Water on keyboard (currently not working)

[CrownIsle]

I spilled some water via my hands splashing all over on the countertop while under the faucet, on the key board.

I immediately wiped it off and as of the afternoon it was working.


Now, tonight I sit down to use it and the keyboard doesn't work. Thankfully I had a random wireless keyboard that I have been able to work with the lap top!


Any insight or advice?

I am going to make an appointment to bring it in to the apple store just incase- so that I have the appointment and I'll cancel if need be. Many thanks

You might want to backup that computer, there is a good chance for damage even if it isn't present currently.

thanks you're right!

I don't think I can drop it on time machine......

if I do it via my external hard rive, can I just drag and drop the HD on my desktop to the hard drive- to suffice as a backup to have stored?

You can do a time machine backup. or drag the individual files you want. Not sure what dropping the HD will do. I used to do time machine backups and just drag/drop important stuff onto my icloud drive.

time machine is asking to select a backup disc and then asks for a other airport time capsule. None of which I can wrap my head around! There has to be an easier way
