[QUOTE="RadDave, post: 1839403, member: 234411"] Hello [B]Mileys....[/B] - see that you've been a member for just two months - welcome to the forum! :) Of course, if you look back at the pages of this LONG thread, similar experiences are likely present. My first question is since you cannot remember a time when you may have spilled liquid on the laptop, was the device ever loaned/used by another person not in your presence? If not, was the computer ever exposed to a locale w/ high humidity (see that you live in Canada from your profile, so likely not an issue) for a period of time? Below is Apple's take on 'liquid damage' (link given) - so not sure that you'll get any more advice except to pay an exorbitant cost; you might take the laptop to another authorized Apple dealer to see if the cost is less? Of course, the other option is to attempt a repair yourself (look up your model on the [URL="https://www.ifixit.com"]Ifixit Website[/URL]) - I suspect a tedious and difficult job and expensive parts would have to be bought. Hopefully, others with more experience will 'chime in' and offer comments, but you may be stuck w/ a repair; hope that you have Time Machine and/or cloned backups? Good luck - Dave [/QUOTE]
