Bro - if I spilled coffee, I don’t have 2 hrs to watch a video.
Make a 5 min version of this. Straight and to the point.
Real because this is BULL SHIT
1. It’s not 2 hours, it’s 27 minutes. Hyperbole doesn’t help you when you’re complaining.
2. Watch it on double speed. 13 minutes is worth it if it saves you over €1,000.
3. Use the time you save to reconsider where you place hot drinks in proximity to your expensive tech in future.
4. Eat some humble pie, rather than whingeing at someone offering free advice for a range of circumstances.
Thank you so much for making this video. Very helpful. I hope my MacBook survives
Thank you for taking the time and for let me know that you found it helpful.
Thank you so much for the information, very helpful video! 🙌🏽
Thanks for the info- but May I make a suggestion- give the remedy 1st- the what not to do!
I like the way you explain everything. GOD bless you.
Thank you :)
Thank you so much our dear brother for your explanation. God bless you.
God bless you as well for that nice comment and for taking the time :)
Mother’s Day here in the uk and my 4 year old has spilt half a cup of hot chocolate on my MacBook Air 2013. I was shuting it down anyway so I’m not sure if it was the liquid that turned it off or when I shut it down. My mom told my to do the tent position as a dive I listened as I was cook our food it had been that way for a good 3 hours. I’ve found this video and done what you said and no very worried is messed up 😭😭
Hey did it end up being okay? I just spilt coffee on mine :(
😅😅😅😅
I just poured some tea on my keyboard and put it into a tent position 😅. After I removed the water, the laptop was still working, but the trackpad was not as responsive as it used to be plus I cannot press it down. After another 30mins, I can press it down but a quarter of the trackpad is still not responsive. What do you think I should do sir?
Thanks for this, accidently dropped the milk pourer into my coffee at a coffee shop and it splashed my macbook, over some of the keys and the right speaker, most went on the table. It didn't turn off so I wiped it immediately and turned it off. Unfortunately, it kept turning back on (it's always done that), changed the setting and powered down. I had to take it home so it was in my bag, got to wait another 24 hrs. Hopefully, all is good.
thanks for this!
No problem, I appreciate you taking the time :)
Gi I smiled a bit of water on my macbook I accidentally plugged it but quickly unpliged it it seem to work ot is a bit Fifty what do I do

Hello. my Mac doesn’t have sound on it after I spilled water on it. How can I fix it?
So it's okay to use ultra thin keyboard protectors for new macbook models? I thought apple advised against it
They told me the same thing and I'm regretting it because my cat knocked over a 32oz cup of sweet tea all over my keyboard a little while ago. I just paid to replace the entire bottom half the computer which is the processor, trackpad, and keyboard. I dried it, but it won't stay turned off.
I spilled some Dr Pepper on my MacBook while it was on. It didn’t shut off but the noise to the video I was watching turned off. I immediately ran to get a towel and then turned it in tent position for like a minute until I found this video, then I put turned off the computer and then put it keyboard facing down like you said. It accidentally turned back on, so it’s working but I’m afraid of long term damage. How long do you think I have till it’s too late
i just spilled water on macbook and found this video. i am planning to do what he suggested and come back later on with the result. wish me luck guys!
Me too
How did it go??
I left my laptop open on my desk overnight went to bed woke up however the water got into it on the back side so would it still be fixable ? I think water got through the side and through the back. Could I just unscrew it.? I also tryed to charge it and turn it on when I first noticed it I didn’t know laptop now thanks for video very helpful
sorry for the late reply, crazy week :) all good?

hello master yesterday i spilled black coffee on macbook pro so result is that the keyboard keys are not working properly, as per your experience what should i do"?
My MacBook is charging but won’t turn on what do I do in this case
Hi I spilt liquid on my macbook keyboard and it screen turned off and it shut down by itself straight away, I'm currently letting it dry by leaving it upside down with a fan safe distance away. It has been just over 24 hours. I'm port severn just north of Toronto but have no transport to get to you
Hi thanks for a wonderful channel and wonderful videos. Can I ask a question. How will I know what voltage a macbook component should be at for it to be working? I can't find a list on the schematics which shows this nor on the .brd file. Many thanks
Thank you for the nice comment.
