I wouldn't despair just yet, unless some circuits were bridged and completely fried you may be able to salvage this one. I've saved many a family members laptop that has had coke, beer, and just about anything else you can think of dumped on it. <br />FYI this is a fair amount of tech type work so it may not be worth it to you but if nothing else find a gadget/tech happy friend and see if they'll take it on for a project.<br /><br />Take the computer completely apart, once it is fully disassembled check to see if there are any burnt spots on the motherboard or anywhere. <br />Take the ram out, the processor off, the hard drive, etc basically anything that detaches (you can find pictures of these components on google images).<br />Get a tray or bucket and put a good two inches of 95%+ denatured alcohol (grab at the HW store, usually denatured with methanol). Put all of the components except for the hard drive in the bath and let it sit for a little while. You'll need to get a soft cloth like a t-shirt and wipe any areas that look like they have some beer residue on them. After you done this take it out and give it a little bath with some more alcohol and let it dry for a few days.<br />Reassemble and it may just work.<br /><br />Also on the hard drive front don't let the mac geniuses or other repair shops gouge you, unless the hard drive was compromised (which is hard to do) it's as simple as taking it out, plugging it into a external drive case (you can buy one for $15 or less usually) and copying the files over. I would strongly advocate doing this yourself.<br /><br />If nothing else piece out the macbook on ebay since you'll get a good 3 - 5 hundred dollars for a working LCD screen. Even more if you can show that the processor didn't get wet.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01949335288025393915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30743480.post-10944813596870373152009-08-10T10:39:53.155+01:002009-08-10T10:39:53.155+01:00Ouch.
