I forgot to add, all 9 water sensors were tripped. They quoted me a 900 dollar repair bill, 700 for the logic board and 200 in labor.... I brought it back to show my apple service provider and he was still trying to figure out how I got it in working order.
Yup, I just held the power button and prayed that I shut if off in time. But it fried a few things. I had apple replace the display since the water sensor in that wasn't tripped. The keyboard didn't work, track pad didn't work, or display. With a external monitor, keyboard, and mouse it would run very sluggish and was a nightmare, it was hit or miss if it would pick up the external monitor or boot up into osx.
I think alot of cases, they just say the logic board is fried. To be honest, with a liquid spill on these macbooks, it looks like yes, some friege? does occur, but you have to put in hours to scrape it and clean it to get it back into working condition. I think the only thing that might truly happen is cpu may fry, but thats a cheap fix. I would say 99% of mose people wouldn't take it apart to the level I did and take the time to clean each piece. From the picture, you can actually see the corrosion on the board.
