Based on what I have read here...I did everything that I could have done wrong. Sorry this is going to be long but I'm trying to include as much details as possible.
Saturday evening while at a friend's place I spilled almost a cup of water on my 2 month old macbook pro. It went all over the keyboard and trackpad. I soaked up quickly what I could and flipped it over but stupidly did not turn it off. (listened to 2 friends who clearly know nothing about computers but that's beside the point now) I let it sit for about 30 mins resting on it's front edges like a tipi. I then decided to rest the keyboard side flat on a towel with the screen side hanging off the table still without turning it off. (idiot, I know) Withing minutes it turned off on its own or died? I left it that way overnight and tried to turn it on in the morning but nothing was happening. While I was pretty sure the battery still had charge in it I plugged it in and did see the green light go on and turn orange to start charging but again I could not turn it on. Thinking this was a bad idea I unplugged the power and poured rice on the towel and laid it back down for another couple of hours. I then had to pack it up and head back home so it sat in my car for 2 hours. When I finally got home I took the back off and could still feel moisture. With the back off (but battery & hard drive still in as I couldn't get a tri wing torx until Tuesday) I slipped it into old panty hose and laid it on a bed of rice for 24 hours. I then propped it in front of a fan overnight and tried it again yesterday but still nothing. While I could no longer feel/see any moisture, I left it to sit with the battery out. I tried again this morning but nothing is happening.
What do I do now? It's been 84 hours since the incident. I can't be sure that I short circuited anything because I can't see or smell that anything has been burned. My hard drive is fine as I've already pulled off the most immediate items that I needed to access. Based on what I have read I suspect my power button might be dead or even my logic board? I'm going to wait another day or so but then I think I need to take it to apple to get it looked at. I'm certain the water damage will be obvious though I can't see it with the back off and the battery out but I've read there are four moisture sensors inside it. So I'm assuming my warranty is void now. If/when I take it in what should I say...that it just stopped working?
Any further advice on what I could/should do?
Thanks in advance.
