Spilled coffee on MBP. Now it turns on but runs slow.

I spilled coffee on my MBP (just black--no sugar). I took it to the Apple store, where they said I lucked out because it didn't look like anything was wrong. However, now that I'm home it seems to be running REALLY slowly. Is there a solution for this or am I screwed?

Turn it off, remove the battery, and disconnect the charger. Take it ASAP to your local Apple retailer. The longer you wait the more damage will be done.

  • Spilled coffee on mbp 2012

    I spilled coffee on my mbp 2012. Then I immediately turned it off and opened it up and dried it with a hair drier.
    Then I let it rest for another 2 days.
    It boots up just fine, but the keyword is not working properly.
    I took it to apple's genius bar and I was shocked by the repair cost estimate they gave me.
    They said it's a flat rate $750 plus tax.
    I know if the logic board was damaged this price wouldn't be that surprising, but only the keyboard doesn't work and replacing a keyboard shouldn't cost this much.
    The guy kept telling me that for now its the keyboard, but coffee causes corrosion on your board and some time later you will find a more serious problem. That's why we have to do a complete inspection and it will cost this much.
    Is this true? If everything is dried out already and the motherboard works just fine, will coffee really cause corrosion and malfunction? Or the guy was just trying to justify their hefty price tag for the service?

    That's cheaper than the new computer you will need if you don't get this taken care of properly. The liquid seeps onto the motherboard and it also affects the keyboard down the road. The liquid is corrosive to a computer.
    You have been told the truth but you are always free to ignore it.

  • Installed Yosemite, now my MacBook Pro is running slow and the FileVault keeps saying estimating time remaining.

    I installed Yosemite and since then the system has been running slow.  I chose to use FileVault and it says it's encrypting but keeps saying estimating time remaining.  I've tried repair permission and restarting my computer.  Saw some other threads with similar problem and ran diskutil cs list which showed 80% the first time and now says failed.  I also did an Entre Check and here are the results.

  • MBP will not turn on but the power indicator light does

    I have read 40 pages of discussion, tried all of the boot up key combinations that are listed on the apple support website, and tried the online chat, but it only covers imac and ipod at this time. Have been an apple fan for 15 years, and currently own three plus the 23" display for this 15"MBP, but I am nearly the end of my patience. I did get it to boot up a couple of times by resetting the PRAM but the reinstall disc is now in the computer (never got a chance to use it because it shut down while I was out of the room) and I can neither get it out or start up with the disc. Battery is fully charged. I just want to do my work. Any help? or should I just try to return it?

    Do you have an external (bootable) drive, or even an installation disc that you can try to boot from - would at least let you know if the drive is okay, and you could remove the problematic program. If you can do this, also try repairing the permissions of the internal hard drive (use Disk Utility) - sometimes it will help to sort out some stuff.
    Even before that, try starting up and "zap the pram" - immediately after the startup chime, hold this key combination - Apple-key + Option-key + P-key + R-key - in that order - hold it down until you force the computer to restart three or four times (ie you'll hear the startup chime three or four times and see the screen flash the same number of times) - release the keys and let the computer try to start up normally. You'd be surprised how many times this will clear up a problem - I still am and I've been doing since 1999.

  • My daughters IPod touch fell in shallow pond,grabbed out after a few seconds..now it turns on but wont work correctly. Any suggestions?

    can an IPOD touch be salvaged or just bring to Apple store.

    Before you take it to an Apple Store, try to put it into a sealed bag of rice for a couple of days, to take out the moisture. This has worked for some people. The other option would be getting it replaced by Apple, but that's not covered by the warranty. See the pricing for the out-of-warranty exchange here: http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/service/prices/#us and http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/service/faq/#warranty6

  • MacBookPro Was Beeping now it turns on but screen messes up HELP!!!

    So one day out of no where my mac just wont start, I would press the power button and it would stay black and beep once about every 5 seconds (ive heard this has to do with ram) So I opened up the bottom to blow out the dust (there are some crumbs in some places i cant get i dont know if that has to do with this) but i thought that helped cause it came on and went to my desk top but the fans were running on high and my battery icon had an x in it. And then i restarted it and it came on back to the desk top and then there was no battery icon at all and my charger light wasnt on although plugged in. And then when i moved my computer slightly the screen went crazy with horizontal lines all over... anyone have any idea what this might be and what I can do with out spending too much money to fix it...

  • Downloaded iOS 6 and now the App Store is running slow

    Ever since downloading iOS6 the App Store is running really slow. Especially on passbook.

    The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico, Spanish is my native tongue. I do not speak English very well, however, I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
    Apple is not here. Apple does not answer questions here.

