Got an SOS this morning from a friend whose ceiling leaked in last night's rainstorm and water-damaged her Macbook. She pulled the battery and inverted the machine so the water drained the same way it went in. I told her to avoid the hair dryer solution and just to leave everything out to dry in a warm room. There is no power going to the unit.
Recommendations for how long she should wait/dry out before trying - what? Assuming a reasonably warm and dry environment, any ideas on how long it's gonna take to dry? Any special key combo to fire it up once she's satisfied all's dry, or just cross her fingers and try to fire the baby up?
(...and she hasn't responded to the "Do you have AppleCare?" question, yet.)
