I got a macbook from a friend who spilt a drink on her macbook. It is doing some funny things but it only half-way works. heres a video i made explaining everything:
i jus got it to come on and function for about 2 mins then it just randomly shut off. when i pressed to power button to turn it back on it was like it resumed where I was but the backlight wasnt on so I could bairly tell that it was even on. It sounds like faulty hardware to me. But would it be the processor or the whole motherbored or what?
900 dollars sounds just about right. your logic board needs to be repaired.. if u can pick one up second hand and can install it yourself go hard, but ur warranty, if u had any, will be voided. its better off getting a new computer
I have spilt a lot things into a my keyboard. I always jus took it apart an cleaned it up good. there are 3 film like things in there sandwiched between two metal plates. You got to take out a bunch of screws to get to em. Washed them, cleaned all the things I could. Put it all back together and it worked fine. Aint never been inside a laptop but I'm sure those film like things are in there for the keyboard. Clean it up Country an see what happens. 🙂
alright i'll take it back apart and let it air out and clean anything I can. I found a site to get a new motherbored for around 300 bucks. If it isa the motherbored ill probably do that or just let the thing sit.
ive realized what does it! It runs and boots up just fine until it gets hot. I noticed this when I had the keybored off after it booted up and ran for a good 5 mins. So is this still the logic bored? It is hot right over the processor heatsink. Could it be the processor? or would it not run at all if it was the processor?
