#How to clean a macbook pro screen spit and watwe update#
I will update tomorrow or later on tonight or whenever it ALL goes away. Though the SMC FAN CONTROL application states that my fan is at 5936rpm and that the temp on my macbook pro is at 118F but started at 159F everything seems to be really cool/normal temp. I do have a few applications running like Spotify and Netflix, a few tabs open like YouTube, Facebook, Twitter & GMail and also the Sparrow application open as well. (i also tried the terminal commands & got no results) Within 2 hours the spots went down about 10-15 percent. So i read the first post where “Morren” stated that he used an application called “SMC FAN CONTROL”. I tried the Python application but just like other people on here who stated they couldn’t get it working i didn’t really want to mess with that application too much because of the knowledge i don’t have about it. so i came across on this post so i gave it a try.

since i NEED my laptop everyday for work, that wasn’t an option. but the ONLY downfall with that is that people were saying it can take from 3-10 days of non-usage of the laptop. i went through ALOT of forums by the way. Well i read lot of post online suggesting me to do the “Rice in the bag” trick, it seem to work for everyone on the other forums. Well the thing is that after i did that my screen had this bright spot on the left lower corner and the rest of my screen looks as if i turned down the brightness by 1 or 2 levels. I bought this stupid screen protector on Amazon made by SGP or something like that…Well it’s a “wet apply” meaning you have to spray the screen and then put on the screen protector…(never again am i doing this) I can’t speak for everyone but I can tell you what works for me and what didn’t. You wouldn’t be able to tell the difference if you tried. I’ve no reason to think it won’t disappear by the end of the day.Ģ4 hours later: screen is as good as new. All that is left is a little pea-sized dot for the right splotch. Well, it has been about 15 hours total now of drying, some with the program on, most with it off and the splotches are almost all gone. There seems to be no permanent damage to the screen. But it beats paying $750 for a replacement. It will probably take 4-5 hours total to complete the evaporation. I’ve been running it for about 3 hours now and the splotches are almost cleared up. I put some pillows behind the screen to increase the heat.

It got my CPU A up to a consistent ~80c with the fans obviously kicking on high. The following Python program did the job. I freak out and take my MB to an Apple technician and he tells me it will be $750 to replace the screen but that I can probably just evaporate the water myself by running an intensive process that heats up my MB. So my girlfriend’s daughter accidently spills water all over my Macbook screen leaving huge bright white splotches in the lower right and left corners of my screen.
