        @nerthos Anyway, if it gives me time, I spilled wine a couple weeks back and did my best to dry it out. It was working OK, especially because I use an external keyboard anyway, but it's been hanging up on multitasks so I was thinking maybe a fan was gummed up. Got some solvents and spray air duster, gave it a shot; think I temporarily shorted up the power switch so it was confused but maybe (hopefully) it dried out and will be all fine onward.

          @scribus You need to open it, disassemble it, and clean it with isopropyl or distilled water.

            @nerthos And I super don't want to take apart a MacBook, lol, I will never get it back together again. I totally know you're right, but a 10+year old laptop with no-doubt irritating construction just felt more like a spray isopropyl situation in the moment
