Well, I started the day off with a bang. I knocked over a big mug of coffee all over the kitchen table that held my MacBook. It died. I have it sitting in a sheet pan filled with rice. If that doesn't help, I guess I know where my stimulus check will go.

Oh NO! I hope you can recover it. Good luck.

That's upsetting, I'm sure. I've had a few close calls myself. With a laptop, Dot, and oftentimes a cell phone on the desk, I've learned to keep liquids far away.
Once a glass of water spilled and some ran under the Amazon Dot. I thought it was ruined. Alexa still responded but her voice had changed; after a day or two, she returned to normal.

Bummer!
I feel your pain, the same thing happened to me with my last laptop but it couldn't be saved.
It doesn't help that I put sugar and milk in my coffee....sniff!

That stinks! Fingers crossed it will turn on again.

Her voice changed?....that gave me a laugh!

@haddon9 Yes, it was garbled. It sounded like she was underwater - seriously!

Thank you all for all the sympathy. It turned on for about 10 minutes and then turned off again. I put it back under the rice and I'm going to wait overnight. Fingers crossed!

Don't get your hopes up. Liquids and electronics are a deadly combination. I wouldn't be surprised to find the motherboard has shorted out.
