you can send to Rossmann Repair Group, they are specialist with MacsI left it alone to dry for 3 days. The fan comes on but nothing else. I assume its toast. Any suggestions?

Yes! I can see the Apple logo. In your experience is this cheaper or a better idea than buying another refurb?Are you able to shine a very bright light onto the screen and see if you can see anything like the Apple logo during boot or a login screen etc. If you do see something on the screen and are able to use the computer to some extent then one could probably say that the water mostly damaged the monitor cable or the monitor backlight. I think either way you are looking at having it repaired either by apple or at an apple authorized repair center.

Thanks. I live in the US but nowhere near NY. It'll cost way more to get it there than a local Apple store.Apple's repair pricing is absolutely absurd, especially if it's water damaged and out of warranty.
If you live in the US, hands down take it to Rossmann Group.
It doesn't cost anything to have Apple give you a quote for the repair. If you're unhappy with the cost quoted then you can shop around for an authorized apple service technician in your area. I'm assuming that having the repair done, depending on what is damaged, will be cheaper than getting a whole new refurb.Yes! I can see the Apple logo.

oh if that's the case apple won't even touch your machine its too old, and you are better off buying a new 2012 as it will be significantly cheaper you can even get a 2017 base model mbp for around $750 used on offerupmid 2012
Can you send me a link to something like that?

I haven’t tried to get an estimate yet. Is the MacBook Air in the link above able have creative cloud? I mostly do a little photoshop and indesign. Ind are mostly Facebook ads and banners. Really small files. Photoshop is working with a photographer with a few photos in layers. Usually a bit larger file.

[doublepost=1557858128][/doublepost]The same thing happened to me 5 days ago. Unplugged my Macbook Pro, let it dry with a fan for 5 days and it seems to be working fine.I knocked over a litre of water on my MacBook Pro last year.
Towelled it off, left it in a ^ shape in front of a fan for 48 hours. No problems! I've even had Apple check for water damage twice and they couldn't find any.
Not the person you're responding to, but I'd advise still bringing it in to check as soon as you have the time/chance. Water damage doesn't always manifest immediately, it's possible that everything works fine for days/weeks but you run into failures later down the line because of corrosion, and if that's the case then the longer you wait, the more severe (and potentially the more expensive to repair) the damage might be. Diagnosing and (if necessary) repairing these types of damage early might end up cheaper (and more frustration-free) in the long run.[doublepost=1557858128][/doublepost]The same thing happened to me 5 days ago.

Do you recommend taking it to Apple Store to check for water damage or just let it be?
Thanks.
