[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1601164, member: 56379"] If this is a MacBook Pro that is just a little over a year old…and if the repairs are going to cost around $800…then depending on the model MacBook Pro you have…it would probably be less expensive to have it repaired then to purchase a new MacBook Pro. I do understand that you're concerned that something else going wrong with it. I believe that Apple has something like a 90 day guarantee on repairs. So hopefully…if anything additional was to happen (due to the spill)…it would show up in those 90 days of use. Your only other option is to buy a brand new computer…which will cost more than the $800 repair. - Nick p.s. Please stop drinking beverages around laptop computers!:) p.p.s. Depending on what model MacBook Pro you were to purchase new. It may be possible to take the money ($800) you would spend on repairs) + the money you may get selling the current computer for parts (on eBay)…and maybe that total will get you close to the money needed for the new computer.:) But be warned…liquid damaged computers may not be worth a lot (who knows on eBay).
