[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1526130, member: 56379"] Based on the many many many situations I have seen & heard of here on Mac-Forums...80-90% of laptops that have had liquid spilled on them will no longer operate properly (if at all) without expensive replacement parts. In many cases the expensive part that needs to be replaced is the logic board. And due to the cost of a replacement logic board...in many cases...this means getting a new computer. I'm actually thinking that 80-90% is pretty liberal...it may actually be more like 95%. Sorry to be so negative...I'm simply being realistic. You can hope for the best...but also prepare for the worst. Two very very important things we always advise folks here on Mac-Forums are: 1. Always have a backup. 2. Never consume or place liquids near a laptop computer. Thus what I am saying is...if the computer does miracuously return to 100% normal operation...consider yourself very very very very very lucky!!!:) - Nick [/QUOTE]
