A month or two ago my friend bought a brand new MacBook, 2.0 GHz white, 13.3", etc. She was watching a movie and spilt water all over it. It turned off and didn't turn back on again, etc etc we all know how computers and water mix. We're at college now and she needed a new one right away, so she bought one and gave me her old one to play with. I took it apart and cleaned off contacts, fiddled, let it dry, etc. I got it to the point where, running on battery power, it works perfectly except for: the keyboard and mouse don't work (I plugged in externals), when I tell it to "Shut Down," it restarts. Same when I push the power button, or hold it for 4+ seconds. It "Sleeps" correctly. Now, the battery was running low so I plugged in the charger. It was green for a second, then turned orange and started whistling and drained the battery completely. It no longer boots. RIP my free MacBook.
I thought the whistling was due to a short b/w the speakers and the charging mechanism? Now it doesn't respond to the charger and the battery is completely drained so it can't boot anymore. Any ideas? External charger? Anyone want to buy it? Have experience fixing stuff like this? Want to drop it off a building? Thanks.
