Macbook got wet...

A soda spilled near my macbook causing the top plastic with the glowing apple to get wet, along with the side with my USB ports. It was off when the spill occurred, and the battery was taken out immediately. Do you think it will still work? My brother said it will most likely work. Right now its sitting on a dry table drying. It was never turned on after the spill.

Immediately make a Genius Appointment and take it in for a check. Improperly treated liquid spills may seem innocuous, but in time can damage your computer.

My MacBook Pro got wet and I need help?

We just had a different air conditioner installed above my computer desk. Even though my MacBook Pro was not on top of the desk it still got wet. It soaked through the desk straight on to the pullout computer shelf onto my laptop. We soaked it in rice for a week. We just pulled it out and nothing. The light on the battery won't even light up. Any suggestions?? Is there somewhere I can go for a miracle fix (I'm in Salt Lake City, UT) or am I totally screwed???

The only thing you can do is take the MBP to an Apple store genius bar or Apple Authorized Service Provider for diagnostics to see what damage the water did. There is nothing more a user can do than you have already tried.
Note: it is not a good idea to publish hardware serial numbers on an open, public forum.

My MacBook Pro got wet and I lost all of my childs photos from the day she was born. Is there anyway I could get these pictures back from my iCloud? I actually care more for getting the photos back than I do my laptop. Please help! Thank you!

Welcome to the Apple community khnkOliver.
I assume these photos, or at least not all of them weren't in photo stream.
You should be able to recover your photos from a back up.

My macbook air got wet and won't start up. Is it toast?

most likely. take it to an Apple store or AASP for a correct diagnosis. Expect a large extimate.

My macbook pro got wet and the battery light is still on but my macbook won't turn on. What's the problem?

My mabook pro got wet the other night, the battery light still works but my macbook won't turn on and should i just wait for it to completely dry up? Or what should i do to solve this problem?

Just face facts - if water (or any other liquid) reached you logic board or any other electronic components, you're going to be the victim of corrosion.
Eventually, you'll need to have the logic board replaced. There are liquid sensors all over your MBP and the techs can tell if these have been activated. I wouldn't turn the computer on at all - if it were me, I would take it to your local Apple Store/AASP and get an estimate for repair. Rice & other desiccates may 'dry up' the liquid, but it won't undo the damage already done.

Macbook wont turn on at all, I suspect it got wet

but I really dont know! water spilled on the table and I grabbed my ibook and thought I saved it from the water touching it, I saw no water on the macbook and I moved to another table and worked for a minute more and then closed it (sleep mode) and put it away. I really did not think it was wet until I openned it back up the next day and it would not turn on. I took out the baterry and let it sit for 2 days but still nothing.
I took it to the repair shop on Thursday. If i did get wet I am wondering if the apple center will be able to fix it and how much it might be? Anyone btdt?
I want to repeat that I really didnt think it got wet but it is a strange coincidence. If it did get wet I think the water may have come in thru the vent in the back and not from the keyboard. I did use it for about 2-3 more minutes after I moved to a different table so this is why I thought it did not get wet. I figure if it did get wet I probably fried it because I did not turn it off..
please someone give me some hope

My laptop got wet - battery icon now has a X inside and it is not holding any charge at all, anyone else dealt with this scenario?

My laptop got wet - battery icon now has a X inside and it is not holding any charge at all, anyone else dealt with this scenario?

The battery is not detected, so it means that the battery or the battery connector are not working, which is a serious problem.
Turn off your MacBook and take it to an Apple Store or reseller. It will be an expensive repair if your logic board has to be replaced. Read > https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-5511

My macpro buckled and broke up a year ago. A month ago got wet and I dried it near a heater. It froze and the mouse can not click the connection through. After three weeks I plugged in readjusted the date and it worked for about 20 minutes.. any idea?

