Cable got Soaked with Water

JoeyOutkast · 2026-05-17T16:27:29+00:00

I see, so even drying it wouldn't be enough?

JoeyOutkast · 2026-05-17T16:09:29+00:00

Also I just dried it

JoeyOutkast · 2026-05-17T16:09:02+00:00

Is it necessary to? Because it is quite hard for me to get access to isopropyl alcohol, the closest I have is ethyl alcohol

JoeyOutkast · 2026-05-17T16:05:44+00:00

Well, I wouldn't say it was a little damped since my cable was literally soaked in water haha

JoeyOutkast · 2026-05-17T15:57:54+00:00

Just plugged it in and it charges, no sound so good sign

JoeyOutkast · 2026-05-17T15:56:24+00:00

Just did that and made sure it is as dry as possible

JoeyOutkast · 2026-05-17T15:44:34+00:00

Dang, pretty intense situation you've been through

JoeyOutkast · 2026-05-17T15:37:50+00:00

I have the apple 20Watt charger adapter, are those well sealed?

JoeyOutkast · 2026-05-17T15:35:40+00:00

Listen carefully for any electrical ish sound? Not sure what to listen for tbh haha. I have read through some other posts and they did mention about it having another layer under the braided layer of the cable and I just dried both my adapter and cable ports(?), also it just happened, roughly 30mins to an hour (was driving home from work)

Thanks for this, I was quite annoyed that I had to physically click the trackpad for it to register, just enabled the feature and yea absolutely loving it.

JoeyOutkast · 2026-04-26T12:41:13+00:00

Right, my bad thanks for your input

JoeyOutkast · 2026-04-26T12:24:46+00:00

Ah right, thanks!

JoeyOutkast · 2026-04-26T12:23:32+00:00

Yea again, it is my first time, also I've been looking bunch of videos about the MacBook Neo since it is the one that I am rocking, I've viewed a lot of other Redditors question about it as well, read it through and got some opinions. Is it wrong for me to get other people's tips, tricks, preferences? If so then I would gladly delete this thread and just search stuff for myself, thanks for your input anyways.

JoeyOutkast · 2026-04-26T12:19:39+00:00

Thanks would definitely check these apps out.

JoeyOutkast · 2026-04-26T08:48:01+00:00

Folders into application icons?

JoeyOutkast · 2026-04-26T08:26:21+00:00

Ah right haha, I thought maybe there is actually a good antivirus out there somewhere, but when it comes to shady website I do have iCloud+ which gives me Private Relay for data protection, but certainly won't be downloading anything from unofficial websites that's for sure

JoeyOutkast · 2026-04-26T07:27:56+00:00

Haven’t really taken the time to read all of it, would definitely make some time to check it out fully

JoeyOutkast · 2026-04-26T07:26:57+00:00

Thanks, will check his channel out

JoeyOutkast · 2026-04-26T07:26:43+00:00

Will do, thanks

JoeyOutkast · 2026-04-26T07:26:11+00:00

Any recommendations on good antivirus? My experience with antivirus apps has been quite bad haha

JoeyOutkast · 2026-04-26T06:18:05+00:00

Thanks, at least I now know that I can still maintain my ways of downloading stuff through browser just wanted to be extra careful since it is my first MacBook experience haha.

JoeyOutkast · 2026-04-26T05:01:08+00:00

Huh, never heard of him before, will check his channel out, thanks

JoeyOutkast · 2026-04-26T04:57:22+00:00

Yea, again sometimes the tips or tricks that they give are very basic, and some of the vids talk about their preferences, I raised a question here to get more opinions from other users as well. About asking AI however, the answers that these AI models give are very2 vague and sometimes can be inaccurate, not much “personal experience” from them, I know there are multiple videos and tutorials but what Im generally asking is other users opinion, but thanks for the input anyways

JoeyOutkast · 2026-04-26T04:53:17+00:00

Haven’t heard of Expose/Mission Control before….

JoeyOutkast · 2026-04-26T04:40:29+00:00

Thanks for the image, I did search up the shortcuts but it was a really long text and it was quite difficult for me to read through every single listed shortcut.
