My brand new 15" uMBP.
Given, I was intoxicated (not pleased with myself) and I knocked over a half drank bottle of beer onto the right side of the computer. It wasn't a lot but the majority of the fluid sat on the right speaker; a little got on the keys. I immediately wiped it up, held it upside down and then shut down the computer.
Nothing really dripped out when I held it upside down so I don't think that much made it in. It definitely managed to seep through some of the tiny speaker holes and probably right onto the Superdrive.
I know this wasn't very smart but this morning I just had to turn it on and see if a lot of damage had been done. Everything seemed to be working fine - booted up normally, no real weird noises or anything. I tried to eject the disc I had inside but it didn't work. I could hear the drive trying to eject but it just wasn't coming out. I fear that enough beer made it through the speaker to get stuck up in the Superdrive. The speaker worked fine.
I have an appointment at Apple on Tuesday for them to fix it. I know this is probably going to void my warranty and be fairly expensive but it was my own, stupid mistake and I need to get my computer up and running again ASAP.
Has anyone had a similar experience with a uMBP? How much does it cost to replace the Superdrive? What else is on the right side of the computer that could have been adversely affected? I also fear some liquid may have made it's way into the computer through the vent at the base of the screen (there is a vent there, no?).
Any and all input is much appreciated!