As far as I go the only way is to compare it with a working logic board.
What if the Mac book screen doesn’t shows any but still on
Hey Hamod! Thanks for the video. I spilt a chai tea on a small area of upper right keyboard. It’s hanging upside down (as of writing this comment). When should I take out the keys and wipe underneath?
You should wait at least 24 hours before moving it around or more if you can (especially if the MacBook is still working).
my acreen has some visible mark due to spill but key bordworks fine.
Thx
My trackpad is not working properly, I’m going crazy right now. 😢
I need a little help here. I spilled a drop of water on the ESCAPE key. Now i turned it off after like 10 seconds. And put it upside down. I did wipe the water drop with a towel. Now is it possible that this little drop of water can be a problem for my laptop or it will still work. I turn it off and put the laptop upside down with a towel in between the screen and keyboard. Should i wait for 2 days for just this drop of water to get evaporated completely
your Mac working fine now ?
Ok so i have a dell latitude, coffee spill, turned it off immediately and dried it ASAP, HOWEVER it turned back on and i checked all the the keys, working, touch pad, working, i even removed the key where the most coffee was and it was fully dried. ( and it was never plugged in )
The laptop however is working but I don’t know how long i should leave it to the side
It worked a bit slower and the fan was a little louder
Anyone can help?
I spilled accidently ice cream on my key board.i don’t know what to do tho.
Iam a dj i spilled beer on right side on keyboard i dried soon as i could and dry out 3 days macbook works fine after. Did i get lucky or am i screwed
Thank you very much very informative video. I have spilled very little water like less then a quorter of a cup on the side of my keyboard. I imidiately dryed it with a paper absorbing towl and filiped it as you said. I also shut it down. Im letting it sit like this for more then 48 hours.. do you still think i need to cheak it in apple care? If its still turns on
It would not hurt if you have apple care plus, not sure if apple care covers liquid damage were you are but in Canada it does not.
@@HamadBenaicha thank you for answering. Yeah it's not covering I'm from Israel, but i thought that maybe because of the corrosion in the long run i should take it
If after spilling coffee on macbook pro m2 and it works ok after 48 hrs do i justresume using it or have it checked?
Is it still working
spilled half a cup of water over my M2 15 INCH brand new macbook the keys seems to not be as bright before despite keyboard brightness being turned all the way up am i just crazy or can this really happen?
Hi Hamad!
I have a special case for you.
Could you share your expertise with me? Don't want to dump my years old, most reliable Macbook.
MacBook Pro Retina 13" A1502 from 2013 I guess.
I spilled water over it about 6 month ago. It still worked for a couple of days without any problems. I only had to plug in an external keyboard as the original one was dead as a result of the water. All well, I roughly did the steps you recommend. I carefully removed the water with a towel and afterwards with a vacuum cleaner (not sure if the vacuum was a good idea, what would you say?). Towel. Upside down overnight. It still worked.
The Problem:
There was a moment, when the battery went empty. And the "ON-Button" of the external keyboard (win) does not trigger the MacBook to start. So it did not start it since then. Now, as I have time, I want to repair it. Which means I want to change the keyboard.
Do you think, changing only the keyboard will fix the problem?
Or do you think, it could has worked back then, but now after this long time the water has destroyed other components?
I would be exited to get an answer from you.
regards from Bavaria
Hello, the A1502 are probably the most reliable MacBooks, an easy you can tell if it's only the keyboard is remove the back cover, unplug the battery, unplug the keyboard and plug it to power and if it's only the keyboard the MacBook will turn on automatically by itself, if it does, it's a good news and just replace the keyboard and you should be good to go. Hamad
Very informative. What do you do when some keys are not working due to tea spillage?
if they do no longer register when you press them, the only way it to replace the keyboard.
My mac was on but i turned it off and after I accidentally turened it on
The screen is not working😢
Hello, thanks for such details information, i spilled lot of water on my keyboard, and immediately dry it out and put its in a wrong position like a tent, i hope i watch your video before all these happened, but anyway i was able to turn it on, and everything working fine except few alphabet on my keyboard is not typing correct 😢 should i continue to dry it out in the right position? Will it be ok after 1 or 2 days?
you will most likely have to replace the keyboard, if that's all the problem, you got pretty lucky.
