Sister's Ibook, Coffe, and fault...
So my sister buys an Ibook off me that has been with me for three years, with no issues, and two hours later, spills coffee all over it. She says the only problem is a few keys were not working, and a hissing noise.. few days later, it wont charge Is this probly a fried power board, as I assume, or could it be something else. BTW, the power cord is a replacement, but has had no problems for over a year before this.. what do you think? -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Yeah, I tried to tell her...

A donor sent it to us because the keyboard didn't work. Here is John's input on spills: After the offending liquid has touched the 'book: Immediately turn off/unplug the 'book Remove the battery immediately (liquid corrodes!) Do not turn the 'book back on to see if it still works Get the 'book to a repair shop ASAP- He said if the 'book is shipped within 24 hours of the spill-more than likely it will be 100% repairable. The longer the wait time, the recovery possibilities decrease dramatically. Milk is a plastic and soda is corrosive, so He has a wonderful machine for cleaning keyboards (much better than my method of putting keyboards in dishwashing machines!). A little late for this spill, but maybe helpful to others. raino -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...
