Ok, I'll start again.
I went to the apple store and they told me there was little they could do. What they COULD do was do a damage report, which I would pay for, which I could use for my insurance to get a new. I'm a student, I don't have any insurance.
They said they "could clean it" but she said it like it was physically painful to utter and it wouldn't make any difference... (I mean, my girlfriend once vomited on her PC laptop and she got in repaired free... Mac is superior on all other aspects though)
Ok, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to be annoying, to insult or to act like a spoiled brat.
I'm on my knees here, I am admitting all blame and will gladly walk through fire, I will kiss your feet, wash your hair, _anything_ just please tell me what to do. What can I do?
(I mean, I could buy a new one on instalment...)
But anything else? Machine is still working fine, some keys still sticky, but no other signs. I know, I know, corroding and rust... I know it will happen...
Would opening it up and having a look do anything? Pick out the pieces of dried orange strings? Would it "do" anything? Perhaps it would give me a view of the extent of damage? (If visible)... Or will it just make things worse?
This is the 2011 model, I assume, meaning there is no visible battery, or battery door, just the plate itself which is fastened with four screws...
I've been meaning to open it up anyway, since I know a lot of dust etc has fallen into the fan-area... I once saw a video of a guy opening up this model to use an "air spray" to blow away the dust and crumbs from the fan.
Again, please, I really don't need any "you're an idiot" "you ********* up", "newb", "moron", "kill yourself" or "buy a pc" or "you beating a dead horse"... I'm sure it's tempting, but I beg you.
Be gentle.
