[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1750940, member: 56379"] Kind of hard to say. Most of the time when someone has a liquid spill...it's the logic board that needs to be replaced. But if other parts are non-functional...then the overall price of the repair will be that much higher. Basically what it comes down to is...all parts that are damaged by liquid get replaced...and the parts that are not damaged are not replaced. In a sense in this example...nothing is covered by the Applecare warranty...because the repair cost of all of the liquid damaged parts are paid by the customer. And all of the good parts are not replaced (not necessary). What the customer gets back is a 100% working unit. Now if something should fail (in a 2nd situation)...and is considered a manufacturing defect...then Applecare covers it. Sounds like you used the best approach when speaking with the Apple person/person's. Some folks go in "huffing & puffing"..."screaming & yelling"...and basically being diagreeable. This of course will not get a person anywhere at an Apple Store. Continued good luck with the computer!:) - Nick p.s. By the way. You must like guys in T-Shirts!;) Maybe if they look great in T-shirts...they look REALLY awesome when you dress them up!!!;);) [/QUOTE]
