and lives!
I stupidly packed my things away after a lecture and put my water bottle (with sports cap) into the same bag as my macbook. I realised my mistake when someone tapped me on the shoulder at some traffic lights and pointed out that my bag was 'leaking'.
Opened it up and found my gimp sleeve very damp on one end, took the macbook out and it seemed ok so I turned it on. It booted up and immediately froze.
Discovered at this point that water was coming out of the little vents at the back so I held it vertically and got a taxi home, resting it on my I jeans I realised how much water had got into it as a small damp patch was forming on my legs.
Got home, turned the heating on, spread a towel over the radiator and put the macbook on it vertically so any water could drain out of the vents and it would dry out.
two hours later and I'm writing this post using it
First time I booted it the screen was VERY dark, but output to my external was fine and it was functioning perfectly (no slow down or anything).. after a restart the screen was back to normal and it's all good.
I consider myself pretty lucky it still works! No more sports cap bottles for me..
