Hello all,
I know this question is asked on this forum a lot but for peace of mind I just have to start a thread on it. My Apple MacBook Pro 13" had Gatorade spilt on it. Right when it occurred I flipped the MacBook upside down to let as much of the liquid out as possible. It stayed on for a few minutes but then totally died and will not turn back on. I left it in a cooler of rice over night but that didn't seem to help at all.
My local Apple store charges a flat rate of $750 for repair (for whatever needs to be replaced) and MacService charges a little over $399 if it's just the Logic Board - but there could be more problems than just the logic board.
So my question is - what is the best method to getting my MacBook Pro repaired that is affordable. I did end up going out to buy a brand new MacBook but I would like to fix this one to use as a backup. What all could need replacement rather than the logic board?
I'm no professional with computers but I learn quickly. Is it do-able myself?
Thank you all!