Help. Yesterday, I had some Lysol wipes in my bag and I think the liquid from the package came out an got into my MacBook Pro. I turned it on just to see if it was okay. It played fine for awhile so I thought it was fine. Now, it has a green tint on most of my screen. Sigh. I've turned it off and have the keyboard facing down. Any suggestions at this point? Does it sound like a costly repair?
It's hard to tell depending on the year and the model but it will definitely need some repair.
I spilled sugary coffee, mostly milk and put it on a tent position for some hours. After watching this i did as you said, what should i do?
The best thing is to have it checked by a professional before trying to turn it back on.
What position then?
Hey
The screen has fevicol fluid. Pls tell me how do I remove it ?
Just spill a cup of big cup hot water on the keyboard on a 2016 Macbook pro and it shuts down in split second.
I used everyday. what the best you suggestions thank for you feed back.
You should have it checked ASAP
Hi, I just spilled coffee with milk and sugar on my MacBook today and I immediately followed all these steps and flipped it over to dry. It’s been sitting for a couple of hours now, but should I keep it upside down like that for 2 days or should I just bring it to apple today to have it checked?
Depending on how much there was, if it was not too much wait at least 8 hours before moving it.
My bad, I'm watching this after the water damage, I accidentally spilled some water on my MacBook Air keyboard and I did the waste thing, I used the hair dryer to heat up the keyboard. After 2 days while using the MacBook the right shift key is continuously pressing. I don't know what to do (ps - in my country there no apple authorised repair centres)
Unfortunately if it continuous to happen you might have to replace the keyboard.
Hey sir, my little sister dropped juice onto my laptop (a few months ago) and whenever I charge it the charging blinker works but I cant turn on the lap top. Is there anyway to fix this?
You'll have to have it checked by someone who specializes in MacBooks, it is hard to tell without looking at it more closely.
Hello. I spilled some coffee on my NEW laptop..it wasn't too much, bcs the coffee had a cover for coffe to go, but there were some few drops tho on a small part of the laptop. I immediately erease it with toilet paper and it was perfectly good, I mean it doesn't look like it was damaged, but Idk, cuz it happens a day ago. I didn't turn off the laptop...I was still navigate on him, I know, a big mistake, I should've turn it off, I didn't realize. But it is a chance that it will be good? Its a new one :(((( an Asus Tuf for gaming. I am so stressed, I worked so hard for this laptop and it was a stupid mistake. If anyone knows what should I do or if you can tell me if there's a chance to be alright, I will be so happy. As I said, it was nothing wrong with him after that. I let it dry and I didn't turn on the laptop anymore. I want to let it like this for another day and then try to see if its still working.
Hey i spilled orange juice all iver my keyboard. I dont know if the keys are working since its saying my passwoert is wrong even tho its definitely not. Everytime i use the mouse on the macbook it makes weird sounds if i press it and now i cant press it at all like its stuck. I can still turn it on tho. Any help please!!
Have it check, there is definitely something wrong with either the keyboard or mouse but that weird sounds is not good, don't wait too long.
Hi I spilt red wine on the trackpad mostly. I mopped it up and continued using it, then a few hours later the trackpad stopped working when I closed the lid and opened it again a few mins later. I’ve now put it upside down as you instructed. How long should I wait?
Hi ya. Could u please to tell about how is it now? When u put it upsidedown, did any drop of red wine come out?
@@talkthatshh no droplets came out. Trackpad still not working. I’ve ordered an external mouse hoping that works! Any other tips? Thanks!!
Hello! Should I still make it a concern if I spilled a little water only on the centre of the keyboard without hitting the sides or spacebar? It mostly got on the G key and around it but I instantly wiped the water off. The thing is after that I turned it upside down to shake it, but no water came out. So am I okay?
Is it working fine now or not ?
