[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1750912, member: 56379"] It depends on exactly what is found...and sometimes it depends on who you speak with (I believe the Apple technicians have some fuzzy-area when it comes to repairs). If the liquid spill sensors changed color...and there is no visible corrosion...usually you're looking at an expensive repair. Much more is taken into consideration than corrosion. Some liquids can be worse than others. For example...if orange soda was spilled on the computer: - The acidic nature over time can cause issues. - As the soda evaporates...it becomes a sticky goo. - There's the orange color. - There's the odor of the orange flavor...especially noticable as the computer warm's up. And then there's coffee, beer, wine, milk, etc. Different liquids can cause more or less issues. But the common issue is the computer shorting out when the liquid comes into contact with a powered on electrical device. - Nick [/QUOTE]
