Water got into screen!

I have a White 13" Macbook and I cleaned my screen with a damp paper towel and wiped it off. When I turned it on, there was a big blotch of water inside the bottom left part of the screen. I now have it turned off with the screen open to see if it will go away. If it doesn't go away, how much will it cost to send it to Apple to repair it?

I called an Apple retail store, and they told me to turn the power off, leave the screen open, and dry it for a couple of days. Most of the water dried out, and now its just a couple of small dots instead of a big blotch.

  • Some water got into my iPhone4 and now the home button is having issues. Is there a fix for this?

    As the title says, my home button is having issues that started after some water got into my iPhone4. It takes about twenty attempts before it will register that I hit the home button. It is not under warranty anymore. Any help or suggestions on how to fix the problem would be appreciated. Thanks

    Take to Apple and have then check.
    If it is damage you will be charged for the replacement since the warranty does not cover damage.

  • Water got on screen, now ipad won't even turn on, is this fixable and at approximately what cost?

    Water got onto screen of ipad, now won't even turn on. Is this fixable and at approximately what cost?

    Apple does not repair iPads, but will replace the entire iPad for a flat fee; see the Repair Pricing section here:
    http://www.apple.com/support/ipad/service/faq/
    There are independent iPad repair services that may be able to replace the screen for less. Do a web search for "ipad repair".

  • About a week ago, water got into my headphone jack of my IPhone 4s and it was working fine for a few hours but all of a sudden the screen went black and I can't turn it back on. I put my phone in rice for a few days but the screen is still black.

    However, I took some screenshots and when I went to upload the pictures to my Mac, the screenshots uploaded. So I believe my phone still is working but the screen is just not turning on. I tried holding down the home and top button for ten seconds, even longer, but nothing occurred. I am hoping to find a possible solution so I do not have to buy a new phone. Thank you!

    The backlight burned out from getting it wet. You will have to replace the screen at a 3rd party shop, buy a screen and replace it yourself, or make a Genius Bar appointment at your nearest Apple Store and do an out-of-warranty replacement for $199 USD.

  • My phone won't turn on. I have tried the Power button   home button several times and even held it for over 3 minutes.. When I plug it in it still won't respond to itunes PLEASE HELP!! A little water got in it but it was like a drop or two..

    My Iphone 4g, won't turn on, I have tried the power button + home button several times and held them for over 3 minutes. It won't even respond to Itunes and I can't restore it because of that. A little water got into it before it completely shut off but it was like little drops.. Please HELPP.
    I also have tried  to put it in rice and left it there for 9 hours and it still doesn't work

    A drop or two of water may have been enough to cook it. If it was bad enough to prompt you to put it in a bag of rice, then I'd venture to guess it was more than a drop or two.
    Try putting it back in the bag of rice and leave it there for several days.
    If that doesn't fix it, then you're more than likely looking at paying for an out of warranty replacement.
    Water and delicate electronics don't generally get along well.

  • I forgot my iPod at a bomb fire at school and it was on the field and water got on it everything works but you can tell that theirs water inside how much would it cost to replace the screen at apple

    Place the iPod in a sealed container with a desiccant for a week. Uncooked rice works. Change the desiccant every day or so for a week.
    Do not charge or turn on the iPod until dry. Then try:
    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • My Macbook Pro (15" early 2011) got blue screen every i normally booted it. It only can enter the OS when it's in safe boot. Solution please.

    My Macbook Pro (15" early 2011, Mountain Lion, but after reinstall i change it to snow leo) got blue screen every i normally booted it. It enter the OS only when it's in safe boot.
    I've tried any solution that i got from the internet, such as:
    -Reinstalling the OS X (normal install & clean install)
    -Reset PRAM and SMC
    -Repair Disk Permissions and Repair Disk from Disk Utility (the result is OK. There's no problem)
    -Repair Disk Permissions manually (with Command + S at the beginning of booting)
    -Checking Hardware from Application Installer DVD (result is OK)
    -Checking from Mac Resource Inspector/MRI (result OK)
    -Booting from Recovery Disk is same problem, blue screen
    All of that solution is not working. My Macbook still got light blue screen and sometimes blue screen with lines after apple logo and spinning wheel is shown.
    HDD is in good condition because when it's checked on the other macbook it can be booted. But if you must know, other HDD can't be booted when its plugged to my macbook (blue screen again). If i do safe booting, it works but can't play video and music also photobooth. I got confused with this case.
    Any solution or comment? Thank you very much by the way

    Hi. I'm not trying to rush things, you may have a different problem, but your issue looks quite familiar to me. I recently had a problem with the discrete graphics card (the Radeon GPU) due to overheating, all because a faulty application of the thermal compound in the factory.
    In my case, the problem started slowly and intermittently, a few days after a gaming session (Quake 3) of about three hours (at the moment, I didn't realized that could be linked to the problem).
    This issue is being actively discussed in another threads in this forum, but so far there's enough evidence that it's been causing similar problems for 2011 MBPs owners: screen corruption, black/blue screens, and in some cases, a total inability to boot. Some of the threads I'm talking about:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/13150366#13150366
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/21110132#21110132
    So far, and since the problem seems to affect only the discrete GPU (that's why you can boot in safe mode) a possible solution is to disable it by removing some extensions which prevent OS X from loading the Radeon drivers. This post describing the process (there are different files involved depending of your GPU version, so make sure you are moving the right ones):
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/22521574#22521574
    In the case your discrete GPU survived and is not permanently damaged, I personally had success by changing the thermal compound myself, which completely fixed the problem (at least for now). I've posted about it here:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/22630561#22630561
    I hope you can find a solution, believe me I know the feeling when you see your expensive machine turning into a brick and it *****.
    Good luck!

  • On my ipod touch 4th generation, it somehow got into recovery mode and won't restore! Help please!

    I have been searching on this topic for hours and i haven't found an answer that works so i decided to post the question myself. So on my iPod touch 4th gen., it got into recovery mode somehow and when i plug it in it says something like "ipod in recovery mode, please restore". well i clicked restore and it went through the whole process then said "ipod can not restore. an unknown error ocurred (28)". I have the newest software on the computer and ipod, i restarted my computer a number of times, i changed USB ports, no other USB is plugged in and i just don't know what else to do. The screen is just black and won't turn on. I've tried the hard restart and everything!! pleaseeeeeee help!!

    Error 20, 21, 23, 26, 28, 29, 34, 37
    These errors typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process. FollowTroubleshooting security software issues to resolve this issue. In rare cases, these errors may be a hardware issue. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.
