Three days ago, I spilled some water from water purifier onto my MacBook Pro 2017 nTB. The area affected is shown as the picture. I instantly unplugged everything, shut it down and wiped away the water while holding the MBP upside down. It was left upside down for a few hours and subsequently placed in a dry box with s*** load of silica gel spread across the keyboard.
I took it out after about 40 hours since the incident and noticed that the silica gel didn't absorb much water (seen from the blue color indicator). I decided to power it on and test for any faults. So far, it has not shown any issue, but I am concerned about the possibility of the parts corroding inside.
I decided not to contact Apple as that would void my warranty instantly. Instead when I contacted my local Apple repair shops, none of them had ultrasonic cleaners and they only offer repair or replacement of logic boards.
Although I feel that not much if any water has penetrated the keyboard onto the logic board and even if it did, there would not be much impurities to cause corrosion, it is making me quite concerned. Those whose MacBooks were still 100% functional after the water spill, did your MacBooks survive in the long run?
Should I purchase the pentalobe screwdrivers and some IPA to clean the logic board?
