On saturday, I spilled coke and it hit the back of my macbook pro. The laptop shut off immediately and I quickly began to try drying it off. I made the mistake of trying to turn the computer back on but that didn't work. I also tried connecting it to the wall charger and the charger light did not turn on. Again this was also a mistake because then I realized I probably could have shorted out my computer. I left the computer upside down and next to a fan for the rest of the night to dry it out. In the morning the laptop still would not turn on, but the charger light did turn on so it seemed like there would be hope. I ended up taking the back off of the computer and dried up as much of the coke as I could see and reach. I left the back off for another night. Then the next day I ended up removing the party for another 24hours and let the computer dry out again. The next day (tuesday) I put the battery back and the computer powered back up and is working perfectly fine again...with one minor glitch.

I am having trouble connecting to the internet. I can connect to the wireless internet in our apartment perfectly fine. It takes a little bit to connect but it works just fine. When I am on campus though, I cannot connect to the internet at all. Are there any thoughts as to why this might be??
