[QUOTE="dying4004, post: 1722220, member: 215213"] guys i spilled some tea on my mbp retina 15 inches 2015 last week. i have dried it up as much as possible for an hour with paper towel and with hair dryer and left it for 96 hours or so. This morning found out that if I start the mbp and keep the lid closed then it goes to login screen but when I put in my username and password after 2 seconds it restarts again. When the laptop comes to boot screen it shows battery is fully charged and it comes to login screen and it shows the already setup custom boot wqllpaper. Which makes me assume that ssd is ok. But when I login it reboots straight away as all the components starts drawing power. So, it sound like logic board's power generation circuitry is fried and can't provide enough power to run all the components at the same time. tpday i went to apple store. they checked it and said that they can see sign of liquid inside. they dont see any corrosion yet though. but they would not recommend to repair it as they can not guarantee if it will work after a logic board repair. they did not even check if it will turn on or any investigation. they just took 5 minutes to open it and say it cant be repaired. i will go do an apple authorised repair tomorrow morning to see if they can repair it. but what i am afraid about is that if they have changed something and it starts working and what if more fualts appear later? is it possible for the technicians to identify what components did not have any liquid damage? cheers [/QUOTE]
