[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1514318, member: 56379"] You probably have heard of the example of dropping a running hair dryer into a bathtub full of water. Not very good for the hair dryer or someone if they should be in the tub!;) Kind of the same thing spilling liquid on a laptop computer. Liquid + laptop = dead laptop. I'm talking possibily short circuits, sparks, smoke, etc. Test all you want...and "reflow" all you want...just to satisfy your curiosities.:) But I think that at the end of the day...chances are you will still have a dead laptop!:( Two realistic options: - Buy a used replacement logic board (if the cost makes sense)...which it usually doesn't. - Use the money that would be used to purchase a replacement logic board (plus probably additional cash)...and get a replacement used MacBook Pro just like what you have, get a new computer from Apple, or get a refurbished computer from Apple. Good Luck,:) - Nick [/QUOTE]