My laptop macbook pro fell with me out of a truck and buckled last June 2012. It still worked although bent and open. A month ago it got wet and stop working and I dried it near a heater and it worked. The battery is dead. Then it froze on the screen the mouse can not grab the attention of the screen when it clicks. The track pad no longer responds and has buckled more. Then after three weeks of not touching it I plugged it in reset the date and connected and it worked. I began to back up my material and then it froze again.

Though the MBP may be disfigured, there is a real possibility that the HDD is still functional. Take it out of the MBP and place it in an enclosure and connect it to another Mac. You may be able to recover all of your data.
Ciao.

My iPhone 5s got wet, I kept it in rice for 10 days, then it worked perfectly for 2 days. Now it´s dead, won´t turn on.

My iPhone 5s fell in the toilet 2 weeks ago and it was in contact with water for 5 to 10 seconds. It almost immediately turned itself off.
After that, I didn´t turn it on again and left it in rice for 10 days.
After that, I turned it on and it was in perfect state. Everything worked. I couldn´t believe that it had survived so well. But the joy only lasted for 2 days. The third day I was using it after I had turned it on again, it started turning itself off. The first time, it turned back on by itself. The second time, a few hours later, I had to reset it. The third and last time, that same day, it never turned on again. It´s like it´s dead. It doesn´t react to anything.
I bougth it in February 2014. What are my options? Can they fix it if I take it to the Apple Service? Or do I have to replace it? And in that case, how much would it cost?, because now that it got wet it´s out of warranty.
Thank you for your anwer!

OK. And is it a sure thing that they will give me a replacement? Do they do replacements (for $269) when the iPhone has water damage? Also, my iPhone doesn´t turn on: would that be bad for them to consider a replacement?
Thanks again.

Tour got wet - here's what it does - how can I tell if it is "fried"?

