The genius at the Apple store found just a little corrosion on the upper part of the logic board, near the screen attachment - which makes sense, as most of the liquid was spilled on the screen - but luckily it hasn't touched the screen connectors. Since i'm part of the fortunate few whose computer still works fine after a liquid spill, he told me i didn't need to change it right away, which seemed weird to me at first. But i got confirmation from Apple Care afterwards that since the macbook works for now, i could push my luck to see how long it would work (as long as i make frequent backups, obviously), since on my model the corrosion could not spread to other components. They also said there's absolutely no way to tell how corrosion will spread. It may die next week, or it could last for years. Anyway, i am VERY glad i deliberately picked an older model because it had a 2,9 gHz processor and i absolutely wanted my laptop to have a dvd burner and to be able to change my memory chips or hard drive whenever i want, over a retina macbook with no superdrive and everything soldered to the logic board. It spared me from having to spend €500 today.FYI those in my situation, they also told me to keep my macbook away from humidity from now on, as it tends to make corrosion spread. Good luck to you all!</blockquote>
