Hi, Unfortunately I recently spilled water on my MacBook Pro 2019. It has the following specs: https://business.currys.co.uk/catalogue/… . I only spilled a few drops of water on it, landing around the keyboard and touchpad. I immediately turned off the computer and left it closed with the keyboard facing down and placed it in the airing cupboard. Unfortunately I didn’t remove the battery and didn’t use any paper towel. I kept it turned off for 5 days and have just turned it on. It appeared to be working OK. It boots normally and will then run completely normally for a random amount of time (usually sub 10 minutes and frequently much less) and then it appears to spontaneously short circuit and cuts power to the screen and/or touch bar. The computer remains turned on at this point. If a second screen is connected it loses power to this display, so it appears to be an issue of power rather a problem specifically with the MacBook screen. What would people recommend? I’d be very grateful for any tips. Thanks.
Hi It sounds like you may be lucky if it still somewhat turns on! What I would do next is take the bottom panel off and post some photos of what things look like on the inside so we can get a better idea of what’s happened As for resolving the issue I would get some isopropyl alcohol (99%),a soft toothbrush and some cotton buds/Qtips so that you can clean away any corrosion and hopefully resolve your issue If you post some photos using this great guide Adding images to an existing question We can see what has gone wrong and what our next steps are if they are needed Hopefully this helps Any questions please ask Thanks:-)
