Hey fellow macsters,
In a very stressfull early morning moment, a fair bit of a glass of water splashed across my mbp's keyboard from the right hand side a few days ago. I immediately hard powered down and got the battery out then left it for 2 days to dry out. After that it booted fine but was acting all sluggish and the keyboard response was glitchy, i guess from some residual moisture, so i shut down again and left it another 18 hours.
I started up this morning and it seems to be OK. It was a bit slow at first but that might have been it recovering from the hard power down. It seems ok now but is there anything else I should do? Should I run the hardware tests? (And in fact for the MBP where are they, unlike my older machine there was no specific Hardware test disc, just install disc 1 and 2 for 10.4.).
I use time machine though would lose a few days as i was away from home, but am running it now since it seems to work. I also have my AppleCare disc, which has techtool on it it seems.
As i write this i just had what seemed to be a stuck down cursor key (though stopped once i blew on the key), which suggests maybe something is still going on. :/
So what next? If it all works am I likely to be lucky? Anything I should look out for? At worst I have accidental damage insurance for my apartment contents so could get it replaced but obviously I'd prefer not to have the hassle.
Cheers!