My Blackberry Tour (from 2009 - Blackberry device manager says I am running BB OS 4.7.1) got wet in a rainstorm (phone was outside, not submerged, the wetness indicator strip on the battery has not had a line appear on it but a tab inside the phone is all red) approx. 5 days ago - I did some of what I should have done and some of what I probably should not have done as far as patience, lack of patience, letting it dry (in gentle heat (no hair dryer, etc. or rice), giving it a try... Here's what it does - my main questions are - do I have any hope of rescuing my contacts data - unfortunately, never backed-up? If so, how?:
- Without the Battery in: Connected by USB cable to my laptop (plugged-in, USBs powered) (Windows 7; Blackberry Desktop version 5 (installed from the CD that came with the phone)) finds the phone in Windows device manager (Blackberry Smartphone connected via USB), as above, Blackberry device manager shows status as connected, can identify the phone's PIN, Blackberry Desktop Manager can see that the phone is connected (can see it's PIN) but shows that the device is in Disconnected State, the screen on the phone shows the battery with red X through it.
With a Battery In:
- the battery with red X goes away,
typically starts with a red indicator light, then changes to black screen with hour glass,
- then to black screen with "BlackBerry" and progress bar (showing boot progress?).
- Boot progress bar completes,
- the screen shows the Verizon logo, then
- I get a flash (sometimes longer than others) of my desktop picture (it's one of the pre-loaded ones that is not on the micro-SD card, which I have removed).
- At this point there is a new progress bar which indicates that the phone is checking security settings (I cannot remember verbatim what it says, but it typically completes and, since I probably shouldn't be powering it on, I will not do that to get an exact quote; suffice to say, that usually completes).
- In terms of the desktop, I can also see that, in addition to my selected picture being there , the phone remembers my alarm time at 6:40AM).
- A couple of times when I restarted it, I held down the escape/back button during the boot and launched the phone in safe mode ("safe mode" appeared at the top of the screen - a dialog appeared that explained safe mode and allowed me to click "ok" that I accepted that I knew what safe mode was.
- Whether in safe mode or not, it usually at this point returned to the initial power-up sequence, in a loop, between the red indicator light and the hourglass animation - it does not return to the screen with the "BlackBerry" logo with progress bar, just the aforementioned loop.
At this point, I have tried two batteries - both Blackberry OEM, but with known/potential issues: 1.) the battery that was in the phone at the time it got wet - is approx. a year old (in terms of use), but was holding a reliable charge for 3-4 hours of talk time and
2.) an older battery which may have been the one that was replaced by battery 1 or may be older - it almost certainly had diminshed charge holding capacity and had started the bulge that lithium batteries develop as the near death. These batteries were not obtaining much, if any, in the way of charge while in the phone plugged in, but did, outwardly (light changed from orange to green on a Blackberry OEM charger form the D-X1 battery; have not done a test with a circuit tester, etc.), accept a charge via the outside the phone method. When using the inside the phone method - prior to any outside charging - during the boot-up process, at the point at which I could see my desktop, the indicator light flashed with the orange light and/or the indicator that one typically gets when the battery is lacking needs a re-charge).
I have received and I am currently charging a new D-X1 Blackberry OEM battery, via the aforementioned Blackberry OEM outside the phone charger, for a go-around with the closest thing that I can get to a no problems battery.
OK, I am an **bleep**: I tried to re-boot the phone right away, I wasn't doing a back-up (though I thought that it was 1.) the reason that I was buying a Blackberry with an SD card - that this information was going to be portable and 2.) that I thought that the tech from Verizon, way back when I bought it, set the phone up to store the information on the SD card (no such luck, not there) or the SIM card - how could I test that? (which is, perhaps, why I thought that a backup was taking place). Anyway, as you can tell, I have tried to be as descriptive as possible herein to say what I am seeing, because there are a number of other people with similar problems posting in various places, but, not really the same problems (they are getting stuck on a white screen, not getting all the way through the boot that I describe, had a phone in the pool all day, don't care about the data, just trying to save the phone (I was lax about an upgrade, because I liked my phone and I had a decent outlay of cash in the phone to start-off - was pushing to make it to this fall, hopefully not much longer, to get the newer Blackberry Classic coming out... hopefully with my contact listing being ported over). That said, I have found plenty of evidence that suggests saving the phone is a real possibility, but the data may be more of a challenge.
Huge post, looking for thoughts - thanks for any consideration given to my problems.

if booted up with out all the way dry you might have fried it
put it in a bag of rice for a few days in a nice warm spot 90-100 F
then try it again if it still does the same thing then its toast

IPod Touch got wet, died. I need my notes...

My iPod Touch got wet and it's gone. I can get to the screen (albeit dim) that shows the slider to unlock it but the touchscreen is unresponsive. The computer won't recognize it.
My main problem is I have some very important notes that I need.
Does anyone know how to get the notes from the backup file "data.syncdb"?

This might help:

Hi my iPhone 4 got wet , will apple replace it at a discounted price in ireland? If so where do I take it to be replaced or repaired?

Hi All ,
My phone got wet not dropped in water but left out in the rain. Now it will only power up if connected to the wall charger and then i can enter my unlock code .After this it says Activation Required , connect to itunes. It says 100% battery but no service .When I remove the usb lead from the wall socket to connect to my pc the phone dies.Then when i connect it to the computer the apple comes up on my iphone and nothing else just the apple then blank then the apple then blank in a continuous loop.itunes doesnt start when i connect the iphone to my pc and it doesnt show as connected in itunes either. The sim in the phone is also damaged as when i removed it to put in another phone it didn't work or wasnt recognised. When I brought it in out of the rain the speakers were making a crackling noise but they have stopped this now .Also the camera lenses were a little clouded with moisture but they have since cleared .
What to do ? Apple dont cover water damage (the phone is only 8 months old) so do I have to buy a new Iphone at full price or will they like in the states replace it at a discounted price. If they will replace it will I be able to get a 32gb as they only sell Iphone 4, 8gb now in the apple store
All help appreciated.
BB.
