Yes, you read that right. She began to work properly today. I can't be happier. I thought she was dead and beyond repair (the cost to fix her would have been slightly less than to replace her all together). My kids think it was the elf-on-the-shelf we named Jingle's doing. Maybe it was magic.
Maybe it was that I left it alone for about a month and just turned it on for the first time today because all the other computers were being used for school-work. Who knows but it works. It was damaged by my 6 year old dumping a whole glass of water on it while it was on. It was filtered water as though that makes any difference.
Thought I'd share my great news. Now I'll be posting a lot more often.

Just found this through a google search of "Macbook water damaged suddenly works" because mine too was suddenly resurrected today! About half a pint of beer (!!!!!!!) was spillt on it - there was a shortage sound and a flash from within then it turned off and hasn't been on since early February as it wouldn't charge or recognise a power source.
ReplyDeleteThe repair cost quoted to me by Apple of this FOUR MONTH OLD macbook Pro was also a little less than buying a new one, so I declined...... 2 months after the spill I decided to plug it in for no particular reason, and it just turned on - absolutely no issues! I am beyond happy!
Anyone else who stumbles upon here - leave it alone for a few months! Don't give in to Apple and their high repair costs - it'll dry up on it's own (in a warm place) and come back to life with some patience and faith!
