water spilled on the keyboard

I have a macbook air, about 4 years, OS 10.9.5. I spilled water on the keyboard last night. I have it turned off, it turned on its side and mopped up the water that has flowed to the surface. I thought it would be a good idea to let it all dry for a few days before turning on again. Is there anything else I need to do?

Hello.

Some suggestions here that I would have this problem.

1. disconnect the cables around it and disconnect the battery if possible.

2. the weird towel and fan tour - see link below - can take up to 96 hours

3. you can stuff the Mac in rice or Silica Gel...

4 bring to the Apple Store for damage diagnosis.

Those who have been the best 4 steps, that I could find.

The towel and fan thing would probably work better, but I've never tried.

It is good that you turned it off immediately, otherwise there will be very little chance to recover it.

If there is no hope on the recovery, she, there at least could be a way to recover his files. You can remove it from his hard drive and take the files out of it.

I do not know how to perform this process, but I don't know that you need some sort of hard disk drive. I also do not recommend do you it yourself, but if you really want, maybe it's the kind of thing you need. sur-noir http://www.bestbuy.com/site/thermaltake-blacx-hard-drive-enclosure-docking-stati / 9062055.p? id = 1219699418029 & skuId = 9062055 & Ref = 06 & loc = 01 & ci_src = 14110944 & ci_sku = 9062055 & extensionType = pla_multichannel:g, & s_kwcid = PTC! pla! 127785011599! g! 93427450999 & kpid = 9062055 & k_clickid = 27a17115-1578-0e68-4b46-000019524ba4 & lsft = r ef: 212, loc:1 & ksid = 27a17115-1578-0e68-4b46-000019524ba4 & ksprof_id = 8 & ksaffcode = 4114 pg1 & ksdevice = c

  • Tecra M5: print fingerprint sensor is not working properly because a drink was spilled on the keyboard

    My finger print sensor does not work correctly as a drink was spilled on the keyboard. While booting, it automatically "fails" 5 times in a row (without any attempt to slide a finger), and then by default at the entrance of password to boot the disk hard machine.

    This is not a problem and all I want to do is disable the finger print sensor, but cannot work out how to do this. I tried to uninstall the driver, who seemed done without any problem, but during the reboot, the sensor still seems active, and always goes through the same process.

    Everything else works fine and it's just a minor niggle, but I would like to delete the gene of it me beep 5 times then it does its thing.

    Can someone tell me how I turn it off completely?

    Thank you.

    Did you remove the fingerprint software? If Yes check if some unknown device is listed in Device Manager. Please post the result.

    Maybe you can try to disable this unknown device and it will not be recognized as new hardware every time when you start the laptop.

    Moved the HARD drive to another location of the HARD drive on the laptop and it appears at startup and boot OK.
    Is there an easy way to find and repair the defective HARD drive slot?

    Thanks for any help.

    Hello

    The HARD drive slot is not repairable. It s a HARD disk controller and I guess the HARD disk controller is dead.
    The HARD disk controller is part of the motherboard and if you want to repair it, so the entire motherboard must be replaced.

    New motherboard would cost a small fortune he of not good about market 350Euros
    That's why I put t think it is s to replace the mobo only to get the HARD drive in the first location of work

    This is my personal opinion...

  • Beer spilled on the keyboard

    I just did something stupid and spilled beer on my keyboard.  I gave and it evacuated and wiped the top of the keyboard.  It's a keyboard for a desktop computer.  What should I do?

    Thank you.

    Well, I took the keyboard out there (there are about a dozen screws!) and noticed there is no liquid on the bottom of the keyboard where the circuit board (or whatever that this is called) is.  So I ran the top plastic of the keyboard under the water to get rid of beer, let dry and reassembled the keyboard.  So far it works great.  (Typos are my responsibility, not the keypad.)  Thanks for your suggestions!

  • 4 keys does not work after water spilled on Presario CQ61-313US

    After that a small amount of water is spilled on the keyboard Presario CQ61-313US 3 keys, E, D and C don't work at all.  Tried spraying with air; no luck.  Tried a shot of cleaning electronic; It still does not.  I'm careful to try any more electronic vacuum, as it can dissolve the plastic.  I found the manual online at the removal of the keyboard but... is this really the only solution?

