[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1290081, member: 56379"] Well...good luck with that!:( I think that you're going to end up paying a LOT MORE for this repair than you think if you cannot do the work yourself. It would only cost you about $10-$20 to purchase the screwdriver set you need...then follow the iFixit.com instructions. I understand if you feel that you cannot do it. But a standard disassembly, inspection, drying it out, and reassembly may cost you $100-$200 bucks...AND the computer may not even work!!!:( If it doesn't work (which happens MANY times with liquid spills)...a new logic board & labor will cost you in the neighborhood of $700 bucks (maybe more if it needs more parts). If you read the Mac-Forums "Spill Thread" then you should be vaguely aware of this. Since this is a 2011 model MacBook Pro...even this cost may still be worth getting it repaired (if it needs new parts)...but if it was an older computer...the repair costs could have exceeded the value of the computer (or been close). Liquid spill stories (in many cases) do not have a happy ending!:( Just being honest. Prepare for the worst, hope for the best!:) - Nick [/QUOTE]
