MacBook Pro 13", Water spilled on keyboard, TWICE!

Is this a miracle or something that my computer has gotten water spilled, like I mean, flooded upon the left side of the keyboard and nothing has happened?
The first time it happened was almost a half full size cup of water and I didn't realize for about 10 seconds. When I saw it, I immediately flipped the computer upside down and it spilled right out. The computer turned off, and was restarted fine. The issue it had for the next 30 minutes was that the battery icon on the menu bar said Connected, but Not Charging.
This was fixed by plugging in the actual power adapter.
Second spill: Today!
About ten minutes ago, water spilled on my macbookpro again. This time it wasn't that much, and absolutely nothing happened to it.
Is there like an Apple Guardian Angel looking down on my Macbook pro? Haha
Or it might just be that this computer is super well-built; which I believe is true.
This computer refuses to have any problems. And when it does, they are fixed instantly.
This is why I love my Macbook Pro.

I hope that while this computer still works, you will quickly give it away to someone who appreciates it enough to take proper care of it. You are getting an absolutely false sense of security about your ability to abuse it without consequences, and that's bound to catch up with you soon.

How to turn on a MacBook Pro 15" from an external keyboard?

Greetings,
Is there a way to power on a MacBook Pro 15" from an external keyboard?
Insights and assistance appreciated.
Best regards,
Pierson

Nope. My setup is my laptop an external monitor with Bluetooth keyboard and trackpad. I keep the laptop lid shut. If I have to turn it on, I have to open the lid and press the power button. But I rarely turn it off.

MacBook Pro 13" Early 2011 Backlight Keyboard Not Working?! Software Problem...

So my "MacBook Pro 13" Early 2011" backlight keyboard hasn't been working. I have tried LabTick today, doesn't fix anything. Even in high or low lighting situations (dispite the Adjust keyboard brightness in low light being off) doesn't like to go on. It doesn't give me a circle with a cross like it does with that box checked in day light. It shows on the screen the
16 dots fully light after hitting F6 fully, just it doesn't light up. I one time had to reset my Mac OS at the Apple Store, it fixed the problem, but when I restored with a time machine backup, it went back to this software problem. How can I fix this?! What is wrong with my OS? Mountain Lion? How can I fix this?!

If it does not detect the display automatically, try going to system preferences>displays, click detect displays.

Macbook pro had coffee spilled on it 2 weeks ago, all works fine except monitor display.

Macbook pro had coffee spilled on it two weeks ago; all working fine now except for the monitor, display is dim and photos not appearing properly. Any suggestions? Apple said would cost too much to repair, anyone had any luck with outside repair facilities? thanks.

I would check with HP. Your scanner may need a firmware update and updated HP software. Start here:

Cleaning MacBook Pro Following Liquid Spill

Hi,
I managed to spill some green tea on my MacBook last week. I powered off, drained it immediately, and placed it in a bag of rice for two+ days. It is now working, but the keys are quite sticky when I type. Wondering if I should use rubbing alcohol or electrical contact cleaner around them to remove some of the residue? The logic board in the top left-hand corner (near the escape key) also has some visible residue, but all other areas appear unaffected. Any suggestions for safely and effectively removing this gunk?
Thanks!

No, I wouldn't do that. You can remove the keys individually (there's a how-video on YouTube, not on my MacBook right now so I can't link you but search for 'cleaning MacBook Pro keyboard' or something). Then you can wipe them off with water for instance. Might help getting rid of the stickiness...

My girlfriend's macbook pro got water damage, but her Skype seems to be active..

My girlfriend's Macbook Pro 13' got water damage and seems to have made her computer unusable, this happened three days agol. Since then she decided to not try using her computer to avoid ruining it further. But recently her Skype has been online and is even callable sometimes. Is this an indication of good news? What does this mean?

Liquid spills, why your MacBook chassis is a one-way valve for spills
After a substantial spill many people will turn their notebook upside down and shake it, not only does this not work, but it spreads liquid havoc throughout your machine and makes things often as bad as possible.
The keyboard itself acts like a one way valve in the case of a substantial liquid spill. While liquid pours into the bottom chassis easy, it does not come out easily at all, and in the case of any spill, most of it will not come out by turning it upside down. Disconnect all power and contact Apple for diagnostics and repair.
Do not attempt to, after a spill, ‘dry out your MacBook’ and test it
After a spill most people invariably try to “dry out” their notebook by various methods, including hair dryers and otherwise. This both does not work, and after a substantial spill of any magnitude, even if the liquid was water, residue is left behind.
There are additionally many very tight places inside your notebook where liquids will linger for a very long time, and cause corrosion or worse.
Immediately unplug your notebook and contact Apple for in shop diagnostics and parts replacement.
In the case of very minor spills people will “dry out” their notebook and feel success that their notebook is working ok, however invariably in nearly all instances after 4-14 days an error / fault pops up and is usually followed by more.
In case of a spill, damage estimates are impossible,.....anything can be fixed, without question.......the question is cost.
contact Apple for in shop diagnostics and cost estimation ....possible parts replacement.

Format Macbook Pro Hard Drive without a keyboard

HI, I have a macbook pro with a water damaged keyboard that I am selling for parts. I need to know if there is anyway to delete all of content and or format the HD without the use of an apple keyboard. I have a cheap external keyboard i am using that does not have the apple command and options key. Anyone have any ideas?

You could simply remove the hard drive.
Weather you choose to reformate it in an external enclosure would be up to you, if you think for parts it should be included.
You can buy a Apple bluetooth keyboard from Best buy and see if you can get it to connect, either way you have 15 days to return it.

