Well I think I am one of the first to do major damage to their Macbook, and screw it up. Here is the sorta brief story;
I spilled coffee on it. The whole large coffee. Well I flipped it, and pulled the battery immediately while it was still running. Drained it, and cracked it open to clean with alcohol. This worked well, until I spudged the connector for the fan right off the logic board.
Apple basically asked for my credit card and first born. One tech had pity on me and knew a guy who could solder it back on. This shop could not get a connector for a reasonable price or in bundles smaller than 500 so they soldered the wires directly onto the logic board. Total cost was $40 and its running fine.
Now my problem. The keyboard/trackpad still sticks and is so annoying to use. The 'm' key would not work till last week. The 'l' has issues, the space sticks and the treckpad buttondoes too. I need to clean it but really really really do not wanna pull it apart again. Can I pull the keys off with a paper clip? Any advice would be appreciated.
