It's a MacBook Pro 13" 2011, and it has liquid damage. A glass of water dropped on the table and the water reached the laptop, water didn't fall directly on top of the laptop.
I took it to the Apple store, and the technician took it to the back and studied it for 5 mins then came back and said the following parts need to be replaced:
Logic Board
Top Case
Display
The total ends up around $870, and after tax it's $1000!! (15% tax in Montreal.)
I took it to a local repair shop specialized in macs, and they couldn't fix it. They said the parts are beyond repair.
What should I do? It would be ridiculous to pay $1k to fix this laptop. Any suggestions?
p.s: I know about AppleCare+, and yes it would've been nice to have it, but this is not my laptop (my parents') and I wasn't around when they bought it to suggest AC+