  • Spilled coffee on my macbook and now making beep and quieter.

    I recently spilled coffee on my macbook and then the hardrive stopped working so I removed the hard drive and saw that it was covered in sticky old coffee. Then I bought a new hard drive and put it in.... The hard drive didnt show up when trying to install mac os x!!!! :O
    Now I was thinking it could maybe be the hard drive connector but iunno.
    ALSO when i boot it up it takes REALLY long to get to the menu screen for installing mac os x!! AND it also makes a wierd noise like this... beep beep... beep beep... every few seconds!
    Anyone know what could be wrong?!?!?!?!?!?

    Nobody can tell you specifically what to do next. There could be so many things wrong.
    You probably ruined some components in the process and I think it's permanently damaged. If you're handy, you could try to repair it yourself, but this might be an arduous process. The procedure would then be to isolate the components that are causing the slow boot and the beeping. The iFixit.com site is really good for this, with spare parts and repair manuals.
    You could also try to sell it on eBay (as broken, just for parts) where it might still fetch you a nice price.

  • Spilled coffee on my magic mouse. Now it won't scroll at all. Do I need to buy a new one?

    Spilled coffee on my magic mouse. Now it won't scroll at all. Do I need to buy a new one?

    If your coffee had cream and/or sugar in it, after removing the batteries it would not hurt to slosh it a bit in warm (not hot) sterile water to rinse out the residues of the cream and/or sugar. Then let it dry thoroughly - might take a couple of days, even with a fan blowing on it. Do not use supplemental heat, such as a hair dryer or even direct sunlight, to speed up the drying - things with plastic parts can be damaged by excessive heat.
    You can get sterile water at most grocery stores - the stuff for steam irons is perfect. Sterile water does not contain the usual lime and/or calcium that can deposit out when the water evaporates.

  • Apple says "logic board needs replaced" because MBP won't turn on w/o SMC reset but I think I can fix it; can you help?

    Hello,
    Less than a year after purchasing a brand new, early-2011 Macbook Pro (still covered under Extended Apple Care) and, sadly, only a week or two after finally upgrading to 8GB RAM, I returned to my notebook after taking a shower and watched it suddenly shut itself down. It has not been responsive to the power button since then (although, see below.. I think I can fix it).
    Genius Bar took one look at the visible moisture sensor you can see underneath where the RAM sits and declared it water-damaged. While I agree that either a short and/or corrosion is causing my MBP to malfunction, I don't believe it should void my warranty because the problem isn't that I spilled something on it.1
    I hope someone can give me some insight into fixing this myself. Apple says "the Logic Board needs replaced" (a common CS response, I've noticed) the water damage voids my Extended Care + that it'll be at least $1200 and several weeks. Here's the situation:
    MBP will not turn on just by pressing the power button. However, MBP consistently (every time) powers up when I do an SMC reset.
    I have it in verbose mode and it begins booting. But, it will invariably turn off without warning anywhere between 30 seconds and 8-10 minutes after powering up.
    MBP will not turn on just by pressing the power button. However, MBP consistently (every time) powers up when I do an SMC reset.
    I have it in verbose mode and it begins booting. But, it will invariably turn off without warning anywhere between 30 seconds and 5 minutes of powering up.
    Eighty percent of the time, it turns off during the pre-Xorg boot. However, I have also seen it fully boot, I log in, I'm able to peruse logfiles/etc. Safe Mode (holding shift) crashes early. Single-user mode makes no difference. PRAM/NVRAM/etc makes no difference. I can boot to the Recovery Partition but it turns off just the same (disk utility scan takes too long).
    I haven't been able to really test the Internet Recovery because the hotel wireless takes too long. I did boot into Hardware Test and it passed the basic and extended tests (although it seemed to just be testing the RAM integrity.
    I can boot from the optical drive with a FreeBSD 9 livecd and an Ubuntu 11.04 livecd. Of note is that the laptop shuts off consistently when FreeBSD begins the journaling services for the ZFS filesystem (every time).
    Here is where this leads me to believe I'm at (I am not dogmatic here and would appreciate any corrections or insight):
    It seems like there may be corrosive damage on the logic board but maybe it's isolated given the various consistencies in what's happening. It seems like whenever SATA is use, I lose power. When SATA isn't really used (the HW Test), the laptop has literally stayed on for days and days.
    I want to get in there and clean up any corrosion with 91% isopropyl alcohol (9% distilled, non-conductive water).
    I want to use a bootable OSX livecd with an "emergency console" so I can, basically, use boot options to step throught the boot process and see if I can isolate the problem.
    Here is what I'm uncertain about and could use guidance:
    Does any of this sound remotely reasonable to anyone who has been through this or am I delusional?
    Any tips on identifying and cleaning any corrosion?
    While I had made a bootable version of Lion via Disk Utility and a rescue disk with some third-party app, they are MIA and I don't have another Mac at the moment. Do I have any other options? Again, an install dvd is not exactly what I want -- more like a rescue dvd. I had read about some Apple Stores giving/copying bootable USB thumb drives like this to customers. But, I noticed that this is now on sale there for $80. I would use this like once and, ideally, could use my MBP to make more. $80 seems a bit much.
    I should be able to step through the boot process in a way like what's possible with FreeBSD, no?
    Anyone have any other specific troubleshooting tips?
    I really, reallly need my MBP back as soon as possible. I'd really appreciate any wisdom and insight! Thank you,
    -ryan                             
    To be totally honest, about 3 weeks prior I spilled some milk from cereal on the desk and a little bit got onto the battery. However, the notebook worked fine for the following weeks. I believe that the problems have been caused by ambient humidity ... I've been staying in a hotel that steams up the entire room when I take a shower. The windows are covered in water droplets so why wouldnt the MBP be affected? As noted, these problems began after I lingered in a hot shower.

