[QUOTE="wizi, post: 1570697, member: 321845"] Yesterday night I spilled some beer on my macbook white(on the keyboard). I unplugged the cable 2 seconds after and the laptop turned off automatically(since I'm using it without a battery). I placed it upside-down in a sealed plastic bag with a lot of rice inside. I wanted to leave it like that for 2-3 days. However today I decided to open it to see how it looks inside. A lot of dust+beer = a total mess. The notebook is still wet inside(on the motherboard and on the fan etc) What do you recommend me to do now? I'm thinking to gently clean the dust, leave it another 24-48 hours to dry and finally to splash the keyboard and motherboard with some isopropylic alcohol. Is this a good approach? Any advices? Thanks [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/cIqJksE.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/ucHie07.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/IJpz52U.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
