Spilled a drop of milk under my MacBook Pro spacebar

would you say im fine if its working perfectly?
Speculation on my part or anyone here  on same.
As reference, there have been MANY people who did the same as yourself, .....let it "dry" for a while,.....turned it on.... worked fine for a day or more, then whoops a glitch appear.
Dry doesnt = removal or residue.   There are more dry residues that can damage electronics than I could list. Luckily milk is mostly water.......mostly.

  • I spilled milk tea on Macbook Pro

    I spilled milk tea on Macbook Pro and few drops went inside audio and one USB port. Both are not working. What should I do? Someone suggested cleaning it using nail polish remover. Will it help?
    It's 13 inch Macbook Pro late 2011 model.
    Thanks.

    I wouldn't use acetone at all (nail polish remover). I wouldn't think that cleaning the ports would do any good anyway. The ports probably shorted out and are simply not going to be useable -> you would have to get a new logic board to fix the problem.
    Liquid and electronics are a bad 'mix'.
    Sorry,

  • Spilled water over the keyboard of my MacBook Pro.

    Spilled water over the keyboard of my MacBook Pro. 13 inches. Used paper and dried it straigt away, it was working fine. Now, a few days later, my left shift-button, the ctrl-button and right-arrow button do not work. What can I do to try to fix this?
    My Mac is working completely fine. It was maybe 0,5 dl of water...

    Nothing that you can do to fix it. Best to just leave it off and take it to your local Apple Store or AASP. No telling how much it's going to cost you - there are liquid sensors all around your computer so the service centers will be able to tell that it's a case of liquid damage, even if there is no corrosion yet.
    You just have to be careful with any kind of liquids around notebooks - liquids and electricity just don't play well together.

  • Graphical error with drop shadow on new i7 MacBook Pro 13"

    I have noticed a problem on my new MacBook Pro with the drop shadow on my finder and application windows. Difficult to describe but a picture will let you see what is happening.
    As you move a window around it kind of "erases" the shadow behind it.
    This behaviour is not specific to xPad or Terminal (both of which were running when I took this screenshot). I've seen it on Firefox and when a Finder window is in the foreground. Usually selecting a screen in the background fixes this but it is unusual and I have some concerns especially as this machine is only about a month old.
    Any idea? Or has anyone seen this before?

    I have the exact same problem, but only when I hook my macbook pro up to an external monitor.
    My post is displayed here https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3276589
    Could you do me a favour and show me how the website beanandberry.co.uk appears for you? Does the background show up?
    I think it's probably a graphics card driver problem. However I did update my RAM recetnyl and I'm going to reset the cache to see if it does anything.
    If successful I'll post something again.

  • Connection drops/slows down on new Macbook Pro but works perfectly on older

    Hello,
    I have 3 Macbook Pro's and one AirPort Extreme (bought dec 2008), *all has been working flawlessly* for a year until about two-three weeks ago.
    *This is what happens:*
    _Old Macbook Pro (2007)_ - *Works perfectly 100% of the time*, always at least 20mbit/s connection
    _New Macbook Pro 15" (2009)_ - *Drops/slows down*, sometimes fast 20mbit/s sometimes slow 0.01mbit/s
    _New Macbook Pro 13" (2009)_ - *Drops/slows down*, sometimes fast 20mbit/s sometimes slow 0.01mbit/s
    _iPhones (2G/3G/3GS)_ - *All Work perfectly 100% of the time*
    *I have reset the Airport Extreme 20 times* and tried the latest firmware 7.4.2 without luck. I have *even downgraded* to several other types of firmware. But problems still remain. This is doing my head in since I cannot any longer use the Airport Extreme with the newer MBP's.
    So, only the new macs seem to have this problem. But the strange thing is that my older computer works 100% all the time!!!
    _*Has my Airport Extreme broken or is anyone else having this problem?*_

    I seem to have found a temporary solution. If I change the DHCP address series from 10.0.1.X to 192.168.0.X it works for about a week. Then it starts to drop/slow down again. So I use airport utility to again change it back to 10.0.1.X and it works for another week.. And on it goes.. This is so strange I can hardly believe it.

  • How to easily clean under 2012 MacBook Pro trackpad?