How do I get the coffee stain out of my MacBook Pro screen? Spilled coffee on it e

I spilled coffee on my MacBook Pro this morning .... used the cool setting on my blow dryer for 20 mintues to dry out the keypad ....
Switched it back on in 4 hours .... everything works , except I now have a coffee stain behind my screen .... is there a way to absorb that out
or do I have to buy a new lid for my computer ?

You might have to have a new screen installed. It's not too expensive ($160) and it's DIY, if you have the right tools and skills.

Where can I buy a Macbook pro retina display with english keyboard in bangkok

Hi,
I am currently in Bangkok right now. I wanted to buy the new Macbook Pro with retina display. I went to Power Buy in Central world and found out that the keyboard for the macs have thai characters as well as English ones. I wanted to buy a mac with plain English keyboard. The guy in the store said that is only possible if I buy online.
Is there anywhere or any store in Bangkok where I could get the new macbook pro with an english keyboard? Thanks.

Since nobody in this forum represents Apple or any store, you will probably get better info on this by directly contacting stores yourself.

Brand new Macbook Pro not pairing with Apple Keyboard and mouse!

Hi all, I have a brand new Macbook Pro and an older wireless Apple Keyboard and Mouse (that were being previously used with my imac G5).
Now I want to use these for this macbook. I am finding that they are being recognised but not pairing up?
Do you need to stop the previous pairing with the imac before they will pair with the Macbook?
Or do I need to update specific software? (I would have thought it has all the necessary updates already installed).
I am running Snow leopard.
I have brand new batteries in the keyboard and mouse.
I really appreciate any helpful advice. Sorry if the answer is obvious!
Thanks

Hi there, i had a problem pairing an Apple wireless keyboard with my MacBook pro but managed to solve it.
The default passkey option in Bluetooth setup assistant is 'automatic' which will (if the MacBook can 'see' the keyboard in the first instance) then say something like 'your device may prompt you to enter the following passcode 1234 5678'
Obviously the keyboard doesn't provide any feedback - I went ahead and typed the number and hit the return key a number of times - the MacBook then displayed a 'pairing failed - you may have entered the incorrect passkey' message.
What i was doing wrong was keying only numbers - when i keyed 1234[SPACE]5678 + RETURN pairing worked.
I had thought the 'gap' in the passcode was to make it easier to read, not that it implied a space in the passcode.
Hope that helps.
Simon

My MacBook Pro has downloaded my old emails twice into my Outlook folder. Why? How do I stop this from recalling all the old emails?

My MacBook Pro has downloaded all my previous emails (several months worth) and reloaded them into my Inbox twice! Why is this happening? How do I get it to stop from happening again?
Thanks!

Since this is an Outlook question, you should ask over on the Microsoft Office for Mac forums.

Macbook Pro Retina and Older Bluetooth Keyboard Bug

I have the macbook pro retina and the older full size white bluetooth keyboard. When I wake the macbook from sleep mode, the keyboard repeats all keypress many times. Like the keys are sticky. Turning the keyboard off and on fixes this problem. I am running OS X 10.8.1.

I have the same problem with my older white Apple Wireless Extended Keyboard, which had been working fine with my 2009 iMac. But I experience the issue sporadically with my new Mac Mini. I've read reports of people resolving some BT issues by turning off "Allow Bluetooth devices to wake this computer" in the Advanced pane of the Bluetooth System Preferenes Pane.
There are also people having the issue on iOS devices using various Apple BT keyboards. No help, but interesting to note that it's happening across various devices, keyboard models, and OSs.

Macbook pro 17'' water damage... battery kindaaa works

Like a million other people asking questions on here...I spilled coffee on my Late 2011 macbook pro 17'' and encountered problems since. After the damaged I followed all the recommended steps to make sure I could try to limit any damage that has occurred...and was some what successful. I can still use my computer while its plugged in...A black x is in corner telling me no battery installed. This happened a year ago and Im still using the computer while plugged in. Ive looked into further fixing it and removed the logic board and cleaned it and it didnt change any thing. I have noticed that if I start the computer up, and then restart it I can remove the power cord while its rebooting and the computer will work unplugged. The black x is still there, telling me no battery is installed...but I am in fact running off batter power...Now I know I should consider myself lucky that I can get away with this but my question is, is there any other things I could look into to get this computer to give me correct battery information? New battery (even though it runs under battery power) or new battery connecter (even though its giving the computer power) or anything else along the line that is replaceable?
Some more info....Can not reset SMC, nothing at all happens...when running AHT the macbook freezes....After the reboot trick, if put to sleep with no power cord it wont wake up, BUT if restarted with no power cable it will boot up and continue to work without the power cord.
I am thinking theres a weird short somewhere in the logic board but didnt know if anything else could be faulty to causes this weird behavior.
After re reading that I know it can be difficult to follow, but if theres anymore info I could give let me know.
Thanks

This could be all or some of the above.
Unfortunatly electrons are considerably faster than humans, you did all all the right things, but us carbon based units are slow.
The battery/connections may have suffered damage, as well as the MagSafe port/connector/cable.
You can make an appointment at an Apple store Genius bar, and have it disgnosed, the diagnosis is free. They will then give you your options, as well as explain the extent of the damage. Unfortunatly liquid damage is the worst, they have the resources to do a full disgnostic, and deal with this everyday. This will at the least, the known extent of your issue(s) as well as the repair pricing.
It is impossible for anyone here to give you any further advice. (at least that I have seen)
I hope this helps you, and things work out in your favor.
I hope this helps
