Also, when you get your machine back, take it apart yourself and try to dry
it out. It may work again.
I had the same experience with a PowerBook 1400 some years ago when it was
left out in the rain overnight. Managed to take it apart and dry it out. It
worked fine after that. Water damage can typically be fixed unless severe
corrosion has taken place. Believe what the tech says, but also try and
check it out yourself before spending that dough on a new logic board. You
may just be able to get it working again!
All the best. Let us know how it turns out.
Regards,
Mark.

Jeremy,
The only components I can think of that are susceptible to water
are speakers, if they have paper cones, and I doubt that any laptop
speakers have paper cones.
Battery packs might be susceptible because they are
ultrasonically
welded together and it might be hard to get water out if it is submerged
for time. Also electrolysis as batteries would invariably be charged.
But easy to test ok/not ok.
BTW, pure water is not an eletrolyte. Beer is only a mild
eletroloyte.
What components in the iBook were damaged by the water? Did they
try to clean? Were they shown to be damaged or was that just the tech
say so?
