Hi there, I'm typing this from my iPad. Let me start this by saying I feel like such an idiot right now.
My MacBook Pro's screen and keyboard were looking dirty. So I decided to clean them off with a little bit of soap and water. I did this while the computer was powered off. I dried the computer off genetly wit ha big wad of clean tissues. Then when I thought I dried it off enough, I powered my laptop on. The caps lock button glowed green and when I tried to type in my password, they keyboard didn't work so I tried restarting my computer. Keyboard still didn't work. So I looked up online what to do for a keyboard that has stopped working. It said to click option, command, shift and the power button at the same time. Then it occurred to me that some water might have gotten in the keyboard when I was cleaning it. So I looked up what to do for possible water damage which was to place my laptop open face down on a towel and let it air dry for 72 hours. Will doing this help it? I need my computer for college. I've only had it since December 2015.
Thanks,
Julie
