Yesterday my little sister spilled water on top of my Macbook Pro while I was on it. I tipped it over and dried up all the water with paper towels, but I had no clue what else to do. Eventually it started working again and is working like it did before. Even though I didn't do anything but dry it off and give it a day to dry up any liquid inside, I searched the web to find out what you're really supposed to do.
1. Shut off power and disconnect charger
2. Tilt laptop upside down to keep liquid from running inside
3. Dry up the water the best you can
4. Remove battery
5. Let it dry for 3 days before turning power on

Thanks, that's good to know (even though I don't have a laptop I hope to get one someday).
no put the battery in uncooked rice
oh no!!!! if i did that i would never forgive myself!
Oh that sucks! Good thing it works tho.
I would probably have a heart attack if it stopped working hah! Good think it works :)
thanks for sharing. haha, i went through this the other day..however it was water damage to my screen and so yesterday I had to go to the apple store, where they've replaced the screen, and I'll be picking it up tomorrow *_*
i'm glad yours is fine!
hope all is well
thanks! I'll defintely keep this in mind. Cause water spilled on my sidekick :( and I didnt know what to do but to dry it off and it didnt work.
Lucky!!! I would scream if it happened to me
Lucky! I hope that never happens to my laptop.
How do you remove a built in battery?
Whew! Goodluck with that! It happened to me last time and worked again. :)
oh no.. i hope it okay still
You should also place it in rice because rice will aborb all the water =)
removing a bettery from a mac seems really hard to do. i have a mac and i know you cant just pop it out like any other computer
i hope it still works good...i love my macbook pro and would be pissed if that happened to it..thank god yours is still working
lol
Thats lucky :)
oh no! :( glad to hear it works though
