No. Water will kill a computer. Who knows what chemicals are in your remover? I'm sure it has some form of chemical that breaks down acrylic plastic. What do you suppose it did to the plastic membrane in your keyboard? It most likely ate right thru the screen printed circuit at least.Spilled nail polish remover on macbook pro! help!?
Did it get into the keys (and thus inside the computer)? IF so, it matters litle if it was water or acid... damage is done. I hope you have an APP!





Perhaps you could try taking the Macbook Pro apart and letting it really dry out, but this is risky and will void the warranty if you have one for sure.





BUMMER!!!
Hopefully the liquid should evaporate on its own and the problem may go away, but whatever damage is done, is done. I wouldn't recommend taking the laptop apart yourself unless you really know what you're doing. Find a nerd who knows how or take it in to apple and just pay to have it fixed. Its better than ruining the whole thing and having to purchase a whole new laptop.


P.S. Learn from this
My suggestion to you is to call apple and see what they say because yahoo answers is not the place to ask that kind of question, the longer you wait the more damage is done to the computer.
