Cmon Dude there was no need to post the Forum search option, your making out as he was dumb, he just spilt wine on his GFs Laptop so he wasnt thinking straight, now imagine, the time it took you to post that link could have saved you and him at least 2mins, in those 2 mins his Macbook could have been saved

God be with us

Actually the post was valid, there's ALOT of these posts, all with the same advice, rice, silica gel if you have it, airing cupboard for a week etc etc, spending 30 seconds searching would've found all the advice the OP could've needed.

^^ This is an example of a unsympathetic and unnecessary post.

To the OP: Rice will remove the water quite well, get silica gel tablets, place the mb in somewhere consistently warm like an airing cupboard for ATLEAST a week, DO NOT turn it on for atleast a week, you need to give it time to dry out, chances are it's buggered, but it may rise from the dead yet...

Macs have been known to live out worse.

you're a better man than I am. She's not to stressed as you say, but you're worrying. From your title i though you spilled the wine and not her. Hopefully everything turns out for the good.

Take the MacBook and remove the logic board. Clean it with 97% alcohol (Qtips work well) and check for other residues. IMO there is a good chance the MacBook is still alive. Just DONT TURN IT ON.
