My macbook sat on a desk overnight and water dripped near it, not directly on it. About 6 inches away from power cord which was plugged in. Desk was wet when i picked it up but keys seemed dry. I tried to dry it out with a fan for several days and have let it sit for a couple of months. Still no good. It turns on and I hear fans go on and hard drive but that is it. Nothing on screen no beeps. If I leave it on for a while battery gets fairly warm. I brought it to apple and they said it could be screen or motherboard. 700 for screen and over 1000 for motherboard. Should I just pull out hdd and try to retrieve data and move on or is there anything I can do to try and fix this mac. Thanks
It’s a matter of how much you like this laptop because after all this is 6yrs old. So if you can how ever find a use mother board and screen, plus if you handy and put it together it feel good to know. I both a similar laptop in eBay for $20.00 damaged and it’s a 2006 and its still working . Only problem is logic that old cannot operate in newest OSX (elCapitan). Mountain Lion is its max OSX. but then it only cost me under $150.00
