Spilled water on my M1 pro Mac
Hi, i accidentaly spilled water on my Mac, I try to get of the water as much as possible immediately, and the charger was removed.
While I was wiping of the water the computer turned on several times and it all seemed to be fine.
How ever, I am still a little bit afraid that I might have ruined something so I just left it shut down.
How long should I wait before using it again? To make sure the water get dry… I don’t have any tool to open it.
Is dit een goede vraag?

Did your computer survive?

Yes it did! But I noticed heavily reduced battery life time after just one and a half year usage. Not sure if it’s due to the accident or my personal use.
The battery health is at 88%. Still better than not functioning Mac.
If you wonder what I did, Its as Alisha has suggested. You get a clue if you read her post and the comments.
I’ve also waited 48 hour and not 24 before I turned the Mac on again. Just to be at the safe side

Had the same after-effects. Turns out a chip was somehow shorted and never turned off. I could still use it, but had to take care to keep it plugged in whenever possible, otherwise it would lose time. As you say, better than a non-functioning computer.

Hey Kwan! I wanted to ask if your MacBook is still working and functioning as good as it was, I spilled some iced tea over my new MacBook Pro 13inch last week and I turned it upside down and dried it as much as possible but I didn't know I wasn't supposed to turn it off for sometime, I had an important assignment that day and I got back to working on my laptop afterwards. its still working and no harm seems to be done but I wanna know if there will be any future damages so I can set money aside. Thanks a lot for your posts and any answers will be appreciated!

I'd say your computer is running on borrowed time, unfortunately, especially if your iced tea had sugar in it. Corrosion will slowly settle in and give you all sort of random issues before the laptop finally dies. Of course it all depends on the amount of iced tea that went inside, and where.
