Reply to comment by xdracx in Can we please normalise the fact putting your wet device in rice isn’t a smart idea? Rice isn’t a magical product. Instead put it in a dry area with sufficient airflow! by [deleted]

So you dropped iso alcohol all over the mac to deal with that?

yeah I disconnected the battery and poured it on the Mac and the internals. I made sure it was completely powered down and nothing remained. I then blew air on it to make sure there wasn’t any residual water left inside small places. It was essentially dry.

But I don’t usually recommend it if you aren’t handy. If you can’t comfortably open up a MacBook and take it apart and put it back with ease then I don’t recommend it. Though it may be somewhat easier.. sometimes people lose the screws or tear connectors.

Oh ok. Makes sense. You needed to open up the mac. I just imagined you dumping it on the keyboard all that 😄

I mean I got an old 2007 MacBook Pro I can try that on
