so 2 days before I take the MCAT, a white wine butter pasta sauce dripped out of a to go bag onto my 2012 MBP retina on the bottom corner of my keyboard and on the trackpad. I immediately flipped it upside down wiped it, pressed the keys down firmly to release more liquid, and turned it off because shortly after the mouse started to go crazy and apps were opening/mousepad was not working. I frantically went to apple and was told the dreaded news i expected: your only option here is pay $1240 for the whole unibody internal fix. I know that sending it to a private company is an option as well but those are usually ~$600 and don't provided warranty; also, I rely on my comp heavily for school I need a quick fix ASAP. So it seems the most practical options are send it off with apple and suffer the $1300 for work on a two year old computer or just buy a new one. Its breaking my heart spending that much money bc currently, the laptop is working and I think what if it continues to do so- but an hour ago it was going haywire and I had to hold down 'command' just to use the external mouse i bought. Does anyone have any suggestions? Also, what about selling a technically "liquid damaged" MPB? Its still in great condition externally and honestly, (i don't know much about the internal works) but I think the important parts like the hard drive, memory, and logic board are fine- but I know if the liquid stays in there it may lead to corrosion with time so I need to make a decisions ASAP! PLEASE HELP if you have any knowledge regarding this!
