[QUOTE="davenmaclean24, post: 1695868, member: 367741"] Ok heres my situation. On January 7th, spilt a mouthful of a liquor cooler ontop of the keyboard of my Macbook Pro. I immediately flipped it over so it wouldn't go into the MOBO. Turned it off, took back casing off, and removed the battery which had a little bit of the liquor on it and the hard drive which had a tiny bit as well. Tested both, and they both are working no issues so I'm assuming is a good thing and that my situation is keyboard/power switch related not motherboard related. Now, what I need help with is locating the power pads for this model of macbook. I've narrowed down a few pictures but where they show the pads my board looks quite different. I can upload pictures in future posts if need be. Ive done the smc reset, which I should add as well when I do this the magsafe light goes from solid orange to green for a few seconds and back to orange. But without doing the option+control+shift+power, there is no change in the light just stays orange. Please help me find these pads, I've read online that the a1278 has little info on these. Also what ever more info you need I am willing to provide!! Thank you from a desperate man.. [/QUOTE]
