Hello everyone,
I had my macbook pro outside listening to music and long story short, i was gone while it was open outside and it started drizzling for about 15 min. When I was listening to music it eventually died so it powered off before it started raining which helps the water damage. I brought it inside, wipped it down and put rice on the keyboard which i wrapped saran wrap around. I have yet to try to turn it on or plug it in. i need some advice on what to do next. I took off the back of my macbook pro after i took the saran wrap off becasue i figured taking the back off would be more efficient and there was no water damage it looked like. I need some specioal screwdrivers to take most of it apart but i got the back off and i am just letting it sit.. Any advice on what i should do next? wait a few days to try turning it back on so it can dry? put it in rice? take evrything apart? blowdry it? Thanks so much for advice!!!
