[QUOTE="Soham, post: 1750930, member: 390179"] Agreed! But i thought the warranty was void on every component no matter what, even if the problem has nothing to do with the spill, so it still came as a good surprise. And yes, it probably helped that the genius was a guy and i'm a woman, and since my MBP still works fine i was smiling about it the whole time. The genius (who was hot as ****, btw) talking to the client on the next seat even laughed with us when i was asked what liquid i spilled and i answered "coke... well, actually, cuba libre", saying i had good taste and it was his favorite drink. When the genius in charge of my computer came back after opening it, i gave him a hopeful look, and i could see he was sorry for me even before he told me about the corrosion. But i believe what helped the most in not getting scammed in any way was the fact i was [B]honest, and didn't ask for any favor at all[/B]. I just told them how stupid i was and that i wished to have my computer checked in order to know how bad the damage was. Bottom line is, honesty pays, people, no one likes to be taken for a fool. Anyway, if anyone else from Paris, France reads this after spilling liquid on their Mac, just go to the Genius bar at the Louvre Apple store if you can, they're great (these days, anyhow). Peace.
