Mac water problem

[tomnomnom696]

Hi guys,

I recently spilled a bit of water onto my macbook pro 2014. i opened it up to turn it on but the screen dimmed and then it wouldnt boot back up again. I used a hair drier on a low setting and put a fan on it since.

I attemped to open it 24 hours later are repeated use of the hair dryer. it managed to boot to the login screen but i noticed the keyboard didnt work properly (typed some keys twice) so i decided to login as a guest. It would start to restart but at the side theres this script and i cant really decipher it. it basically restarts again and boots into the login screen.

What do you guys think is the problem? What should i do from here? How much do you think it will cost to repair?

Thanks in advance

The problem is 'water damage'. Sorry but isn't it obvios.

The 2ed mistake you made (after spilling water) is powering it up. You should never apply power to electronics until you are 100% sure all the water is removed. In all likelihood once you applied power you 'fried' circuitry. You will probably need to take it to an Store or reputable repair shop for repair.

Your logic board is fried. You'll need a new one. You have a few options.

1) take it to the Apple Store and get it repaired. It may or may not be worth it, as it'll probably cost close to a grand.

2) Open it up yourself and try to repair any corrosion or damaged components. Probably not likely to happen unless you have experience with this stuff.

3) Find a third party on eBay or locally who can repair water damage. I personally have zero experience with these people so YMMV.

Next time: shut off the computer immediately. Turn it upside down to try to let it fall out. Let it dry for a week. Then try turning it on.
