[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1736527, member: 56379"] No way of telling what exactly is wrong with it without swapping known good parts for suspected bad parts. Suffice it to say that if you spilled a "fair amount" of iced tea on it...the liquid got everywhere (especally if you've been trying to get the liquid out of it by flipping it into all sorts of orientations). Apple portable computers have liquid exposure sensors in them...thus an Apple tech. will know right away that liquid was spilled on it. Of course this may be very easy to see by the naked eye if liquid is still present, corrosion is present, or discoloration/stains from the iced tea. Of course you can make it worse. What if you tried to turn it on...and nothing at all happened?? Zero, ziltch, nada. That's certainly worse. Sorry to hear about the spill. Going to be an expensive repair!!!! Good luck, - Nick [/QUOTE]
