[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1466344, member: 56379"] Thank you very much for correcting that!:) As far as your liquid spill problem. It's hard to say exactly if anything under the keyboard got wet. It really depends on how much liquid was spilt. I know you said that only a small amount of Coke got on the keyboard…but honestly…in these "freak-out" type situations…it's sort of hard to quickly estimate how much liquid got on/in the computer. Beneath the keyboard is the logic board…and this is something you DEFINITELY do not want getting wet! The only 100% way of being sure no liquid got on the logic board…would be to disassemble the computer and check (since Coke is very easy to spot). If there truly was not much Coke spilt on the laptop…most likely the worst damage is going to be some sticking keyboard keys. But if more than Coke was spilt than mentioned above…then the logic board may have been effected. It's really hard to say. The less liquid spilt on the computer the better. - Nick [/QUOTE]
