[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1789154, member: 396914"] Welcome to the forum. There is a lengthy thread on water spills here: [url]http://www.mac-forums.com/apple-notebooks/271875-official-spilled-liquid-macbook-thread.html[/url] Bottom line is that corrosion is not the real enemy as much as the voltage spikes and wandering charges all over the board where the water went that can (and do) fry various components. If the water was just water, you may be in better shape, as that should dry and not leave any residue. But if the water has dissolved minerals (hard water), or if it wan't just water, then the challenge gets slightly greater. Take a look at ifixit.com to see if their disassembly instructions have any images of the other side. [/QUOTE]
