[QUOTE="SurReality89, post: 1467812, member: 273460"] [b]MacBook core duo (1 or 2 idk) beer damage...[/b] ok so i am trying to see if i can fix my computer, beer got spilt on it and it sat in the beer for maybe 8-12 hours while i was sleeping. i turned it on not knowing it was sitting in beer and the screen turned on, i realize after the screen came up with the apple and it was taking forever to boot that the table was soak and a beer had been knocked over so i immediately turned it off and unplugged it and removed the battery. i tried turning it on several days later, same thing apple came up on the screen but stayed at the apple screen. i left it off for several weeks and then the screen wouldn't even come on. so now when i turn it on while its plugged in it seems to charge and when i unplug it shuts off when the charge is out. it makes a sounds when it shuts off too, so sound works. i have the keyboard off and can see the fan runs as well when the computer is on, its very quiet so i couldn't really tell until removed the keyboard and turned it on. any suggestions as what the problem might be considering sound works and the fan works, screen worked at first and then stopped? i wish i had similar computer so i could just switch out components until i found one that didn't work but i can't do that. also hard drive works, i salvaged all the data off it. plus it needs to be plugged in to turn on anyway. i'm not sure if its a 1 or 2 but i got it in 2008 straight from apple.com [/QUOTE]