    Ok so.... I know it's stupid of me and before I begin, I am ashamed of myself!! *facepalms*
    I spilt a sticky berry drink on my MacBook Pro 2012, I've cleaned under the keys but some are still slightly sticky, but my point is some clearly got underneath the trackpad (it has no button so I can't easily stick a strip of paper under there), and I was wondering, is there any way to clean under the trackpad without any disassembly (at least not much, definitely not from the bottom)? If absolutely necessarry I will take it into my nearest Apple Store, but I'd rather that I could do it at home.
    Thank you for your help
    EXTRA DETAILS
    I wiped the laptop down quickly, tried not to let it soak in too much.
    Both the laptop and the trackpad and mouse are still working fine, and the exterior is clean, but it's simply just annoying as my left click does not feel like it's going down as deep as it should (it doesn't feel like the right click which has not changed).
    I got it in October, but would rather have it fixed than replaced.
    Thanks again,
    opalsasha

  • Wireless drop outs: draytek vigor 2600: macbook pro: channel 6

    Hi all
    Thought I'd drop this is, as it may help others??
    I've been having real problems with unstable wireless drop outs, it's been driving me barmy!
    I've been using a draytek vigor 2600 plus, when connected via ethernet, it's brilliant, use wireless and it *****, with drop outs every minute or so, and when it does connect the strength is shocking even though my router is above me, about 6 foot!
    I used www.istumbler.net/ and found that my next door neighbour has his router on channel 6... same as mine, since this I've changed to channel 12 and now signal strength is full (on the airport logo) and haven't had a drop out for hours...
    I'll post again if the status changes, but give it a try if you are having problems similar...
    hope this helps.
    Az

    I have been having the same issue for the last two weeks. No real indication as to why it ever began other than I had turned off my router and Airport Extreme Base Station off for a weekend while I was away from my place.
    iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch, all have no issues at all with my Airport Extreme Base Station. Can stay connected throughout my living room, bathroom, bedroom, no issues whatsoever.
    My 5 month old MacBook Pro 2.66 GHz Core i7 Airport is sometimes perfect, able to connect, DHCP, and browse without issue. Then, for no reason, I won't be able to join my wireless network, or when I can join, I can't pick up an IP address. And then it will connect, pick up and IP, and then it won't browse. No real rhyme or reason to when this will happen, or when it works.
    I thought that it was an issue with my MacBook Pro, but then my sister visited with her brand new MacBook Pro 2.26 Intel Core 2 Duo, and while a month ago she was able to connect, DHCP, and browse without issue, this weekend she had all of the same issues I was having.
    My XBOX 360 and MacBook Pro have absolutely no issues with the wired connection. Only my WAN seems to have this issue.
    Did you ever find anything more to this?

  • Dropped frames warning on new Macbook Pro

    I've been running FCP faultlessly for the last year or so on a Macbook Pro 15". I recently bought a Macbook Pro 17" with the I5 quad core processor and for the first time I'm getting dropped frame error messages here and there. This is the last thing I would have expected on my all singing and dancing new Macbook Pro!
    I've set up FCP, as far as I can see, exactly the same as my other Macbook and I've updated FCP to 7.03. Is there something more that I should have done?

    I couldn't be assed going through the detail, because it would have been irrelevant wouldn't it? The old Macbook Pro was working perfectly with the same hard discs and the New Macbook Pro Quad Core wasn't,so the answer was going to be inside the new machine rather than any external device. That was where I was looking for help, on an internal Mac setting., I don't need to be lectured on the speed/size/performance of discs etc as I've running stuff for 2 years with no problems at all on the old machine.Sorry to have been so abrupt, but having just spent £2000 on my new Macbook Pro and then finding these errors appearing, as you can imagine I wasn't in the best of moods!
    Anyway, I solved the problem with the help of an old post from Tom Wolsky, where he suggests "Trashing the preferences" as sometimes an element within this can become corrupted and cause strange problems.This free utility in effect resets the Mac.

  • Why did Instagram appear under my MacBook Pro icon while using Airdrop?

    Hi.
    I had my iMac and MacBook Pro both setup to use iCloud to share Safari and Calendar. I was going to transfer a folder using Airdrop from my iMac to my MacBook Pro. In my MacBook Pro's Airdrop window, under the icon, it said others will see Jen's iMac. In my iMac's Airdrop window, under the icon, it said others will see Jen's MacBook Pro. But underneath Jen's MacBook Pro was the word Instagram. I've used Airdrop many times and have never had the word Instagram appear anywhere.
    My only connection with Instagram is I did recently join on my iPad but I don't see how that would allow Instagram to have access to my MacBook Pro.
    I didn't send the file until I could figure out how to remove the word Instagram. It disappeared when I turned iCloud off.
    My question is why was the word Instagram underneath the Jen's MacBook Pro?

  • Dents under my macbook pro retina?

    I bought my macbook pro retina yesterday and noticed dents under the notebook.  Has anyone experienced the same thing?  Does apple replace the under shell?
    Thanks

    Why don't you just bring it back and get another one?

