2020 Macbook Pro M1 13” Keyboard repair.

...if water was spilt on the keys?

Many liquid spills never resolve. Like Frodo getting stabbed with a Morgul blade, the computer never fully heals.

My concern is that the water likely penetrated farther than the keyboard. Liquid damage is progressive, and some damage cannot be reached for remediation even by the best professionals.

You can spend a bucket of money to fix today's glitch de jour and still have something else fail weeks or months later.

I believe in keeping old Macs in service as long as possible but I am doubtful about ever successfully fixing problems caused by a liquid spill. I like Grant's suggestion to continue using the computer with an external keyboard until it succumbs to its wound or no longer does what you need.

You can connect any USB keyboard to test, and even to work.

All the alphabetic and numeric keys will work, and almost all the function keys, with minor transpositions.

That will give you a much better idea of whether everything except the keyboard is still working.

Start here. Perhaps you can get an estimate here. Though water damage may be treated as a special case.

How much would it cost me to repair a 2020 Macbook Pro M1 13” if water was spilt on the keys? The screen is perfectly fine but I cannot log in as some keys don’t work and others use the function of other keys.

FWIW, I would not spend any money repairing a 6 year old computer. Use an external keyboard to migrate your data to a new computer.
