Hi Guys,

Not too long ago, I spilt liquid on my almost-year-old MacBook. A month later, every time I boot up OSX it goes into sleep mode from the login sceen (blinking light) and the power button will not turn it back on.

Ok, so I've gotten my water-damaged, white macbook to boot up in Ubuntu, as OSX just sleeps everytime it is loaded (after 5 - 10 seconds).

Because of the nature of the problem (sleeping when OSX is loaded) and the fact that Ubuntu boots with the ACPI disabled, I'm now assuming that there is a problem with either the power management, or the lid-shut sensor.

My question is, is there any way to disable these features in OSX just like I have in Ubuntu (which works).

If not, how can I access my HDD without OSX?

Thanks Alot!

The damage to your MacBook is probably more extensive then you think. Have you read the spilled liquid sticky at the head of this forum?

Regards.
