您是否曾将水洒在MacBook上？您可能会感到一阵恐慌袭来，但不要害怕！在本文中，我们将引导您了解应该做什么和不应该做什么，以最大程度地减少水对Apple小工具的损害。
无论您拥有MacBook Pro、MacBook Air还是其他一款 Apple MacBook型号，这些提示都适用于您。
1. DO：立即关机(Down)并断电(Power Off)
漏水后要做的第一件事就是立即关闭 MacBook(shut down your MacBook)。电源按钮通常位于MacBook(MacBook)键盘的右上角，是您的第一道防线。按住它直到MacBook关机。这将有助于防止短路，短路可能会对MacBook的内部组件（例如CPU、SSD或硬盘驱动器）造成不可逆转的损坏。
2. 不要：摇晃你的 MacBook
避免(Avoid)摇动 MacBook 以去除水分。这可能会导致液体扩散，可能到达尚未到达的区域并造成更大的损害。
3.不要(DON)：使用吹风机(Hairdryer)吹干MacBook
虽然你可能很想用吹风机来加速干燥过程，但请避免这样做。吹风机产生的热量可能会对MacBook的内部组件造成进一步损坏，并使硅胶部件变形。相反，应让MacBook在凉爽、干燥的环境中风干。
不要试图使用任何额外的热源来让Mac更快干燥。这包括将其放在阳光充足的地方，即使该位置是在室内并且阳光透过窗户照射进来。电子产品比大多数人想象的更容易受热！另外，虽然我们讨厌这样说，但不要将任何电子产品放入微波炉中。微波炉不是这样工作的。
4. 做：用纸巾(Paper Towels)吸收液体(Absorb Liquid)
拿一块柔软、吸水的纸巾轻轻擦拭（不要摩擦！）溢出的水。此方法可以帮助清除MacBook(MacBook)表面的部分液体。
只要吸水毛巾的某些部分接触到液体，它就会被芯吸到材料中。耐心是关键；我们知道您很恐慌，但重要的是不要让事情变得更糟。
5.不要(DON)：插入充电器(Your Charger)或任何(Any)外围设备
在确定MacBook完全干燥之前，请勿将其插入充电器或连接任何外围设备（例如USB驱动器）。(USB)这样做可能会导致短路。溅水后
至少等待(Wait)48 小时，然后再尝试打开MacBook 电源。(MacBook)
如果您的任何外围设备在事件期间被弄湿，即使当时未通电，也请使用相同的基本原则将其擦干并等待相同的时间，然后再尝试再次使用它们。
6. 要做：将MacBook 倒置(MacBook Upside Down)
关闭MacBook 电源(MacBook)并用纸巾擦去溢出的水后，将MacBook倒置。这个位置可以让剩余的水排出并蒸发，而不是进一步渗入MacBook的内部组件，例如逻辑板。
倒置笔记本电脑时要非常小心。现代MacBook 的(MacBook)屏幕又薄又脆弱。因此，将笔记本电脑支撑在“帐篷”结构中可能会因承受非设计负载而损坏屏幕。
相反，您可能需要将笔记本电脑倒置在铺有柔软毛巾的枕头上。请务必小心，不要刮伤 MacBook 的屏幕。
7.不要(DON)：尝试维修自己的 MacBook(Service Your Own MacBook)
如果AppleCare 服务计划(AppleCare)不涵盖您的MacBook，您可能会想要自行进行水损坏维修。然而，这是有风险的，可能会导致进一步的损害。相反，请将进水的MacBook送往授权的Apple服务提供商或信誉良好的维修店。
尽管最近的苹果(Apple)电脑情况发生了变化，但大多数Mac 电脑(Macs)并不是真正为用户可维修而设计的。即使您足够聪明，可以打开Mac亲自检查，肉眼也不一定能明显看出水损坏。拥有正确的检查和测试设备的人可以检查腐蚀或单个部件的问题。
8. 应做：联系Apple或值得信赖的维修店(Trusted Repair Shop)
事件发生后，请立即联系Apple或值得信赖的维修店。Apple提供的诊断程序可以评估(Apple)MacBook的液体损坏程度。值得一提的是，水损坏通常不在保修范围内，但如果您购买了AppleCare+，则根据计划的具体条款和条件，您可能会获得一些保护。
此外，如果您的计算机已向保险公司投保，那么除了盗窃之外，它很可能会受到意外损坏的承保。不要以为超出保修期就没有追索权！
9.不要(DON)：假设您的(Your) MacBook与(Same)您的(Your)iPhone或 iPad相同
