Spilt red wine on my mac book pro 2011

Vickysg24

So as it states in the title - dummy here Spilt red wine on her macbook pro... Stupidly cleaning up after dinner on Sunday night... had music playing on the laptop on kitchen table and as I was wiping the table I just tipped my glass with the cloth and the glass just topples over onto my laptop... Of course, me being the wino that I am was more upset that id spilt my last glass of wine.... I turned to Google and someone said to keep it upside down and take the battery out and try wipe away the excess wine then leave for 48 hours. I've just put the laptop back together there and it eventually came on but the keyboard wont work now.... I'm not sure if the fans are working either. I know I'm going to have to get it looked at but I'm skint at the mo!! Does anyone know how much I'd be looking at to get it fixed up? I only forked a small fortune back in may on a new battery, track pad and hard drive coz the thing died on me I'm so annoyed with myself 😢

Try the Mac forum, hopefully you'll get some help there.

They really hate liquids, so you might be in trouble. Best to take it to a Mac specialist and see what they say :-(

My sister in law did similar a while back, and its not good news. One drop was all that went down into the keyboard, and found the only place to get down to the motherboard and fried it. Might be worth your while checking out your house insurance?
