Fingers crossed that your quick thinking has saved your MacBook – or at least limited the damage!

If it does power up, then test your trackpad, all of the keys, Internet and Bluetooth connectivity, plus any other features you use on a regular basis.

Once your MacBook has completely dried, it’s time for the moment of truth! Try to power your MacBook back on and see if it works. If you own a fan, it may help to move it nearer to your laptop, as increasing the airflow can encourage any remaining liquid to evaporate. To help the drying process, you may want to place your MacBook somewhere warm, such as an airing cupboard, or near a source of heat, such as a radiator. The longer you can let your MacBook sit, the better, but 48 hours is the absolute minimum. Leave your Mac for as long as possible to give the liquid a chance to drain away completely. This may cause more damage to your MacBook. While it’s tempting to turn your MacBook back on to assess the damage, this can result in a current being transferred through damp components. This step may be painful, but leaving your MacBook in the tent position for a few days lessens the impact of any potential water damage. You can also try drying any ports or vents using a non-conductive instrument such as a cotton swab. If the exterior of your MacBook is visibly wet, it may help to wipe it with a clean, dry cloth.