虽然较新的 iPhone 和 iPad 型号具有防水功能，但MacBook(MacBooks)却并非如此。因此(Therefore)，不要认为您的MacBook可以像 iOS 设备一样处理液体溢出问题。
由于笔记本电脑不是整体式的，因此使其防水要困难得多。虽然您不会将 iPad 或 iPhone 浸入池中，但溅上几滴水可能不会对它们造成任何伤害。虽然一杯水可能意味着MacBook或任何笔记本电脑的终结。
10. 应做：移除所有(Any)可移除组件
如果您的MacBook型号有任何可拆卸组件（例如MacBook电池），请将其卸下。这将有助于这些部件单独风干，从而可能减少腐蚀。
不幸的是，截至撰写本文时， MacBook(MacBooks)已经十多年没有可拆卸电池了，因此除非您仍在使用其中一台Mac(Macs)（很多人都在使用！），否则电池是粘在里面的，最好留在原处。
11.不要(DON)：忘记备份数据
始终确保定期备份数据。您永远不知道何时会发生漏水或其他事故。如果液体溢出损坏了硬盘或SSD，进行备份可以避免丢失重要文档和数据。
不幸的是，现代MacBook(MacBooks)没有可移动存储，硬件加密可以保护磁盘上的数据不被提取。但是，即使您没有手动备份系统，您的重要文档也很有可能已上传到 iCloud。因此，如果您的笔记本电脑被液体永久损坏，导致无法恢复数据，请使用网络浏览器检查您的 iCloud 帐户，看看是否有任何内容已自动保存。
12. 不要：使用干燥剂
为了使水蒸发，空气越干燥越好。因此，降低空气湿度会促进水从设备的每个角落蒸发，这似乎是有道理的。您可以从大多数超市购买干燥剂除湿器包，并将其与MacBook(MacBook)一起放入橱柜或容器中。
然而，就像使用干米作为干燥剂是毫无意义的一样，这对您的MacBook(MacBook)没有任何帮助。正如iFixit(iFixit)（该公司已停止生产自己的Thirsty Bag干燥剂产品）所解释的那样，当液体接触电子元件时就会发生腐蚀和短路。唯一真正的解决方案是使用可以在腐蚀扩散之前将其消除的化学品。
13.不要(DON)：忽视触控板(Trackpad)、键盘(Keyboard)和触摸板(Touchpad)
触控板、键盘和触摸板比您想象的更容易受到水的损坏。如果这些组件受潮，它们可能会变得无响应。确保用干燥、不起毛的布彻底擦拭它们，然后让它们风干。纸巾(Paper)对于屏幕或触摸板来说太粗糙，因此总的来说，柔软的无绒布可能是更好的选择，但就像用毛巾擦干一样，不要擦得太用力！
14. 一定要做：考虑保护套
(Invest)为您的MacBook购买一个保护壳。虽然这不会使您的MacBook防水，但它可以提供防止轻微泼溅的第一道防线。有些手机壳甚至配有硅胶成分，可以帮助防止液体损坏。
如果您的笔记本电脑处于打开状态，这并没有多大帮助，但无论如何都比没有保护好。
15. 要做：检查你的MacOS和软件(Software)
一旦您的MacBook干燥并重新打开电源，请务必检查您的MacOS和其他软件是否有任何故障或故障的迹象。水(Water)损坏有时会影响软件的性能，因此请留意任何异常情况。
如果您足够幸运，拥有一台在溅水后仍能开机的MacBook，请不要认为这是理所当然的。尽快备份数据，以防数据因接触液体而损坏而再次停止工作
。(Make)
水洒在MacBook上并不一定会带来灾难。通过遵循这些注意事项，您可以防止进一步的损坏、保护您的数据并最大限度地提高成功修复的机会。
请记住(Remember)，如有疑问，最好咨询Apple专卖店或值得信赖的维修店的专业人士。他们拥有管理水灾修复的工具和专业知识，可以为您提供最佳的结果。
Spilled Water on Your MacBook? 15 Things You Should and Shouldn’t Do
Haνе you ever spіlled water on your MаcBoоk? You might feel a wave of panic crashing over уоu, but fear not! In this article, we’ll walk you through the proсess of what you should and shouldn’t do to minimize water damage to your Apple gadget.
