If this happened to you, it is best to follow a series of Recommendations, avoiding the maximum possible damageand trying that our computer does not spoil, nor that we have to take it to the technical service, although this will depend on the fate we have.
What to do if coffee falls into a mac
Upon suffering this type of accident, there are two options, or that the MAC goes out automatically by caution, noting a short circuit inside it, or does nothing, because, luckily, the liquid has not penetrated in a point where there is energy movement.
If we are at the first point, although with worse luck, We must leave the computer off. In the case of the second, it will be best to turn it out manually, since, although nothing has happened, the liquid could continue moving inside, which would produce this first case at any time.
Once at the second point, we will have to try to dry it, but not as it is, that is, we will not be able to heat it with a dryer, put it in the sun, or perform tasks that can harm it more. It would be best to be patient, and Leave it in a cool and dry place for at least 24 or 48 hoursthat, although it seems a lot, it is not so much. If you want to make sure, leave it on a table and spill some coffee at the same point. After those hours you can take a look. Is the table dry? If the table continues with coffee, and it has not evaporated, the Mac may also have it, so it is not enough time.
Apple does not recommend the rice method, however, if the grains are great, it is a way to get them to help absorb moisture, so it would not be a bad practice, although it is obviously not the best.
Anyway, as a summary, it must be said that, If your Mac gets wet, you can just waitand let it dry with the shutdown, trying to move it as little as possible. It is tedious to have to avoid using it for a couple of days, but better than trying to turn it on and listen to “puf”, and as the plate, fountain or any component is spoiled, not to mention that the battery swollen and could cause something more serious.
And you, have you ever had a problem of this style? How did you solve it? Leave us a comment explaining your experience, and how to solve it that you had, so that we can all help us, although it will be best to be lucky and precautions so that this does not happen, since we could lose a lot of money for a simple coffee.