@@Nik-rt6fc Yeah after i dried it to make sure it was fine
Please help! I spilled a mixture of melted ice and soda onto the keyboard of my Mac while it was asleep (only a little bit). Flipped it on its side to dry out and left it for days. It turned back on but is slow and fan runs on high. Charges fine, no damage to keys or screen. Turned off and let it sit for several weeks. Should I open the back and clean the logic board with alcohol to make sure there’s no sugar remaining/corrosion l? Will the fan running on high damage it?
Check on it again to see if it’s working
I already shut it down and closed the lid BUT I HAD TO OPEN IT AGAIN TO POSITION IT CORRECTLY FOR THE GRAVITY AND THEN IT TURNED ON AGAIN 😭
I have the same problem. After forded shut down it is opening by himself. What to do? How even it is possible after total sur down?
@@mashalashangry2438 just turn it off again and NEVER TOUCH IT FOR 2 DAYS

@@joohxv i spilled acetone and it was a big spill, my mac is doing great still 🤞🏻🥺
@@_fffeline my keyboard is not working now, you happened this?
Hi Hamad, thanks so much for this. I experienced the unfortunate thing a few hours ago when I was on the train and had my full water bottle spilled over my bag. I immediately took out my MacBook Pro (in fully shut down condition) while still on the train, and had the lid opened as I wanted to urgently dry it as much as possible only with my tshirt. As soon as I opened the lid, it got automatically turned on though I know I should avoid it but it just happened.
-
As soon as I reached the next station, I immediately approached a toilet to find a hand dryer (it wasn’t the hot air one, but more like cool blower) to dry it. I started to realize that my MacBook wasnt turned on anymore and I spontaneously tried to press the power button to ensure if this was fully affected, and nothing happened. It’s fully not working as I pressed the power button.
-
As soon as I got home, I put it in the tent position as I read most of other articles/videos suggested for around 30 mins, then I switched to upside down position as you suggested after I found your video just now, and will try to keep it for the next 2-3 days, I put it in front of a fan and under an AC.

Do you think I’ve done the right thing as it happened? This is my corp laptop and I’m so sad cause I wouldn’t get a MacBook anymore as a replacement if this is fully damaged. Your feedback is appreciated, thanks so much Hamad!
Same thing happened to me, it worked at first then shat down, any updates? I’m sure if I take to apple they will charge its original price for repair
Update: it didn’t work even after >50hours. I believe this would be caused by it was turned on automatically as I opened the lid, then I didn’t immediately force shutdown. Now the laptop is fully damaged and returned to my office. Pretty sad
I’m sure mine is the same💔😢
@@FarahAlfarajat Unfortunately it didn't work at all. Lessons learned is that once it's spilled, we need to force shut it down. Good thing I got a new laptop replacement from the company
Logic board on my laptop was not affected, I paid $200 to fix and it works as good as new!
Hello, yesterday I spilled a bit of soda on my keyboard and trackpad. I tapped it right away with a paper towel. The screen did not turn off right away. So I turned it off myself. I flipped it over like you said. This morning I quickly turned it on to see if it works. The mouse is not working and I can’t type my password. Also the fan was going and it would sometimes turn on itself. Idk what to do next. Any suggestions?
Unfortunately you will have to have it looked at, most likely a simple fix and it's just your trackpad that is bad
Hello same thing happened with me what shoul I do
I spilled redbull on the keyboard cover, and I panicked so I removed the cover spilling the liquid on the speakers :”)

Hi, some water get into my laptop screen. Only some water image is coming on the screen otherwise it works perfectly. Kindly help me in knowing how to get the water evaporated from the laptop screen?
As you probably saw it in my video, there is no much you can do to remove the stains or evaporate the liquid from inside the LCD if the backlight are stains... sometimes (very rarely) the stains disappears with time but that's very rare.
I have a 2020 Mac Book Pro and I have Soda on my Mac. I clean it up for now BUT i still have my keyboard sticking. I have a person to knows the Mac and how can I fix the problem.?

You can replace the keys gently one at the times and clean them in warm water with soap and them put them back gently but you have to be careful as they are some techniques on how to remove the keys, each model is different.
Hello I spilled a little coffee on my mackbook air and I panic I didn't off it went off by itself within 10mins what should I do?
