Right so we let the MacBook Air dry out. For two or three days and when we plug it in look at this comes and I wanted to say that it had survived our final water tests but unfortunately. Look what happens when -- unplug it. And will not come on and lessons plugged in and I'm sorry to say that although this thing put up a true ninja battle. The MacBook Air has failed the water test.
