[QUOTE="IvanLasston, post: 1076788, member: 145676"] At best you are running on borrowed time and are lucky. Spilled liquid, as you read here is really bad for computers. Soda is corrosive. It may have been that there was still some liquid shorting something out when you took it in. That may have dried up and allowed you to boot. Even so there is no guarantee that you could keep booting. If you story was it always booted then I would have said it probably wasn't that bad of a spill. Because you said you couldn't get it to boot and the tech couldn't either that tells me the spill was pretty bad. Hook up your old macbook to your TV and use it as a media center until it dies - and don't turn it off ever again and try not to move it. Maybe it will last forever. [/QUOTE]
