[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1078821, member: 56379"] You have to realize that [i]"The Official "I spilled liquid in my MacBook - what should I do now?"[/i] thread was started when all of the laptops Apple sold at the time had the older style "removable battery". Part of the rational of removing the battery (after a spill)...is to remove any source of electrical power as soon as possible. With the non-removable batteries now used in Apple laptops...the procedure of removing the battery is more involved...thus more harm than good might result if a user tried to remove the "non-removable" battery...since liquid might get into additional areas of the laptop while trying to remove the non-removable battery. It's very possible (with the inclusion of non-removable batteries in Apple laptops) that a slight modification to the steps identified in "The Official "I spilled liquid in my MacBook - what should I do now?" thread may be needed. Regarding how to remove the "non-removable" battery...and the appropriate cautions. Apples official position regarding non-removable laptop batteries is (read the "note"): [url=http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3053]MacBook Pro: How to remove or install the battery[/url] Of course the FIRST step in avoiding this situation altogether...is to keep all laptops away from liquids!!!;) I hope this helps, - Nick [/QUOTE]