You should have it checked by a pro, just to make sure all is good
Hello sir today I accidentally spilled coffee on my keyboard and I panicked and dried it quick but!! I ended up shaking it thinking it wouldn’t spread in the screen and now there is a small amount in the screen and I do not know what to do please help!!
You have to let it dry, don't move it anymore and have it checked by a professional.
why don’t make water resistant?! Like the phone
Considering the cost of Macs they should be spilled resistant. But most of laptops have holes for cooling and they're not unrepairable garbage like MacBooks, so they have additional holes between keyboard and frame, between top and bottom cover and between other components. However there is drainage holes under keyboard on some laptops as I know.
What do I do if when I put it on the keyboard it turns on
That's a very good question that I should have covered in the video, unfortunately the 2018 models and newer turns on by themselves if the keyboard is touched, that you can try to do is gently press the power button and hold about 10 seconds until it turns off and gently put it down
hi, i spilled milk on the keyboard not really submerged the whole thing. really minimal. then i wipe with kitchen paper. the mac still works. but i’m afraid the milk might do a neg effect to my device. should i go to the center still?
Based on my experience, milk is not very bad as it tends to crystalize fast and dries out, but it never hurt to have it checked.
Hi, I hope you are okay, I have same problem as you and I want to know is your mac still working probably or not ?
Thank you
Is it working still?

In 2018 I spilled coffee with powder cream and sugar on my 2012 mbp keyboard and it broke it and I had to get a new keyboard and hard drive. They told me my hard drive was fried and I had sentimental Ableton projects on there with songs I had released. I no longer have the stems to these projects because they’re on that hard drive. My question is, is there anyway to fix my old hard drive and recover my old ableton projects? If money wasn’t an issue, is there someone who could recover my data?
I don't do that but google "Data Recovery Center" they specialize in that.. Just make sure to ask for the price upfront and what happens if they can not recover your data, do they still charge you or not? Just make sure to ask upfront.

Will the sprinkling of very small droplets of water in my MacBook Air M1's keyboard and touchpad ruin some electronics of my MacBook Air M1 laptop? Thank you!
it all depends where the liquid lands on, sometimes MacBook come in with water everywhere and they are still fixable and sometimes with just a drop around the CPU controller and not fixable. it's hard to tell.
@@HamadBenaicha thank you sir. But in your opinion sir, do you think some electronics of my MacBook Air M1 has sustained damage because its keyboard and touchpad were sprinkled with small droplets of water?

hello, i spilled water on my 2015 macbook air, while it was on & i was using it. i didn’t have anything connected to it, so i just immediately turned it off by holding the power button & then i flipped it upside down, and i put a towel under the keyboard. i wasn’t able to see if it got into the vents, i just reacted really fast & i flipped it upside down, then wiped the keyboard. i feel like my only option now would be to wait until the water evaporates, and hope that there’s no damage, but i’m wondering how long i should wait? i saw in your video you said a max of 48 hours.. but i’ve seen on other places online that it can take a week to fully evaporate- should i just wait 48, or should i go longer? i don’t mind waiting longer, i just want the macbook to be okay.
Yes if you can wait a bit longer even better, but don't let it go pass a week, because if there is a problem you don't want to wait too longer either.
@@HamadBenaicha thank you!
@@giannacantread update?
@@glennshibu5776 hi! yes, so i ended up waiting 7 days, and the macbook was completely fine with no damage at all. i just kept it upside down (with the keyboard resting on a wool sweater, to soak any water that came out) for those 7 days and it turned out fine! i was really worried because it felt like it would turn out to be major damage, but it did turn out okay. i think the main reason is because the vents on a macbook that old are placed on the bottom of the macbook, while i spilt water on the keyboard. and i guess i was just lucky that the water inside the keyboard got out good enough to not ruin it.
@@giannacantread thank you for the response
Awww I did everything you said not do, i plugged back the charger I tried to shake it out the water I turned it the wrong way and sadly I use a dryer to try removing the water inside before seeing your video I guess it’s too late 😢
It depends mostly on what model you have, some will go on and on and will die especially the latest model, but only time can tell.

