Last night, while working in front of my computer, I took a drink from a glass of water and choked, spewing water all over my ibook screen.
It was a fair amount of water, though there didn't seem to be so much space for the water to seep in. Well nothing happened for a few minutes, and then the LCD went into this "lower power" mode. In otherwords, the screened dimmed significantly (to perhaps 10% of its brightness). I could just barley see the GUI as a shadow on the screen.
Well I shut the system down for the night, pulled out the power plugs, and pray that the water will dry and things will return back tomorrow. I hope I didn't fry anything. I hope that this won't need a replacement (would cost $700 for the replacement, according to the Apple website).
Anybody have recommendations for what I should do? My poor brand-new ibook. Oh well, worse things in life could happen.
Thanks,
John
