As I boogied in my chair, I accidently nudged my scotch glass and splashed a generous portion over the keyboard of my MacBook Pro. Uh oh! I shut my laptop down and turned it upside down to drain the fluid out. I got quite a bit out but liquid has a habit of sticking to things and I knew there was likely to be plenty inside the case.
In the morning my laptop was happy to boot but the keyboard was not functioning. I took a deep breath and decided to dismantle my laptop to examine the extent of the problem and hopefully speed up the recovery process.
I found some really nice instructions at
Mac/MacBook-Pro-15-Inch-Core-2-Duo/115/”>MacBook Pro 15″ Core 2 Duo Disassembly: MacBook Parts and after a couple of outings to my local hardware and electronics stores for a #00 screwdriver and a T6 torx driver, I had the laptop in pieces including the keyboard itself which is now sitting on a heating vent to dry out the obvious moisture.
I thought I’d summarise my experience so far in case there is not a successful outcome and I need to get my MBP professionally repaired, which will no doubt result in a blog entry of a far different tone than cautiously optimistic.
