[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1522733, member: 56379"] Liquid spills (soy sauce in this case)...can sometimes effect many parts...but generally (as you've done) replacing the logic board is usually the #1 part that goes bad. If the spill was large (large volume)...then more parts can be effected. Ram is usually a big problem area as well. Maybe the ram was effected by the spill...or maybe something was up with the ram before the spill (bad ram or wrong ram). At this point you could try reseating the ram...and/or...testing the computer with just one stick of ram in at a time (assuming the computer has 2 sticks of ram in it currently). The other question is...how do you know 100% that the logic board has no problems. I'm a big fan of taking advantage of great deals via e-Bay...but just because a seller says that the logic board is working 100%...doesn't always mean is is 100% good. The seller could be "fibbing"...or may not even realize something was wrong with it. The one positive test that a logic board had no issues...is to have no issues!;) Since you're having issues...that logic board could be bad...or there could be something else wrong with the computer post soy sauce spill.