Whether you own a MacBook Pro, MacBook Air, or another one of Apple’s MacBook models, these tips apply to you.
1. DO: Shut Down and Power Off Immediately
The first thing to do after a water spill is to shut down your MacBook immediately. The power button, usually located at the top right corner of the MacBook keyboard, is your first line of defense. Press and hold it until your MacBook powers off. This will help prevent a short circuit, which could inflict irreversible damage to your MacBook’s internal components, such as the CPU, SSD, or hard drive.
2. DON’T: Shake Your MacBook
Avoid shaking your MacBook in an attempt to remove the water. This can cause the liquid to spread, potentially reaching areas it hadn’t already and causing more damage.
3. DON’T: Use a Hairdryer to Dry Your MacBook
While it might be tempting to grab a hairdryer to speed up the drying process, avoid doing so. The heat from a hairdryer can cause further damage to your MacBook’s internal components and can warp the silicone parts. Instead, let your MacBook air dry in a cool, dry environment.
Don’t feel tempted to use any additional heat source to make your Mac dry faster. That includes leaving it in a sunny location, even if that location is indoors and the sun is coming through a window. Electronics are more vulnerable to heat than most people think! Also, while we hate that it has to be said, don’t put anything electronic in the microwave. That’s not how microwaves work.
4. DO: Use Paper Towels to Absorb Liquid
Take a soft, absorbent paper towel and gently dab (don’t rub!) at the water spill. This method can help remove some of the liquid from the surface of your MacBook.
As long as some part of the absorbent towel is touching the liquid, it should wick up into the material. Patience is key here; we know you’re panicking, but it’s important not to make things worse.
5. DON’T: Plug in Your Charger or Any Peripherals
Do not plug your MacBook into its charger or connect any peripherals, like a USB drive, until you’re sure it’s completely dry. Doing so could cause a short circuit. Wait at least 48 hours before attempting to power on your MacBook after a water spill.
If any of your peripherals got wet during the incident, even if they weren’t powered on at the time, use the same basic principles to dry them and wait the same amount of time before trying to use them again.
6. DO: Turn Your MacBook Upside Down
Once you’ve powered off your MacBook and dabbed the water spill with a paper towel, turn your MacBook upside down. This position will allow any remaining water to drain out and evaporate rather than seep further into the MacBook’s internal components, such as the logic board.
Be very careful when inverting your laptop. Modern MacBook have thin, fragile screens. So propping your laptop up in a “tent” configuration could damage the screen by subjecting it to loads it wasn’t designed for.
Instead, you might want to turn your laptop upside down on a pillow covered with a soft towel. Be very careful not to scratch the MacBook’s screen.
7. DON’T: Attempt to Service Your Own MacBook
If AppleCare doesn’t cover your MacBook, you might be tempted to perform your own water damage repair. However, this is risky and could lead to further damage. Instead, take your water-damaged MacBook to an authorized Apple service provider or a reputable repair shop.
Although things have changed with more recent Apple computers, most of the Macs out there aren’t really designed to be user repairable. Even if you’re savvy enough to open your Mac and inspect it yourself, water damage isn’t necessarily apparent to the naked eye. Someone with the correct inspection and testing equipment can check for corrosion or individual component problems.
