[QUOTE="firsttimeuser, post: 1454838, member: 275975"] I spilled some water on my new Macbook Air (3 months old!). There was less than 50 ml of water in the cup, and only a part of it spilled (I was able to have a few sips from the water remaining in the cup after the crazyness was over, haha). I think around 10-15ml of water actually spilled onto the laptop. It only spilled on the top right area of the laptop. Unfortunately, the laptop was on when it happened, although I powered it off immediately. While I was wiping the water away, it turned on (stupid on button being too easy to reach) and it looked fine. I turned it back off immediately. Since then, I've had a dry piece of paper towel wedged in between the keyboard and the monitor, and turned the laptop over from the closed position. After a while of that (the towel had a bit of moisture, but nowhere near dripping wet) I opened the laptop, and left it in front of a fan for 4-5 hours. When I swiped bits of paper towel underneath the keyboard, they came up completely dry. I plan to leave the laptop in front of the fan overnight (another 10 hours or so). Considering the spills are minimal, do you think I can use the laptop tomorrow? It will have been around 30 hours since the spill. Maybe more importantly, do you think my laptop is still alive?
