I have a macbook pro 15" 2.4ghz silver key model. I spilled a little water on the keyboard and now the keyboard is not responding. THE GOOD NEWS is that the mouse and click button still work. Does that rule out a logic board problem and can I just go aheah and swap out the keyboard ???

thx

You can give the "keyboard swap" a try, but in my experience, anytime water is spilled on the keyboard it seeps through to the main or logic board. Please refer to the sticky post at the head of this forum regarding spills before you do anything else.

Can I test the 2.4ghz water damaged macbook pro with the keyboard from a 2.2 ghz ?

(also, most of the keys on the water damaged keyboard work. keyboard does not light up thou. I guess there is no way to bring this keyboard back to life?)
