[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1172284, member: 46727"] Welcome to the Mac Forums. Problems because of spills are unpredictable. It's very possible that the keyboard was damaged or even worse, something shorted out on the logic board below. (mother board) If the machine was on when she spilled the water on it, that makes it more likely that something shorted out. I'm sorry that I can't be of more help to you - but we run into numerous posts regarding spills in these forums and most do not have a happy ending. Probably best to take it on in to an Apple store and have them give her an estimate of repairs. That estimate could well approach the cost of a new machine. :( [/QUOTE]
