Hi all,
Tragic accident yesterday. Slipped up on a wet floor and smashed a bottle of wine in my bag which of course has my work machine in it ( protective sleeves are not 100% wine proof it seems)
Dried it overnight etc in vain hope, but already knew the screen had been affected by purple stain when I turned it off post accident.
Although I switched the machine off, I took it to the apple store this morning, but was told it would be weeks to send off and get an answer
So took it to a local repair shop, who just gave me the news. Toasted logic board. Didn't even turn on machine, so just assuming the retina is done for also.
They did disconnect the battery, to ensure no further damage. Hard drive is recoverable apparently.
Slightly bricking it, as expect my boss will make me pay for this, even though he was there at scene and knows it was an accident.
Just wondering what peoples experience of apple are in a case like this? Machine is just 6 months old, but of course know the warranty/ apple care is voided by spill.
Just trying to get a plan of action before facing the music on Monday. Should I go back to apple store for any reason??
Cheers,
Chris,
