I often panic when I suddenly have trouble with my Mac not starting or turning on the power.There are various causes of symptoms such as Mac not starting and not turning on.The screen is black and won′t boot. The Apple mark appears, but the operating system is not working.
The cause of symptoms and failures caused by submergence is
MacBook may fail due to submergence or wetting of water, and the causes of symptoms may be as follows.
The wet and submerged areas are often not just the surface of the MacBook.
Water enters and penetrates through the intake and exhaust vents.
The inside of the Mac can be wet.
If moisture remains inside the Mac, important parts such as the motherboard and foundation will be damaged and corroded.
1. Wet/submerged areas are often not just the surface of the MacBook
Try removing keys and buttons on the surface and keyboard one by one to avoid judging that the wipe is complete.
2. Moisture enters through the intake and exhaust vents and penetrates.
On the surface, if you judge that it is dry or finished wiping, the condition may deteriorate.MacBooks and other personal computers have gaps that are many suction and exhaust ports, and liquid such as water often enters through these gaps.If you look closely at the connections between the keyboard and the screen and the movable parts that open and close, you can see that there are many gaps and holes.When the liquid spills onto the Mac, it penetrates from here.
3. The water in the Mac may remain.
Even if wet areas such as the screen/Apple mark, bottom, keyboard, button, vent, etc. are wiped off, moisture may remain inside the Mac, so be careful.It takes time for water to evaporate completely.
4. If moisture remains inside the Mac, important parts such as the motherboard and foundation will be damaged and corroded.

If water remains inside the Mac, there is an increased risk of corrosion of important parts (base such as the motherboard).Moisture will corrode metal parts.You need to be more careful when liquid other than water spills out.If liquid containing non-water ingredients such as tea, coffee, juice, and soup remains in the Mac, corrosion of the metal part will progress.As a result, the foundation is damaged or broken.
How to repair and restore MacBook when it is submerged or wet
If you spill any liquid on your MacBook, don′t panic and try the following methods.
Power Off (System Shutdown)
Disconnect all connected power adapters, charging cables, etc.
wipe and remove wet areas well
dry
take backup data
break down and wipe out moisture
1. Power Off (System Shutdown)
If the Mac is still wet and energized, the circuit will be shorted and it will cause a failure.Be sure to turn off the power before you do any work.
2. Disconnect all connected power adapters, charging cables, etc.

When water spills or gets wet, it is important to remove all connected items such as the power adapter and charging cable immediately.Remove the power adapter from the wall outlet.If the Mac is not turned off or off, turn off the system and unplug the charging cable.MacBooks may fail if they continue to be energized and charged when water gets wet.
3. Wipe and remove wet areas well
After confirming that the electricity is not energized in the order of 1 to 2, wipe the wet area thoroughly with a dry, clean cloth.If it is submerged on the desk, water may remain after wiping the desk, so wipe it off on another desk without moisture.Water tends to remain in small gaps such as vents, so let′s wipe it off while lightly pressing the cloth.
4. Dry
Even if the surface is determined to have been wiped off, the liquid may penetrate into the Mac and remain.Underneath the keyboard, there are motherboards and other important components.If your MacBook is wet or submerged, place the keyboard part facing down on a clean, soft towel, etc. to drain moisture.If water remains inside the PC, important parts and foundations may corrode, so sufficient drying is required.If there is too much water spilled or it is likely to be inside, consider consulting a specialist repair and restoration company as soon as possible.
5. Take backup data

Let′s turn on the power when it′s dry enough.If you turn on the power when the dryness is insufficient, it will lead to deterioration of the condition and failure, so you need to be careful.Try to back up your data as soon as you turn it on and boot it up.If you think that you were able to start up as usual and don′t do anything, you may experience problems such as not turning on the power after a few hours or a few days.If you′re not sure if it′s dry enough, or if you′re worried, or if the liquid spilled on your computer is other than water, don′t push yourself too hard, you should contact a professional repair and restoration company before proceeding.

