Ok guys I have a question for you. First off, it's not my MB, it's my roommates, but I'm here to ask your help for him.
Awhile back (about 2-3 months ago) I placed his mac on a towel on a chair in his room. The towel wasn't wet when I placed it there that night, but in the morning, woke up and the towel was soaking wet (Had a party). His girlfriend immediately took out the battery and placed both near the heater for several hours, which we then moved to the mac to a vent downstairs and propped it open for several days before turning it on and connecting the battery again. Hoping the warm air would dry out the inside. About a week after drying it out, we tried to turn it on. The light on the power cord was green but really dim, and often flashed yellow and green, very very dim. Took it to an apple store and asked for assistance. They used one of their power cords to try it out, got a solid bright green light saying it was charged, and obviously it wasn't having been unplugged for a week or so. Mac wouldn't power up at all. Tried pressing the battery button on the side and all the lights on the indicator would flash.
Well 2-3 months after this all happened, I took the battery cover off, took out the hard drive and battery, then took out the 8 screws covering the bottom half of the laptop. This is what I found:
(Sorry for the large pictures, but it help to show detail)
Not sure where to go from here, or if the computer is just completely totaled. Looking for some direction on how to clean it, check any kind of sensor, or just to get it up and running again. I read the sticky on spilled liquid, but don't know what to do here. I know I shouldn't send it in for him, since apple care doesn't cover spilled liquid and they're most likely going to send it back to us saying it's fried.
Can anyone help out here? I'm somewhat new to macs, but we have another roommate who has a MBP who knows his way around macs pretty well and even he doesn't know what to do... Thanks for the help in advance guys.
