[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1410326, member: 46727"] First, relax and stop worrying over it. I know it's easy for someone else to say that to you but in truth, there's nothing you can do now except to press on. I don't think any coffee entered the machine otherwise you would have seen the result right away. And since the spill was over the lid while closed, it's unlikely anything seeped through especially since you said the keyboard was dry. Here's a bit of advice: Buy a notebook stand and place your MBP on it while using it at home. A simple inexpensive stand can save a $2000 machine from instant destruction because of a spill. I'm just as guilty as anyone about eating and drinking coffee around my machines - and I should know better having been a computer tech and repairman for many years. O:) Anyway, I'm happy that your machine survived its coffee bath. Have fun and visit us anytime you have a question. [/QUOTE]
