[QUOTE="Soham, post: 1751713, member: 390179"] Definitely, i believe Apple's pretty honest when it comes to replacing components you messed up yourself. Yep, but just to be clear: when i asked the Genius about my trackpad having a teeny tiny mark (that had nothing to do with the spill: it was there since the day i bought the MBP, and Apple probably would've replaced it for free, no questions asked, before my STUPID spill)... He said if i should have it changed now, Apple would still replace the trackpad for free (as a manufacturing defect), but would also replace (and have me pay for) my logic board and any other liquid-damaged parts inside the MBP - whether i liked it or not, and even though they still worked. So what i mean to say is: [B]after a liquid spill, the Apple warranty is fair enough so that it isn't void when it comes to "non-liquid-damaged" components: if your laptop has a manufacturing defect, that part will be replaced for free... But Apple will still MAKE you change (and pay for) any other parts that were messed up by your spill, even if they still work[/B]. Thanks! IKR? If Apple geniuses wore suits, i probably would've HAD to ask this one for his #, LOL. Whatever... It's been 2 weeks now since i turned my MacBook Pro back on after spilling (coke zero) cuba libre all over its screen and half its keyboard, and in spite of a little corrosion, it's still working just fine. Will let you know if anything bad happens, otherwise (hopefully) i will not be posting on this thread by next year, in order to give you the good news (yeah, i'm usually a lucky b***, so i'm hoping it'll still work by then, as my PowerBook G4 did for 5 years after a water spill). Anyway, once again, don't get your hopes up, but don't give up hope either... Good luck to you all! [/QUOTE]
