[QUOTE="djiggins13, post: 1696784, member: 368095"] [b]Water spilled on 2009 MacBook Pro keyboard.[/b] Yesterday I accidentally sent a cup of water flying onto my computer keyboard. Now, the laptop was dead and I had just plugged it in to charge it 5 seconds prior to my clumsiness.

Since the damned thing is so old, warranty is out the window anyway, so I removed the back cover and put it in the typical "tent" position to dry. I'm leaving it in a well ventilated area with a plush towel underneath for at least 72 hours. Now, I'm perfectly aware of the dire nature of my situation. I don't need to be informed of this fact, but since it wasn't actually powered on could I possibly have a better chance of having an operable computer at the end of all this?
