[QUOTE="TattooedMac, post: 1653453, member: 101749"] 1st Liquid + Electricity = dead There is no way to tell exactly what the issue is, but as you have seen, and in many cases, liquid damage can show its ugly head 2/10/12/24 months down the track, and the only real fix it to replace the logic board, as this is the biggest part of the Notebook that takes most of the damage. A new Logic Board will set you back minimum $700USD and then some. The only true way to get a take on what is wrong is to take it into Apple and get them to do a Diagnostic on the machine and give you a definite answer. With water, you can dry it straight away and think you got the problem fixed, but water/liquid can slowly cause corrosion, and it will come up as a white powder looking stuff, and once it is there, and its started the corrosive process there is no way to stop it. Im sorry, but the machine WILL stop working completely sooner rather than later. Have a look at this sticky for a little more info [URL="http://www.mac-forums.com/forums/apple-notebooks/271875-official-i-spilled-liquid-my-macbook-what-do-i-do-now-thread.html"]http://www.mac-forums.com/forums/apple-notebooks/271875-official-i-spilled-liquid-my-macbook-what-do-i-do-now-thread.html[/URL] [/QUOTE]

How many occurrences of a n-u-m-b-e-r between "d" and "f" in this example...(sdgs6ngklu3gd#f9%)?
