[QUOTE="adityavirmani, post: 1595038, member: 329755"] "Hey Guys I know you are going to hate me and send me all kinds of sarcastic comments but please help me out here. I had a liquid spill on my Brand new Retina Display 15" macbook pro. I immediately did shut it down and all of this happened within less than 5 seconds. The macbook did shutdown completely and let it to dry so I am guessing nothing must have had shorted. Anyways I let it dry in putting it upside down putting a towel to soak all the liquid and silica gel around it.

They said they will put it to dry for a week before turning it on again to see if it still works. My only guess is that since I was fast enough and shut it down nothing must have had shorted and it mite come back to life. At least that is what I am hoping. Could you please look at the pictures and from the look of them tell me your thoughts. I am quite concerned as this is primarily my work laptop and this was the only time I opened it up just to edit a few documents at home.
