[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1455237, member: 56379"] If this computer was involved in a liquid spill (and depending on how much liquid we are talking about)…chances are…something else other than the keyboard/topcase got exposed to the water/liquid. So if you replaced the topcase…there's a very good chance that the logic board was liquid damaged as well (unless you have strong evidence to prove otherwise). Thus the money spent on the topcase replacement would be wasted…since something else would need to be replaced as well (the logic board). And you don't want to be replacing the logic board…since they cost a lot more than a topcase…and definitely not worth it if this is an older MacBook that's currently worth $300-$400 bucks. - Nick [/QUOTE]
