[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1531228, member: 46727"] If you read through this entire thread, you'll quickly come to the conclusion that your thinking may be right. Coke is especially damaging because of the sugary liquid and corrosive nature of the solution. It's best to take your machine apart and clean it up internally. The take apart instructions at [url=http://www.ifixit.com]iFixit: The free repair manual[/url] are comprehensive and easy to follow. If you do take your machine to Apple, I do not know for sure if they'll charge you for taking it apart and diagnosing any problems. However, I do know as soon as they see the liquid detectors have been activated, they will stop diagnosing it and tell you that you need a new logic board. (Very expensive repair.) Try cleaning it up yourself would be my advice. It's not as difficult as you may think. Good luck with it and let us know how it goes. [/QUOTE]
