[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1750371, member: 56379"] First of all congrats that your MacBook Pro is still working after a liquid spill.:) Second. An issue (related to the liquid spill) if it should happen while you're using the computer...could happen in milliseconds. Much much faster than any human could ever react. Being ready to turn it off any minute (if something should happen) most likely would not be quick enough. Third. When you go to the Apple Store...be prepared for the technicians to discover that the liquid spill sensors inside the computer have been triggered (turn different color). They will tell you this...also tell you that any liquid damage is not covered under Applecare...and very possible they will tell you that you may need a new logic board. Which for a 2 month old MacBook Pro (depending if it's a 13" or 15" model)...could cost $800 or more. Good luck at the Apple Store...and please let us know how things go. Hopefully things will turn out better than I described.:) - Nick p.s. Welcome to Mac-Forums.:) [/QUOTE]
