[QUOTE="qiwi, post: 1664442, member: 355869"] [b]worst luck.[/b] hi everyone! my first post on mac-forums here! i've had really bad luck with my macbook air (1.5 years old) lately. i had my first water damage exactly 2 weeks ago which i got fixed at a local repair shop (they fixed the logic board). this morning, i believe i got yet another water damage on my air. i had my air on the window sill with the A/C installed, and i was attempting to reposition the A/C by lifting it up, when water came out of the A/C and slightly went under my macbook air. freaking out, i immediately removed my air from the window sill and dried it off. i didn't think it seeped underneath the outside portions. i then lifted the cover (it was on sleep mode), and it worked fine! i was super relieved and was thankful... played some spotify and 20 minutes later, the screen went black and i think my air shut down. i tried to plug in the power cord to see if the indicator light would turn green, but no luck. i've had the macbook inverted ever since then... but what do you guys think? why would it turn on and then turn off? should i just leave it to dry for a few days and try turning on again? :'( worst luck ever.
