MacBook not turning on after walking in rain.
Hello.
After class I walked in pouring rain for approx 40 seconds just to my bag. I then put my laptop in my bag and went home. I put my bag at home, then went to work for 3 hours. When I returned home and tried booting my laptop it did not turn on. I’m unsure if this is a consequence of the rain or something else.
When plugged in the MagSafe charger the LED is Amber, as if the laptop is charging, however if I hold down Control, Option, right Shift and power for 10 seconds then release (SMC reset I believe) The MagSafe LED goes to Green quickly, then back to Amber, nothing occurs on the screen.
Tomorrow I will be able to take out the battery and have a look internally. Anyone got any suggestions until then?
Is this a good question?

Was the bag and or other contents wet inside? Did it have a flap to protect the items within it?

No other wet contents dan, bag shouldve protected everything, I was only in the rain for like 1-2 minutes max anyway,

@Christian Douglas - Then its just luck your battery gave up at the same time point. Get a new battery and make sure you have a REAL Apple charger not a cheap knockoff.
