[QUOTE="applefan124, post: 1582421, member: 325461"] Thanks guys for sharing your stories on success in cleaning. I also noticed those silicone keyboard covers which I won't need personally, but for the person that owned this computer previously. I actually take really good care of my laptops, and other devices. But anyways, here is the update. I shopped around for repair services that were dedicated to Apple computers. There is a certified Apple store near me, and I just took it there recently to get them to clean it out and diagnose it for $166. So if they fix it without parts, then I can sell it for $700-$800 (if I put some software on there with extra RAM). Or, if it costs money to fix it (like a replacement logic board), I would have to think about it for a bit, but the main thing is, if I really wanted to I could just sell it on eBay for parts to just pretty much get my money back. But I am pretty sure the lemonade basically affected the part of the logic board that the screen wires are connected to. But either it's a part that has to be replaced, or it may be the whole logic board, I am just awaiting a verdict from the Apple certified store repair dude. Kudos to all of you who did the work yourselves. I just thought I would get the work done professionally. Anyone else want to share your story, it would be great to hear. P.S., thanks chinajon for adding your 2 cents, I just posted this just after you posted your reply. But I have already taken it in to get it done professionally. I'll update you guys on what they find. [/QUOTE]
