I took it to Apple and they opened it up right in front of me. They ran some tests on the battery and determined that wasn't it. They further inspected it and think it needs a new logic board or something. They weren't suspicious of anything at all, even after opening everything up in front me. They're working on fixing it right now and they are backing up my information for free. Maybe its cleaner on the inside than i believed it to be.
Got a tip for us?

Or really poor, or between jobs, or smothered by alimony payments to three wives like Krusty the Clown? I agree with the sentiment of taking responsibility, but too often s--- ain't like that.
If he's 7, then he is a minor and his parents are fiscally responsible. If he's really poor, between jobs or smothered by alimony payments, then you take him to court and sue him. The court will seize enough assets to pay for the repair or replacement and sell them, and give you the money.
There are ways to see justice happen.
However, mercy is also necessary for life and if you can get it fixed without paying much, and can just say "screw it, stuff happens" then that is obviously the better solution.
He's 18, but broke as ****, as well as my family.
He'll pay for any repairs that don't get covered.
But i'm not going to attack him about it the same way that I would if it were someone outside of my family. It will get taken care of. So far, Apple has been incredibly helpful and haven't found any reason to void my AppleCare warranty.

So which is it, this:

I agree 100% with the second part, but I don't see how the two responses can come out of the same keyboard

.But, does your lappy reek of vomit when the fans start buzzing?
Ugh, I have such a weak stomach, if I knew I was typing pukey keys and there was tiny particles of puke floating around inside my computer, I'd sell it.

Congrats to the OP on seeing his laptop through this vomitous event. I think it's cool that you have a laptop that got puked on, especially if you can't even tell and people will have a hard time believing you. True stories that no one believes are the best kind.
Do you have to be graphical about it? Damn, Now I cannot finish my dinner
That's what you get for reading macrumors while eating dinner

Jeez....and i thought my dad had it bad when the cat decided his laptop keyboard would make a perfect "prewarmed" litter box.....only number one thank goodness.
Best part is...my dad didn't it had even occurred till a few weeks later when a strange smell started to arise.
Eventually his ram was frizzled and subsequently he called IT.
Word of advice, which my father now tells everyone, always close your laptop when not in use. The case could be your saving grace!