8. DO: Contact Apple or a Trusted Repair Shop
Don’t hesitate to contact Apple or a trusted repair shop immediately after the incident. Apple offers diagnostics that can assess the extent of the liquid damage to your MacBook. It’s worth mentioning that water damage isn’t typically covered under warranty, but if you’ve invested in AppleCare+, you might have some protection depending on the specific terms and conditions of your plan.
Also, if your computer is insured with your insurance company, there’s a good chance it’s covered for both accidental damage in addition to theft. Don’t assume that because you’re out of warranty there’s no recourse!
9. DON’T: Assume Your MacBook Is the Same as Your iPhone or iPad
While newer iPhone and iPad models have water-resistant features, this isn’t the case for MacBooks. Therefore, don’t assume that your MacBook can handle a liquid spill as well as your iOS gadgets can.
Because laptops are not monolithic, it’s much harder to make them water-resistant. While you wouldn’t dunk your iPad or iPhone in a pool, a few splashes of water probably wouldn’t hurt them in any way. While a glass of water can spell the end for a MacBook, or any laptop really.
10. DO: Remove Any Removable Components
If your MacBook model has any removable components, like the MacBook battery, remove them. This will help these parts air dry separately, potentially reducing corrosion.
Unfortunately, MacBooks have not had removable batteries in over a decade as of this writing, so unless you’re still using one of these Macs (many people are!) the battery is glued-in and best left where it is.
11. DON’T: Forget to Back Up Your Data
Always ensure that you regularly back up your data. You never know when a water spill or another accident might occur. If the liquid spill has damaged the hard drive or SSD, having a backup can save you from losing important documents and data.
Unfortunately, modern MacBooks don’t have removable storage, and hardware encryption protects the data on the disk from being extracted. However, even if you didn’t manually back up your system, there’s a good chance your crucial documents have been uploaded to iCloud. So if your laptop has been permanently damaged by liquid making it impossible to get your data back, check your iCloud account with a web browser and see if anything has been automatically saved.
12. DON’T: Use a Desiccant
For water to evaporate, drier air is better. So it seems to make sense that making the air less humid will encourage water to evaporate from every nook and cranny of your device. You can buy a desiccant dehumidifier pack from most supermarkets and put them in a cupboard or container along with your MacBook.
However, just like using dry rice as a desiccant is pointless, this won’t do anything to help your MacBook. As explained by iFixit (who discontinued their own Thirsty Bag desiccant product) corrosion and shorts happen the moment the liquid touches the electronic components. The only real solution is to use chemicals that can remove the corrosion before it spreads.
13. DON’T: Neglect the Trackpad, Keyboard, and Touchpad
The trackpad, keyboard, and touchpad are more vulnerable to water damage than you might think. If these components get wet, they could potentially become unresponsive. Make sure to wipe them down thoroughly with a dry, lint-free cloth and let them air dry. Paper towels are too rough for screens or touchpads, so a soft lint-free cloth is probably a better choice on balance, but just as with your towel-based drying, don’t rub too hard!
14. DO: Consider a Protective Case
Invest in a protective case for your MacBook. While this won’t make your MacBook water-resistant, it can provide a first line of defense against minor spills. Some cases even have silicone components that can help protect against liquid damage.
That’s not much help if your laptop was open, but anything is better than no protection at all.
15. DO: Check Your MacOS and Software
Once your MacBook is dry and you’ve powered it back on, make sure to check your MacOS and other software for any signs of glitching or failure. Water damage can sometimes affect the performance of your software, so keep an eye out for anything unusual.
If you’re lucky enough to have a MacBook that still powers on after a spill, don’t take it for granted. Make backups of your data as soon as possible, in case it stops working again thanks to damage from liquid exposure.
Spilling water on your MacBook doesn’t have to spell disaster. By following these dos and don’ts, you can prevent further damage, safeguard your data, and maximize the chances of a successful repair.
Remember, when in doubt, it’s best to consult with professionals at an Apple store or a trusted repair shop. They have the tools and expertise to manage water damage repair and can provide you with the best possible outcome.
