Sell it on eBay. There are always ppl who think the can fix anything or maybe too poor to buy a working Mac and try their luck on a damaged.

There is a fairly long, but very informative thread here, on the MacBook pro forum, that gives some good info on cleaning up and repairing after water spills. Sometimes its just corrosion that can be fixed, and sometimes you'll need to replace components. The thread covers board level repairs, where Apple and most repair shops would insist that you need a new motherboard; you can save a lot of money—and having the schematic and board view will help—and you won't lose money selling it for parts.

Good luck, Yako.
