Although you didn't say in your post, I'm assuming you recommend telling them that the computer is damaged when you sell it? Uh... that's why I never buy expensive stuff on eBay. Too much risk in getting scammed or ripped off buying damaged goods.

By the way, I'd have my friend replace the computer. They get to keep the old one. If I did something like that, I'd insist on replacing. What kind of friend would leave you with a 1200 repair bill even if was an accident?

What kind of friend let a friend pair for an accident? What happend, happend, if he offers to help him get fixed then good, else well.... is a material thing

Anyone successfully cleaned out the inner parts of a computer with distilled water? Since there aren't any minerals or anything in it, I don't think it would cause any damage to electrical parts. It would also dry without any residue.

I dumped a cup of coffee into a Dell laptop about 5 years ago. It didn't boot, so I tried drying it out (took it apart). Still didn't boot.

Cleaning it out with 99% IPA and letting that dry out for a few days bought it back to life. The computer still works fine.

damn straight make them pay. They just voluntarily voided your warranty as well. Thats worth more than anything to me, IMO.

get him a sippy cup too, for your troubles.

Apple isn't ripping off on the repair. A customer of mine bought a 17" MPB last year. Cat knocked over a beverage on it. When he bought it he didn't get the 3 year accidental coverage for it. My company quoted $1,400 to fix it. He didn't have it, so he got a $699 HP, which came with twice as much memory and an HDMI port on it. He got the coverage on the HP.

whats your point ?

besides hp selling a laptop for 699
