Melted notebook
I melted my MacBook Pro, it all started when I spilled water on the keyboard of my notebook. I then tried to dry it with hair dryer and it melted the keyboard. So I gotta call Apple now to find out how much it costs for a replacement keyboard.
The notebook is not even one year!
Looking on the bright side, this happened right after I purchased a new 20” iMac (Core 2 Duo). I now have to move all my work from the MacBook Pro to the iMac until I can get it repaired.

Oops! No warranty applied for this kind of accident. I hope you got it replaced soon.

I did some research and fortunately you can just replace the keycap of the keyboard so it’s not going to cost too much. I hope the keyboard is not damaged because of the water. That would cause more problem for me.

Wow, I wonder will my macbook (without “pro”) keyboard could also got melted that way. I found quite alot of pictures around the net about melting keyboard in the pro laptop line (powerbook and macbook pro).
How much does it cost to replace the keyboard?

Oscar: Don’t know yet because the accident happened during the weekend. They don’t have any technician available. Gotta wait until Monday to find out.

Man, that stinks. At least you didn’t set it on a heat to dry! That could have spelled the end of the notebook.

Ouch. That blows, literally. I will keep my hair dryer away from my laptop.

Seen a lot of laptops damaged by drink spills, never a melted one from a hairdryer! ;)
Best thing to do is quickly turn over the laptop and then leave it on a towel in a warm place.

Another Mac down! My friend did something like this only he melted his with a heater after spilling coffee on it. It wound up as a brown Macbook with a demented keyboard. :P

Ouch! That bad to hear. Did you have the hair drier on high heat or low? One of my freinds just got a Mac book, Guess I’ll warn her about this.

Damn, this is one hell of a coincedence. Just one hour ago, for the first time in my life, I spilt water on my laptop keyboard and blow dried it with a hair drier. Then I just happen to stumble on this site.
