Mac fell in the pool

uhh.... yeah it probably is dead.
Get you a huge bag of rice and put it inside for like a week or two, don't mess with it and then take it out and try it. You may want to remove the battery first and probably get a new battery altogether.
But really, it's probably dead.

If the logic board or the CPU (or any other component) made a short circuit somewhere, then yes. If it refuses to turn on, that was the case.
However, it may well be because of the high humidity. Let it dry and retry in a few days. If nothing happens, dead.

Hey Bro! (high five) . You should totally take your macbook out on the floaty. Yeah like totally!
well if it wasn't on when it fell in the pool and you got it fullly dried before you boot it, then you can have some hope.
Even if it's dry, there's still going to be all kinds of residue left over from the pool water. And the fact that you attempted to turn it on without taking care of the residue first (or even letting the internals dry completely for that matter) means you're almost definitely SOL.
I think he's saying because his mac is probably gone he won't be posting again.
Plus, you'll have lots of mac-flavored rice. Mmmhh, nice...
Seriously, don't waste your rice: your mac is toast.
