What to Do in Case of Coffee Spilling on your MacBook

index 

Deep in the night, the lights in Gina’s study remains ablaze as she is hunched over her computer   reviewing the presentation she has volunteered to give the following morning. Her team is bidding for a major project which could spell out the future of their humble startup company. She knows the competition will be cut-throat, so she better be great tomorrow to snatch this job. She got up to refill her coffee cup to calm her nerves. Upon her return to her desk, she tripped over and the scalding coffee spilled over her white linen pants and worse, her white Mac book.

This midnight scenario might just be in everybody’s book of horrors.  So before this nightmare has come knocking on your door, we better get our wits together and remember the right responses in this crisis. So, let us go through a quick drill on how to rescue your laptop.
  1. Shut it off right away! More damage will be done to your computer if the batteries are not removed immediately. The power cord must also be unplugged as soon as you can. This is a smart move in avoiding short circuit that may not only damage your device but may also harm you.
  2. Do not hair dry your computer. This can cause melting of plastic parts of your Mac.
  3. Turn your computer upside down to remove water that has not already seeped through it.
  4. Wipe up excess coffee from your computer’s surface using a soft, lint-free cloth.
  5. If the liquid has seeped into your Mac, only trust the professionals to do the cleanup and drying.  Coffee is a sticky liquid that will leave some residue in your laptop so seek help from trained technicians for your Mac repair.
Coffee and laptops do not mix. So, dealing with a wet computer can drag you down especially if are racing against time. For a reliable pit stop, rush to the experts to get your machine back to its tiptop shape.
