleep.
It could have been worse. This is how I amuse myself

The acids in those other juices are not a good thing if they are anywhere near any required electrical stuff... If they actually managed to penetrate that far... let's hope not.

Let's hope you are just as lucky... but there is no guarantee I'm sorry to say.

But do not let that bother your sleep and get your brain to spend its time thinking about pleasant stuff...
Did you know that sleep is more important and critical for your body than any food, water and nourishment??? Believe it or not.

I mean, I put tissue paper in here. It was sucking at first, but now there is no smell or liquid. It spilled over that side of the pink ring. I don't think it will go all the way to the very back. What do you think when yousee this photo?

What do you think when yousee this photo?

I have no idea and I am not familiar with the machine or what might be underneath what your picture shows that you attached, and every post you make about it seems to add a new condition.

So I hope for your sake, everything works out well and hopefully, you have good dreams about it all and learned something from the accident.
