How to Dry Out a Mac Book


Turn off the MacBook immediately after it gets wet and remove the power cord and any other cables attached to it.
Soak up any excess water on the computer as soon as possible with the paper towels.
Open the display and set it upside down on top of the paper towels. Roll a few paper towels into a ball and place them directly under the keyboard; this will help draw the water out of the computer.
Turn on the hair dryer and set the temperature to 'High' and the fan speed to 'Low.' Gently blow warm air to the underside of the MacBook to dry any residual liquid.
Leave the computer upside down overnight or for at least 24 hours to eliminate as much liquid as possible from the Macbook. Cross your fingers and turn on the Macbook after it has been left drying and hope you computer comes back to life.

How to Reattach Keys to a MacBook (3 Steps)


Remove the plastic connector from the back of the key that has fallen off. The reason keys come off of keyboards is because the connectors have somehow wiggled out of place, allowing the key to fall off. Use a small screwdriver to pry to connector off of the back of the key.
Attach the connector back on the keyboard. The side of the connector with the two small holes in the corners is the left side of the connector. This will give you some orientation on how to place the connector on the keyboard. Place the connector on the keyboard so the small holes are on the left side. You will notice that these small holes line up with two metal tabs on the keyboard. Use the screwdriver push connector until the holes connect with the metal tabs.
Place the key back on the keyboard. Gently apply pressure from right to left until the key is back on the keyboard and snaps it into place. You should hear and feel the key connecting back to the keyboard. Type with the key to make sure it works properly and is fully attached.

How to Replace Missing Keys on a Mac Laptop Keyboard


Note the model of your laptop to get the appropriate keys. Powerbooks, for example, have a variety of models, including the Wallstreet, Lombard and Pismo, the older black models. When the Powerbook changed to a silver color, the models included the Titanium---which has a black keyboard---and Aluminum.
Find a website that sells individual keys (see Resources) or eBay and order the appropriate keys.
Remove bad keys if they still are attached to the keyboard. All the keys are snapped into place, so just pull a key up to remove it. It will unsnap from what Apple calls the scissor or plunger. If the scissor is intact, but the key is missing, a new key will snap on over the scissor by pushing it down until it clicks.
Make sure your support scissors are still intact, as you will need them to place your key. Most individual keys come with the scissor part, so you can replace it at the same time as the key. Push each side of the scissor under the metal hook, one at a time. The scissor halves will then extend upward on either side. Whether you are replacing an old key or placing a new one, the scissors must be hooked into the old supports already found in the keyboard base. Use tweezers to steady the support scissor and connect it to the already-in-place scissor on the Mac keyboard.
Push the key down gently but firmly until it snaps into place.
