So I spilt some beer on my MBP, it is pre unibody, Core 2 with 512MB VG.

Basically this beast is working fine, as I am typing with it right now. I plan to take it apart tomorrow and inspect the insides. All the keys are working, backlights are a bit compromised one problem that worries me though below.

When I turn it on. The computer boots, white apple logo, then goes to the blank blue screen, and instead of instantly going to the login screen where I enter my password. It takes about 5 minutes for this to come up. From there once I enter my password everything seems to work fine. Except for the wake and sleep functions, if I shut my lid I basically have to shut it off/turn on to get it back up and running.

Any advice would be nice, and what I should look for once taken apart. THANKS
