Hi,
I have had my 13" aluminium macbook pro for 7 months now, and around 2 weeks ago some beer got spilt on it. It was open, just for playing music, and a small amount of beer got in to the far right area of the keyboard and the vent by the hinge. It turned off and I dried it as much as i could, I left it for an hour or so and just tried it, it turned on after a couple of attempts. I then switched it off and left it for around 48 hours.
It turns on after 2 or 3 attempts every time, and it works absolutely fine except that it refuses to wake up from sleep mode, and it takes a couple of attempts to get it to boot. A lot of people seem to have issues with sleep mode, but none of them fixes have worked. I have tried reinstalling OSX even though it is clearly a hardware problem.. Could it be the logic board? I'm considering either opening it up myself and having a look (ive fixed a few laptops in the past) or taking it somewhere to see how much it would cost to be fixed.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Alex
