Liquid Damage Repair
What should I do if liquid is spilled on my MacBook?
Do not put in rice
Unlike small electronics such as phones, laptops have big gaps where rice can get inside and cause a lot more damage. Unfortunately there are still some sites that suggest putting your MacBook in rice after a liquid damage. This usually causes a lot more damage than the initial liquid damage incident. Your best action is to bring it in as quickly as possible.
Do not attempt to wait to dry
Remember that liquid itself may not be as conductive, but as it dries over time it leaves corrosion behind and thats far more conductive. This can happen in a matter of minutes, or hours or days. The sooner you bring it in, the better chances of recovering with minimal cost. Also please note that on most devices there is voltage present almost everywhere on the logic-board if the battery is still connected (even if computer is turned off). Your best action is to bring it in as soon as possible.
Do not put it upside down (liquid will travel)
Unfortunately this has been happening a lot, where clients put their computer upside down or in an angle and as a result, the liquid travels to parts it had not yet damaged, and it causes more damages. In many cases liquid also travels to the battery cells and screen board. If you experience a liquid damage, your best course of action is not moving it as much, keep the damage where it is and bring it in as quickly as possible.
