RE: My Fears Came True 😐 Liquid Spilled on my MacBook 💻 #club100
If you are still concerned with moisture, perch the device on the front edge down with a fan directed toward the keys. The fan will force any residual moisture away from the center hopefully to the front edge.
Hi David, thank you very much for your recommendation. I am afraid that I will send the moisture further into the device while doing that.
Depending upon the model, you MacBook will be similar to the one in the video. Beneath the keyboard there is a membrane that does protect the motherboard somewhat, but you do want to position the notebook so any moisture flows down away from the motherboard. The zinc on the board is very reactive and tends to be what corrodes first (eventually causing failure). Even if you choose not to use a fan, that is how you want to position the device.
In the video they talk about not using a hair dryer which causes its own problems. Using a fan, gives air movement without causing a static charge.
Thanks a lot David. I watched it and I'm happy that I did the right thing. In such cases, it is important not to do anything wrong at least. Yes, a fan could be one of the good choices. I play a waiting game 🙄