I spilled water on mine, its been drying for around 30 hours now I checked the MacBook and everything works but the keyboard backlit is dimmer, I also ran a diagnostic and it says everything is fine, what do you think the chances of it surviving are?
it depends on the model of the MacBook and where you spilled the water. Did you removed the back cover and unplugged the battery and see if there is any water inside?
@@HamadBenaicha Its the MacBook air from 2020, I didn't have the proper screws to get the back cover off but I let it dry until today, and the water spilled near the trackpad and spacebar area, everything works but still the backlit is dimmer
I spilled water while laptop was on then I turned off as fast as I could i dried it with cloth and put it in sun for 15minutes then dried in shade fo r 4-5 hours . Then I took it to to a shop there he opened it and blowdried it The laptop was working properly So can I use my laptop or should I let it dry for 2 days? Please i am really confused
Blow drying it won't completely get raid of the liquid or humidity, if you can wait another 48 hours it would be safer especially that it is still working.

*UPDATE* turned on my mac after about 58 hours, still works!! Didn't do much, just typed password, opened few windows, seems to be working fine 💖💖
A few years ago, I spilled a some black coffee, a quarter cup at most I think, on my late 2105 MacBook Pro keyboard. I did some correct things like turning it off and towel drying what was on the surface. Unfortunately, I think I did a few wrong things also, like shaking it, not putting it upside down right away, and using a fan to try to dry it faster. I didn't use the laptop for a couple of days and tried to let it dry on it's own with the help of the fan. After that, everything seemed to be working okay as far as I could tell, but about 2-3 years later, three of my keyboard keys quit working, the U, I and O keys More recently, my H and N keys also failed. Wondering if liquid damage can cause problems like this to occur years later or if this is an unrelated problem? Thank you so much for making this video though, and If I ever spill anything on my laptop again, I'm now armed with the knowledge of what exactly to do and not do.
Hello Luther, based on my years of experience and all the MacBooks that I have fixed, sometimes the corrosion took 6 months or more to damage chips or the wires underneath the keyboard, your keyboard will need to be replaced, there is no other way around if when you press a key and it does not register.
Hi, I wiped my Mac book screen with glass cleaner and straight away my lap top turned off and is not coming back on. 😢can u help me please in this case?
I have seen it many times, it looks like a drop went inside the LCD circuit and may have damaged your LCD, you'll have to have it checked by a professional, you can check if you press the "Caps Locks" key and if the light comes on, most likely the LCD is dead.
@@HamadBenaicha ahh thank you. Yes I pressed the caps lock and the light came on. So do i understand that my laptop and all my work and files will still be safe and it is only the screen that needs changing? Is this something anyone can fix or does it need to be fixed by Apple? And is it costly to fix the LCD? Thank you SO much for your help.
i think it went in the lcd or something and then i put it in tent is it fucked tea spilled through trackpad wiped up after 2 seconds
i also shook it and blew air
@@spanishjohn420 update?
@@glennshibu5776 took it apart dried it out and cleaned the removable parts inside with alcohol rub and put it all back together and it worked and has been fine ever since
@@spanishjohn420 thank you for the response, I just spilled water on my hp laptop keyboard and currently stressing out, I’m leaving it to dry overnight rn
Considering the cost of MacBook and how they don't care about cooling I wonder why they're not spill resistant
Hi professor. Im from Vietnam, in my country M1 is one of the most luxury models and I decided to buy it last month after many months working so hard. But damn I did spill some hair treatment oil on the right side of keyboard surface (including the speaker). I did turn it off and put it upside down. What should I do now…. please reply me 😢😅
After 2 hours I turn on and check, everything seems quite ok but im
not sure…
You should have it checked by a professional to make sure there is no liquid damage on the logic board before turning it on.
I did turn it on and have used it up til now, for 3 days TT
Any update? I have same problem like you?
Hi I spilt hot milk on the complete dashboard/keyboard of macbook pro..it was on and the screen started to flicker as i proceeded to turn it off immediately..now idk if the power went off bcuz i did it or it was due to the milk reaching the circuit. I'm currently waiting for it to dry completely (wil let it dry for abt 72 hrs) plz suggest things that can be done..shud i wait, visit a professional, what to do??
