Water damage but 5 green led's are still on

[iamwolf]

I spilt water on my i5 macbook pro and when i try and turn it on nothing happens at all. I left it for a week in rice so there shouldnt be any water left in it.

So basically i want to know if the 5 green led's when i plug it in should give me hope that i can fix it without replacing the logic board.

You mean the battery capacity indicator LEDs on the left side of the MBP?
It should only tell you, that the connection between the power and the battery works, not that the logic board is okay. You can only test that by powering the MBP up.

Honestly, I highly doubt it. If you had it in rice for a week and it will not boot, I think the computer is done.

I have never had this issue, but I have repeatedly read around these forums of users who either: opened the computer and dried out the innards and/or then placed the computer in rice without starting it for a few days. Success has been mixed.

You can take it in for a diagnostic check, but I think they will quickly discover that water damage has occurred and wont help you.

Yea I'm afraid that the green leds are no indicator of how the logic board is functioning.