    I don't think you have a case.
    You can replace the logic board yourself if you are a DIY'er and save some money.

  • Spilled Coffee on MacBook Pro

    My 9 month old decided to spill coffee (1/2 cup) on my MacBook keyboard. I immedetly unplugged it and shut it off. Tried to turn it on a few min later and nothing happens, no power. Right now I have the back off of it and its sitting in rice.
    My question is, since I have already decided to buy a new one cause its my work computer is, what are some things I can start replacing in it to try to fix it? Motherboard? CPU? Power source? Where do I start? I am going to try and fix it and then sell it to try and off set the cost of a new MacBook.
    Thanks guys. :(

    First, the fact that you tried to power it on a few minutes after the spill isn't a good thing. It takes days for liquids spilled into a computer to dry, and turning a machine on while wet is almost a guarantee of damage. The fact that it won't respond at all means that the logic board is probably fried, at a minimum.
    Also, note that using rice on a laptop is a very bad idea! Rice will get inside the vents, ports, optical drive, etc and do more damage. If rice ends up getting inside the machine and getting wet, you will end up with a sticky, starchy mess that will conduct electricity and cause shorts even after the liquid is dry.
    Finally, don't even think about selling this machine to someone without fully disclosing the issue! That would be quite dishonest, possibly even fraudulent depending on the situation. You don't want that kind of trouble. If you want to try to get what you can from the machine, there are companies online that will buy damaged machines for parts. They will pay only based on testing the machine and determining which parts are still functional and salvageable. You may not get as much for the machine, but you also won't have to worry about someone taking legal action against you.

  • Spilled coffee

    I've spilled quite a bit of coffee on keyboard of my hp pavilion 15-e010sm. I tryed to wipe as much coffee of the keyboard and dry it out. I turn it off at some point(in all the panic I don't remember when, but I did turn it off) and let it dry on air but it won't turn on. My question is, is there any hope of saving it? I've paid a fair price for it here, in Serbia and it woulde be a shame to go to waste.

    I spilled a little bit of soda on my keyboard ( more like big drops) and my computer won't turn on but it will still charge.  After i spilled it it kept trying to turn on and off by itself until i finally just shut it down.  Today i tried to turn it back on ( i spilled it last night) and now it won't turn on but when i plug it in the orange light comes on so it still charges.

    TBF: You may have been lucky enough not to cripple your MBP immediately with your spill, but a spill such as you describe will have left obvious traces if you ever need to take your machine in for a repair of any kind. And as soon as evidence of the spill is found, any chance of the necessary repairs being performed under warranty will be gone.
    Taking the machine in now to be cleaned and have the greasy parts replaced will be expensive, but doing so may save whatever remains of your warranty. For a price, Apple will restore the machine to like-new condition, and at the very least, you will then have a 90-day repair warranty on it. If you have significantly more time than that remaining on your original one-year warranty, and especially if you've bought the extended AppleCare Protection Plan, it would probably be worth taking the machine in to a Genius Bar for a look-over. Ask whether, if you have Apple clean and repair the machine now, your new-computer warranty and AppleCare plan will be reinstated afterward or whether all you'll have is the short repair warranty from now on. If the spill will negate your warranty and AppleCare even if you have Apple clean it, then the cleaning probably isn't worth paying for. But if paying for the cleaning will get your warranty and AppleCare reinstated, it may be worth doing.
