Water tipped over the keyboard of Macbook what to do?

A mishap just happened to me and I poured a glass of water onto the keyboard. I quickly got a towel and dried it.
But the laptop did not go out on its own. Everything still works except the sound.
I have now completely turned it off and turned it upside down.

Leave to dry for 1-2 days, if everything has evaporated, you have a good chance that it will survive.

if you turn it on too early a drop may cause a short circuit, then you have an expensive piece of electrical waste…

Yes. Just let it dry without turning it on… Upside down is also good…

But if broken then broken…

You can dry it. You would now put a cell phone in the oven at 50-70 ° or so, possibly even warmer. So that the stuff dries, with a laptop I don't know if you should do it there, you would have to take out the battery in one way or another, just inform yourself if this is possible because I'm not sure… Apple Care does not pay for water damage as I currently have on the screen…

I'm not responsible for any damage.

Oa

What is an old, well-known trick is to put the laptop in rice for a day, it draws all the liquid.

But since the speakers may have broken here, you can wait to see if they'll work in a few hours or use them, if they no longer work then just use an external speaker (e.g. 25 Euro JBL box) and you'll have sound again.

Unfortunately this is a stupid mishap,

I would ask an expert or replace the sound box.

Exchange all electronics that are related to the sound.

Are you crazy 🤦♀️

Of course only the board, not the whole laptop. The display disassembles at temperature. Then you have to disassemble and dry the individual components.

If something was formulated unfortunate, I add to xD
