Hi!! I know this has been a very asked question and i know i am very stupid but I spilled milk on my macbook pro 13" retina display awhile ago around 12 am(its 2:10 am now) And probably half of the milk spilled directly to the air vent!!!! I have a rubber case for the keyboard so all of it went to the air vent and as soon as it went through it, it turned off!! I immediately wiped my laptop with a towel and because i was nervous af i tried turning it on but it failed. Please I am in desperated need for help. Though i’ve read a lot of threads that says its definitely dead. I am hoping that it could still be fixed. It means so much to me bc my dad gave it to me as a birthday gift :-( Yes I know i’m stupid and should have put away beverages near my laptop so I hope you wouldn’t point it out :-( hoping for a fast and good reply!! Thanks!!
If it turned off immediately afterwards, it is probably fried. If you turned it off and unplugged it and took the battery out afterward, then there is still a chance. Liquids do not damage electronics unless they are powered on. If it shut down on its own, there is little hope, I am sorry, and we can only learn from our mistakes. If you were quick on the draw and powered it down and cut the electricity to it, then take it apart and clean it up. Use alcohol as it evaporates and be very careful. The worst that could happen is that it does not help and you just learned how to take a Mac apart. You can always take the HDD out and hook it up to another PC or Mac and extract the files. Chances are that is good to go.
