[QUOTE="Uporabniq, post: 1628291, member: 339876"] [b]Macbook pro "boots" directly in to sleep mode[/b] Hi! My situation is that that my Macbook pro (late 2011 / QC 2.4 / Hi Res-Matt / SSD) was spilled over with about 150 ml of beer on the right side of the keyboard. Immediately shut down, then unplugged the battery, took out disk and let it all dry upside down and opened for 48 hrs. Then assembled it back together, all was actually looking dry from the beginning, but...after 14 days of working perfectly, problems arose: At first grey flickering horizontal lines appeared upon trying to turn it on and seemed it couldn't boot up or just graphics-display didn't work. After many attempts, it has booted up, but whenever it went back to sleep or if I closed the lid to make it so, it didn't wake up later anymore. At last, when I tried to boot up the switched off computer, I just saw a black screen.

Working great for days now, but I can't switch it off, I guess I'm in big trouble then again. What I have done so far problem solving: tried PRAM, SMC reset; Apple hardware check didnt's show any errors; tried to remove ram and putting back in... ...I kinda tend to believe in general computer should be good, seeing it working perfectly also under great CPU stress (running audio plugins i.e.), but I can't define what could be wrong so it's switching on into "sleep" mode without a chime and without anything on its screen.
