I can't justify myself paying that much to replace the screen and can't wait two weeks (i have important work to do). I called AppleCare UK and they estimated the cost of repair to be an outrageous £750 (US$1,500) and will take TWO weeks to repair. I guess the screen is messed up but the machine itself is okay. So i tried connecting it to an external monitor, to my surprise it worked. Screen turned on (very dark), saw the Apple logo It has been about four days since the spillage and I have tried turning my MBP on today. Thank you everyone for your positive inputs. I am going to let the MBP dry for 3 days (is this long enough?). Is there anything else that I can do to make sure that my MBP will come back to life without any further issues? I really am not in the position to buy a new laptop or cover the cost of motherboard replacement etc. Now my MBP is sitting on my desk with the battery out and the power adapter separated (unplugged, ofcourse). It's not just the laptop that got soaked but the power adapter as well. Now, I don't want to do this yet as I've heard successful stories from people who spilled water on their laptops and wait a few days for it to dry. I called AppleCare and they told me there's nothing they can do but advise me the nearest Apple Store where I have to take my MBP in. The top part of the laptop (DVD drive) and keyboard was dry and not affected by this accident. I also pressed the power button for 8 seconds after taking the battery out (as t his turns off all the electiric circuit?) The water got inside the vents (below the screen hinge).
I immediately took out the battery and drained water out of my MBP. I have an iSkin ProTouch Keyboard cover so I think water didn't get intside the keyboard. The MBP was closed in standby mode, it was kept inside a foam-thingy case which got soaked as well. My MBP was inside a messenger bag and the (tap) water bottle cap got loose and guess what, water flooded the 1/3 bottom of my bag (and yes, the MBP was in it).
