Weekly Apple Mac Repair Requests. Week 3 Part 2. Updated 2023
Good day ZA Support Readers
We have received quite a few requests regarding liquid spillage on Macs.
The first question that comes to mind is I have spilled liquid on my Mac what now?
What to do first
– switch off your Mac and unplug it immediately
– use a cloth and wipe all liquid that you can see on your Mac
– arrange for an assessment as soon as possible
– if you are insured contact your broker to find out what the procedure is to claim
What not to do
– do not use a hair dryer to try to dry the liquid as it can damage the Mac
– do not use rice to try to absorb the liquid as it will cause more damage.
– do not switch your Mac back on to test it as it can cause electrical damage to the Logic Board.
– do not leave it for some time in the hope that it will dry up by itself.
– just because the Mac might startup does not mean that the corrosion inside will automatically stop.
How to avoid liquid spillage
– use a coffee mug that has a push-to-drink lever on it or try a spill-proof water bottle for refreshment.
– invest in a keyboard cover.
Until next time when we will discuss another interesting repair request.
