Looks like I don’t have much luck nowadays. Yesterday I spilled cold icetea over my MacBook and my external Mac Pro keyboard. Well, ok – Apple replaces the external one (ahem!), but the MacBook repair costs would be 400-500€ regarding to the service provider. Hinted by Constantin to visit ifixit.com, I really found very good instructions to get to the keyboard (and it took me about 45mins).
So I bought distilled water and now the keyboard and the plastic frame which is mounted below the keyboard is taking a bath for a couple of hours. Hopefully it will work, if not, I had ruined a 1.100€ MacBook within a few seconds (it’s the 2008 Unibody Alu version).
For amusement – or shocking – here are 2 pics showing the keyboard in the water.
Press thumbs, guys!

hahaha~ i remember i bought a coke and open it, then pressure from inside of the can burst out and wetting my keyboard, lcd and floor. luckily it didn’t spoil anything except my mood ;panyway, if i were you, i’d took out the unworking key, clean it up a bit and let it sit under sun for 30 minutes – enough to dry up anything (depends on your temperature, here in malaysia its hot through the year)

I had the classic flight attendant spilling water over my Macbook incident right before a meeting where I had to present.Fortunately, it was only a few drops on top of the right grille and a quick movement plus a few hours of resting was enough to not allow it to do any damage. But that was really close, though…Good luck with your keyboard and make sure everything’s dry before you put it together again!Cheers, Constantin