    Unfortunately Yes, he must disassemble the keyboard, let it dry or clean out then he try again. No software or drivers can help. I'm sorry.

    Your computer is still under warranty? you have this protection against accidental damage? Chances are you have to pay for the service and which is about $400. Do it yourself and at the end of the day, maybe buy a replacement keyboard at a lower price.

  • Equium P200 1IR - how to remove the keyboard internal?

    This portable soup spilled on the keyboard and now will not start, even with a wired USB keyboard. I want to disconnect the internal keyboard, because it seems that is what causes the problem. (I have experience). But I don't see how.

    I did some research on the web and looked at http://www.irisvista.com/ (mentioned in another thread), but not found anything that seems applicable to this model.

    Hey,.

    You should know that these disassembly guides not available in Internet so it s just good luck if you find guides or photos how to disassemble a laptop. These manuals are available for the service providers allowed according to me

    Anyway, normally it s not difficult to swap the keyboard. As far as I know, so you must remove the door-keyboard. You can do this with a thin tool
    After that, you should a few screws that attach the keyboard you have to remove and that s all

    On the Web site that you posted, you can find more instructions for Satellite P200. Perhaps this model P200 is similar to your check it!

    But to be honest, I doubt that your laptop would start after removing the keyboard, but you can try it. In the worst cases, you need professional help. An authorized service provider can check all hardware components. :)

  • spilled water on the keyboard, the keys do not work Ideapad Z500

    Hello

    A few hours ago I accidentally spilled water on the keyboard of my Lenovo Z500 Touch. The PC was only going to batteries, not connected with the adapter. I cleaned the water immediately. I turned it off, only it works a few times to see if everything was ok. Now (about 6 hours of the accident) most of the keys on the keyboard do not work. I turned the pc upside, hope it's just the water left in the keys, and now I'm waiting for the water to dry.

    any other advice?

    Thank you

    tonight I'm going to disassemble the keyboard and dry it with a hair dryer, gently and slowly warming not too. I have read that it does not disturb the guarantee as tha keyboard is a modifiable element.

    Any advice?

  • Satellite MX30: After water spill laptop without the display starts

    Hello

    I have a portable mx30 satellite and the problem is at some point, someone had poured a liquid any on the keyboard, I think he could have water.
    in any case I noticed that the laptop starts not after that, and yes it was still plugged into the power outlet so im guessing it could cause a short circuit and blew a chip.

    I took it apart and noticed that there was a build up of dirt where the spill was of course. So I'm taking a few q-tips wall and carefully cleaned it on using a small amount of contact spray.
    I waited several hours to make sure everything was dry and have still no splash screen, because it was not before.

    However the laptop turns on and stays on with the power supply (no display) and without battery in. If I put the battery and plug it starts (no display) it remains on during a few seconds then turns off.

    I think that the screen could be due to the failure on the system board or the memeory module failure.

    anyone else has any ideas.
    Thank you

    I know it isn't going to be very useful for you now, because it looks like it's been a while in this condition. Electronic devices are often more durable than we imagine when they are subjected to the wicked as the water damage. The trick is usually to remove all batteries, unplug the sector, remove as much as possible without breaking, dry as much as you can with a towel (if it was something sticky like coca cola, you can wipe with water cold Kettle), then let all the pieces on the night under a lamp placed at about 12 inches apart. Back, then try it, but ask someone to hold a wooden broom handle to push you away from electricity, so everything passes from kaka.

    If you have gunge, there's a chance it's supposed to be there, a sort of dough, and you can not to he will wipe away. If there is no obvious or not obvoius of water, hide between the display cable (which can resemble a 35mm film) try pulling away with toilet paper and very gently clean contacts you will see that surround it.

    The other thing you can do is check that no cables are disconnected during disassembly and reassembly. Give all that he received a tugboat then disassemble a push strong but soft back in, or if you can pull things out and push them in all the better. Word stress is SWEET.

    Chances are good, that'll cost you money.