  • I stupidly spilled water through the keyboard on my MacBook Pro the other night!! :-(

    I had my MBP on my nightstand, was changing sheets on my bed...I knocked a big glass of water over RIGHT ON TO MY MBP's Keyboard.  It was open and running at the time.  It immediately goes black!  I turn it over and water literally pours out of it. OMG, I've had it like 2 months!  Anyway, I immediately removed the back and sprayed high pressure air from inside to hopefully clear as much water as possible out as I can.  Then, luckily, I remembered I had some VERY BIG Ziploc bags (Big Bags 15" x 15").  So I put it in the bag with about 2 cups of rice and a handful (5 or 6) small silica gel packets that I keep in my safe.  This was 4 days ago.  I tried it last night...attached the MagSafe power cord and the light just blinked rapid amber on the indicator. I put it back in the bag...no hope left! :-(
    Tonight I gave it another try, attached the MagSafe power adapter....and GREEN!!!  Trying not to be overly excited I gingerly hit the power button...SWEET LORD the thing fired right up!!!  A few quirks with the trackpad, but they slowly seem to be diminishing!  I just had to say Apple builds a helluva computer!  Now I just need to remember not to put it on the nightstand next to my water glass!!  Dumb move, but it worked out ok!!  I am in disbelief.  Had to thank God tonight that my $2K+ laptop wasn't ruined by my stupidity AND thank this forum for the rice in the bag advice!  This is my first Mac and besides beating the Windows based units to ****, they're TOUGH!
    Recommendation: water + MBP = BAD.  Stupid blind luck and good advice on this forum = working MBP and my thanks to all of you! :-)

    Glad to hear things are working out well for you. It is extraordinarily fortunate that you did not permanently damage the MacBook Pro. It is good that you are being more careful.
    Enjoy your machine.
    Safe computing.

  • Spilled milk on my MacBook Pro, what now?

    I put my milk down and it spilled on the closed lid on my computer (non retina 13 inch)   I of course freaked out and rushed my computer upstairs leaving my family to fend for the safety of the couch. I cleaned it off immediately and opened the lid, some milk by the rubber seal but none on the keyboard, thank god (even though I'm atheist so that's saying something) and cleaned that too, that's when I remembered the milk spilled on the side with the vent. THE ONE VENT ON THE COMPUTER!!! of course before I was glad that apple doesn't festoon it's computers with vents like most pcs, but just my luck the one vent gets milked.  I'm pretty sure not much milk got in the vent, because none cam gushing out but I cleaned it as best I could and opened it waking it from windows sleep (I was in boot camp) not problems there, so I shut down and booted into Mac, (this is before I read tons of articles saying not to turn on after a liquid spill) and the screen loaded but there were these wired purple and yellow tints and weirdnesses all over the screen so I held the power button until it shut down.  I immediately left it with the lid open and it has been that way for the past 2.5 hours. Keep in mind I am not loaded so I don't have money to shell out for another Mac. It's 3 years old and I intend for another three years. This is my first mac coming from an ancient toshiba, and I desperately do not want to have to go back if it is broken, so any advice would be much appreciated, do you think it will be ok?

    nobody here knows if it "will be ok", even though I used to fix laptops, even I dont know,.....nobody can tell anything thru the Internet on diagnosis.
    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.  

  • I dropped my iPad on my MacBook Pro and it put a little dent on top of the aluminum cover. When I opened it the screen was cracked in that location. Plz help.

    Csound1, free speech should have a place in this forum. Bless, you have 13,000+ points one day they might make you a moderator and give you a little badge. Isn't it ironic that Apple and their fanboys have became "Big Brother"?
    As the old cliche goes ,"There's no harm in trying". If you can't afford a bill for several hundred bucks, then I would welcome all honest feedback and evaluate my options before paying a large repair bill.
    If you don't agree with it don't use it.
    There have been many stories of people getting free replacements, a close friend has received four replacement iPhones after the screen cracked from dropping it.
    Screens crack due to a variant of reasons, humidity/climate change. If someone punched it and broke it deliberately then of course it shouldn't be replaced but it should be able to withstand some drops/pressure on top.
    It may not be under warranty but you will find people who got a nice genius to replace it anyway.

  • I have spilled water on my mid-2012 13" MacBook Pro

    The water entered they the slit between where the screen folds.
    I saw some droplets on the main board (motherboard?).
    At a few places, there seems to be some white (dis?)coloration.
    When I opened the back cover, the fan wasn't working. The power light was turned on despite the screen being folded.
    After a while, the fan started running, but then again stopped, as well as the power light.
    What do I do now? Do I let it dry? Do I use rubbing alcohol on the board?

    Please make a Genius Appointment and take it in for service. ASAP. Do not do anything else or you may make your problem worse.
