Sorry for double posting but I got no reply in the spillage thread. (Mods I hope this ok?)
I just got word from an apple authorised repairman that my logic board is fried from liquid damage! MAJOR BUMMER . The spillage happened almost 2 years ago and I thought I got all the coffee dried out.
I spilled about 3 ounces of the white coffee on the top left corner of the key board. I dried all surface damage straight away and left to dry the inside for a few days.
Everything worked great except for a small stain in the lower corner of my screen. A fortnight ago I got a dreaded black screen on start up.
I gave it to mac repair man and he just quoted me €1700 to replace the logic board, topcase, track pad and key board.
Obviously there is no point getting him to do repairs when I could buy a new machine for €1300.(but I'm broke)
My question is this - Should I attempt to replace the logic board myself (I have experience in PC land at this type of thing) and why if the trackpad and keyboard worked fine before I dropped into the shop could they still work?
Thanks for reading and for your own sake get a seperate table for coffee in the office.
