Chosen Solution Spilled coffee on my 2008 version black MacBook. Came back to life in 12 hours. Worked fine for 6 more months. Crapped out suddenly. Mac told me price to fix would be $850. Bought a new MacPro instead for around $1,000, but would like to fix my old MacBook as a back up. Any ideas on how to do so for around $500?
Coffee is bad…first off, but apparently you did not have any sugar in it or spilled such a little amount that your computer still worked for so long after it… Here’s what i do frequently when a customer has this issue…If you remove your macbooks top-case, and take a spray non-conductive electronics cleaner and lightly spray the logic board, then take a soft toothbrush and scrub the board, especially over spots where you see some spill residue, take out the ram and scrub it with the toothbrush too (Dont worry, you wont hurt it!...
