spilt beer on my MacBook

[SCHISCHKA]

i spilt beer on my MacBook air. she took it pretty well and still works but it now stinks and as a sticky keyboard. I think the screw driver i need to by is a pentalobe but i can't find one that will ship to NZ. Also what is a good solution to clean it with? Isopropyl is hard to find ever since the authorities learnt that it is used in drug making

I'm pretty sure iFixIt will have the correct bit.

 

I did the same thing with my MBP a few years ago. Smelled like yuengling every time it got over 60*C but everything worked fine.

Why do you need to ship a screwdriver? Do you live in a cave? Just go to local hardware store and buy it

theres no way I'm using brake cleaner. He says to clean it off with alcohol; why not just skip the brake cleaner and use alcohol

I took my iPhone 5s to Apple Store for trade up. They saw that my phone has some water inside so refused to do so.

Took it to BestBuy for tradeup. They said I will get 80 bucks for that.

 

Now I don't know what I'm gonna do with it

Do not just buy 1 size. Better off to get a repair kit so it has multiple sizes and other types of bits and tools.That one is to just remove the bottom cover. keyboard is on the top, I can't remember if the entire assembly has to be removed or you can just pop off the entire top cover.

Keyboard and trackpad is a single piece.
