Plss help. Wet wipes on rMBP 13 trackpad

[unbelievable32]

Hi everyone,

So my mum was usng my laptop, and she cleaned the trackpad and around with wet wipes. Does the water make an effect on it/on the edges where the trackpad finishes/where there is a gap. Will it void the warranty/damage the computer? I'm really worried.

Thanks

Unless she squeezed real hard on the wipe and a lot of liquid seeped in I would not worry.

I read this as 'Piss Help' at first. Phew. Glad that wasn't it.

Highly unlikely, so don't worry about it and enjoy your Mac as intended 🙂

I wouldn't recommend using wet wipes to clean your laptop.

Same here. I thought this would be the first time I've seen piss-damage to a MacBook Pro.

Only if she squeezed the life out of the wipe and water got into the crevices.

I work for an APSP... So not to scare you, but that could be problematic down the road. It really depends if any moisture seeped through the crack around the trackpad because the battery is directly underneath it. I can tell you from personal experience, you DO NOT want corrosion on your battery. Unfortunately with the rMBPs since the batteries aren't removable, the only way to fix a problem that this may cause is a replacement battery/top case mail-in to Apple, which is supposedly a flat-rate fee of $200 (mind you, that's assuming there is NO sign of liquid damage, possibly more in your case).
