Aside from dismantling the slab, the best thing is to let it dry naturally (no heat sources like hairdryers, direct sunlight, etc.) in a well-ventilated and dry area.

Thank you for your response. To dry it, should I place it on its spine, like a book? And for how long?

It seems that the water is evaporating. Between the photo I took about 4 hours ago and now, there are clearly fewer halos. They should be gone in a few days. I will keep you updated afterwards. As for the Mac monitoring, I've been working on it since noon. Thank you for your responses.

Hi!  I made the same mistake and I wanted to know if the halos have completely disappeared since then?

same problem, a big halo on the screen I have a vague impression that since this morning it is fading but nothing is certain :/
Can those who have experienced this before tell me if yes or no it has faded over time?

Hi!

Personally, the task has faded but there are still slight traces when I look at my profile screen.
However, it’s not bothersome when I look at it from the front.
Hoping your halo disappears!!

same here, it just happened to me while cleaning the screen with window cleaner spray (remember to spray it on the cloth instead of the screen for those reading this...) I was wondering if Apple support would cover this under the warranty?

Hello, it just happened to me too :s I see that the messages are a bit dated, so I'm asking you if since then the water has come out of the screen. Thanks in advance.

beno35 · Answer

Unfortunately, it's been several months already, and I still have stains inside.
For your information, it wasn't water but beer. That's what happens when you have Electro parties with a bunch of C....rds who apologize a week later by specifying that it was beer...

Help me!!!
I just spilled a bit of water on my MacBook.
There is a small ring at the bottom left (5cm), the water must be trapped in the edge because if I press a little more, water comes out. I'm not closing the laptop because that would push more water inside.

Help me quickly find a solution because if my parents find out, I'm finished. I'm going to turn it off and leave it open hoping it dries.
Send me advice as soon as possible, thank you!!

Patience... see if you can put it aside! In the right direction... good luck!

glamy87 · Answer

how to put it on the side? In any case, there's a little less water now, and the water that was in the slice has evaporated.

glamy87 · Answer

the halo is definitely disappearing!!

glamy87 · Answer

bad news today the halo seems to no longer evaporate...

I had the same problem as in this photo: http://nsa06.casimages.com/img/2009/04/12/090412115442787018.jpg

The product that left streaks inside my screen was window cleaner with ammonia.

To solve my problem:

1. I first dried the edges of my screen with a hairdryer on medium heat for about 10 minutes (without closing my computer, but I advise against doing that?!)

2. Next, I placed my computer in front of a dehumidifier for 2-3 days.

3. I'm now on the fourth day and there are just very small drops left. I think my problem is almost solved and I continue to leave it in front of the dehumidifier.
