hi Im new to this site but Ive seen that it is highly recommended. a week a go I spilled coffee on my MacBook Pro well actually spilled coffee on the right side where the power botton is and on top of the speaker… the mac is protected with a iskin keyboard protector…dont think any coffe enter in the keyboard… but the mac shut down and the fans where going full steam could hear them. also had a ispeek cover protecting the body. i flipped it up side down after and notice that no coffe came out of the keyboard and from the fans also nothing came out.. no liquid.. but smelled coffee from the machine. A few hours after the machine turned on and everything worked great but when i put a cd ó dvd in the super drive it doesnt eject the disc it reads the disc fine My question is I have a insurance policy here in spain bought the mac at Corte Ingles Malaga in Jan 2010 it only has 5 months going on 6!!! my seguro covers every type of accident except if its stolen apple doesnt cover liquid spills I called them and they said they would pick it up could take about 2 weeks o 4 weeks to fix it o if they see that in the long run it will fail possible change it for a new one.. Should i risk sending it to them and let them fix it, Im a musician and work the whole time with my mac….would it better to let tem fix it o risk the time factor..ahh also near the power button after hours of use it makes a small noise like a sping is being realesed.. what should i do…
Bueno…it is now may 27,2010….been without my mac pro for a bout a week…after sending it to the insurance company..hmm well today they called me??? and it turns out that the logic board was damaged, the right fan was not working, the super drive was damaged!!!! the battery was also damged..en fin…MacBook Pro..not worth the repair!!! after holding my breath for about a min… The company told me?? We are going to replace it with a new one!!! in about 3-4 days!!! yup you heard it right..a new one..thank God for insurance that works!!! Here in spain..i bought my mac in a store calle Corte Ingles..they have a insurance policy that covers everything except stealing..if you get it stolen you are out of luck!! ..and the good thing is that it is free for 6 months!! you have 6 months of insurance that covers everything….well as soon as i get the new one will write to let you know how it works..it will be a later mid 2009 model..2,66ghz bueno un saludos todo los macforeros!! Que Díos os Bendiga!
Hola Sara, Wait till tomorrow and see what happens? It´s a pain that Best buy does´nt cover water or liquid spills? The best thing you can do is make sure that no coffee got into the motherboard. I would do the rice thing it´usally works fine.. and also make sure it did´nt touch the battery?? I imagine that the coffe on the floor was´nt a puddle?? I live in spain and bought my mac in a comercial center that gave me a 3 ó 6 month coverage for any kind of damage except robbery?? if the mac is good and you don´t notice any power problems, fans working fine..then what i would do is open it up to see if the coffee touched any parte or just the bottom piece got a bit soaked? oh did the mac shut down when you spilt the coffee?? if so just wait to reboot it..Tomorrow would be a good time to see if everything is alright? let me know how everything is funcioning? if everything is fine get some insurence to cover any kind of damage..it´s worth it since macs are very very expensive…Excuse my english but I´ve been living in spain for about 11years and my english skills have deteriated a bit…well Sara hope eveything goes well..keep me updated ok..take care and God Bless
