[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1777687, member: 46727"] Welcome to our forums Kate. Do not turn on your MacBook Pro until you can get inside of it and determine if anything was shorted out from the water spill. As for the tools... since you do not mention where you are posting from, we can not recommend a place to buy them. Here in the US we would recommend going to [url]www.ifixit.com[/url] for instructions on how to take apart your MacBook Pro and buy the tools you will need at the same time. You also should be aware that water damage sometimes can take a while to appear especially if corrosion occurs on the main board or other components. The crackling sound you heard could have been the sound of a short occurring or the sizzling of water as it landed on hot components. Since it's rather late here (or early Monday morning) you probably will get more replies later in the day, so stay tuned. [/QUOTE]