When using Mac′s PC, the data you created disappeared, deleted the file by mistake, spilled drinks such as water and alcohol, and the MacBook lost power, and suddenly froze, so some of you might be in a hurry or in trouble.Here are some data recovery and recovery methods that you can try in the event of symptoms or problems with your Mac, as well as ways and measures to prevent data loss.
6. Decompose and wipe and remove water
If you are used to disconnecting or handling a computer, please disassemble it and wipe off the wet part.When water enters the Mac, it takes time for it to evaporate.The liquid that remains until it evaporates will corrode the metal parts, and the condition will get worse and worse.Therefore, if the liquid is spilled, it is necessary to wipe off the wet part and dry it on the outside and inside of the personal computer.However, decomposition of precision instruments such as personal computers is often difficult in terms of expertise, technology, and environment.Don′t push yourself too hard and leave it to a repair and recovery company as soon as possible if you′re using a computer that stores important data, a Mac that you love, or if you′re worried about your work.Things you shouldn′t do when you′re submerged and things you want to be careful about
turn on the power immediately
do not leave insufficient wipes
No sun, dryer, fan heater.
fail to turn on the power without sufficient dryness
get worse over time with wet spots remaining
You can′t use free software on a submerged Mac.
1. Do not turn on the power immediately
It is important to turn off the power immediately if you spill liquid on your computer while it is on.Don′t press the button immediately even if you want to check if the power is turned on after wiping.Water has not evaporated in a few minutes or hours.If the electricity is energized with water remaining, it may cause short circuit, malfunction, or deterioration of the condition may occur.It needs to be dry for a day to a few days.
2. Do not leave it in an insufficient state of wiping.
The spilled liquid penetrates into the inside through the gap.The game depends on how much you will be immersed immediately after spilling.Especially when liquid other than water is spilled on the Mac, wipe it off carefully.It is important to wipe the vent carefully and make sure there is no residue.
3. It is not allowed to dry with sunlight, dryer, or fan heater.
A sun-dried method can be considered as a drying method, but a personal computer is a very delicateIf you get the heat of sunlight, it may break down.Also, avoid drying with a dryer or fan heater.The whole Mac gets hot right away, and it also leads to the cause of the failure.Dryers are not recommended because not only the heat but also the moisture from the computer can go deeper due to the wind.Avoid using both hot and cold air.
4. Do not turn on the power without sufficient dryness
Even if the lamp is turned on by connecting the power adapter or charging cable immediately after wiping it off, you should not turn on the power there.If the power is turned on without sufficient dryness to the inside of the Mac, the condition of the Mac itself will increase, such as heat generation, power failure, and deterioration.
5. It gets worse as time goes by while the wet spots remain
Please be aware that if the Mac breaks down after a long time without sufficient wiping of the wet part, the repairable fee may be expensive.If you want to reduce the repair cost, you should consult with them as soon as possible.
6. You cannot use free software on submerged Macs.
Use free software when there is no problem with your computer.Since it is difficult to restore data by launching software or apps on a submerged Mac, if you need to save data, consider asking a specialized recovery company.
If you can′t use your Mac, think about repairing it or restoring it.
If the Mac is submerged and you can′t use it, let′s consider the following measures.
Mac Repair
Data Recovery in Mac
Even if it′s just a diagnosis, it′s early.
1. Repairing Mac

There are a lot of parts inside the MacBook, and if moisture seeps inside, it increases the risk of damaging the base of the PC, such as the motherboard, which is important to the PC, or the parts that break down.As time passes with moisture remaining, erosion spreads, and the condition deteriorates, such as corrosion of the foundation or short circuiting.If the Mac monitor mentioned above is not showing due to submergence, the LCD is stained, only a part of the screen is showing, the screen is off, the color is strange, the Mac keyboard is not working, the Mac does not start, does not stand up, does not turn on, etc., consider sending it for repair.If it′s a repair company, it′s safe to do the repair work after being dismantled and cleaned by a professional technician.
2.Recovery of data in Mac

Even if the inside of the Mac gets wet and the parts inside are broken, the data inside is often recoverable.Remove the hard drive or SSD if possible.As time passes after the submergence, it may cause corrosion to the foundation, memory, damage to internal parts such as HDDs, and data loss or difficulty in extracting, so let′s move quickly.Those who are worried or worried about the disassembly and removal work.For those who value data and those who value Macs, consider consulting a professional data recovery company or repair company without forcing them to work.It immediately rescues important data and relieves anxiety.
