[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 1434123, member: 24098"] I understand and appreciate your concern. Unfortunately, liquid exposure is a complete crap shoot and the advice in the first post applies nearly universally. The best thing you can do is to let the machine dry out, removed from power, for as long as possible. The result is anybody's guess. Best case scenario is that the machine behaves normally once the liquid dries. Worst case is that one of several, very expensive components is shorted out or damaged in some way. In all cases, the machine is no longer covered under warranty unless it is repaired by Apple or an Apple Authorized Service Provider (AASP). Unless the machine is very new, the repair will typically exceed the value of the machine. This is just one of those things that is better prevented than trying to recover from. It stinks, I get it, but it's a fact of life with computers. [/QUOTE]