If it's only milk with no sugar (milk) is generally not bad as it will crystilize, just wait 24 hours before trying it again or moving it, but it would still does not hurt to have it checked by a professional if you can before turning it on.
@@HamadBenaicha it had sugar in it😭 the buttons have become sticky can feel it when i press them. I'll be taking it to my company's IT cell on Monday,anyways (yes it was my work laptop 🥲)
@@HamadBenaicha thanks for the advice btw🙏and do u think I shud try powering it on after sufficient time has passed without taking it to a professional?? Wud it be risky? Plz help
In that case let it dry for 24 hours and have it checked before trying to use it again.
@@HamadBenaicha ok thanks
Someone put cartons of prune juice on my €2,500 custom PC, the juice ran down into the cpu, motherboard, graphics card, sound car and psu.
It’s now with a specialist trying to save it.
I hate people.
Hello i just spilled ice tea on my keyboard. I did all the steps you said, im just wondering if ice tea is will do more negative than water or milk? Also my fans are still working but the screen is just pitch black. Please help i just got this a few months ago😢
Hello Josh, it looks like the backlight circuit is burned, it's not a big deal it is fixable, you just have to take it to a place that can fix it. Are you in Canada?
@@HamadBenaicha yes I am in canada, but the nearest apple store is 2 hours away. Do you think best buy can fix it?
Please look underneath your MacBook and let me know the model number, it starts with the letter A
Its A2338, by the way i tried turning it back on and it turns on i hear the entry sound. But its just pure black. Is it still fixable? How long can can it wait to be fixed? It also charges fine, i hear the sound when you charge it, the thing is the screen is just black
It's hard to tell by I'd say it's a 50/50 chance as the macBook is on but the screen is black, it's possible that the GPU might be dead, if that's the case it's no fixable.
I turned it in multiple timrs after i spult it
What happened 😭😭I'm scared
If the computer is functioning after drying out a half cup of water, is there still a risk for corrosion long-term?
yes it's possible if there was liquid damage on the logic board, hard to tell until you look at it closer
@@HamadBenaicha Thank you!
@@hannahk650 update?
@@glennshibu5776 unfortunately my computer is about 10 years old so it’s not worth it for me to pay someone to open it up. It’s working for now and I’m just hoping for the best long-term, good luck with your computer! 🤞
@@hannahk650 thank you 🙏, I just spilled water on my hp laptop keyboard and I’m letting it dry overnight now with the keyboard facing down.
I spilt milk on a piano what can I do?
Fucking hell I had a can puncture in my backpack a few days ago and was most worried about the charger as it was soaked but it worked after being in rice, but my MacBook seemed fine after. Just put it on the charger and it wouldn’t charge best I can get is it registering but battery not charging. I hope yhe fact I didn’t try to charge it until 3 days after it happened. I did pull it out of my backpack to dry
my laptop is working fine (the speakers the keyboard and the mouse pad) but should i still wait 2 days and put my loptop in a tent posistion?
Update???
May I have an update on your situation?
@@randomaussie5493 i know it's not for me. but my macbook is working fine after 2 days. :) followed the advice
@@_fffeline thanksss and mines working fine too now :))

Just want to say thank you SIR for your time greatly appreciate it 🫡 . The sound is back, i watched your video and i put my MacBook upside down for two days and boom 💥 shaka-laka. Thanks again.
God Your video should be nunber 1
Do not put any laptop in a tent position... don't ask me how I know
I spilled like half a cup milk on left part of keyboard, on the left speakers and some keyboard. My macbook is working fine, what should i do?
Hey i have spilled soda (1 sip) in similar place and its working for now. What is your MacBook update? I'm thinking to take it to repair guy and open it and check if some of it got inside. I hope you machine is working fine
@@azamkhattak4136 i got it checked just by removing back panel and there was no signs of water damage and it is working fine. Though initially it smelled awful due to that milk spill
@@sehejwahla5437 I also took it to the repair guy and they said minimal side was found but it didn't touch the motherboard or anything. Its working fine for now. Thanks
