So I got My mac book wet ( spilled water on the table not even the book ) I waited for it to dry a few days and still nothing wondering if any of You could help fix it cheaper than I can get a new one.

Thanks in advance.

did it have Power applied to it at the time of the "incident"?

tough one to suggest much about. Try leaving it open, laying in the sun on a table in the house - see if it will eventually dry out. Sounds like it's still wet.

I completely soaked my ipod a few months ago, stuck in a bag of rice for a few days & it works fine now.
Try a new battery, see if that helps.

I have tried these things still no luck. I was told the part need is pricey enough I might as well buy a brand new comp. If anyone whant to give Me $50 bucks for this one minus hard drive they can have it.

Ya I have heard of allot of Macs being saved too but My Fiance was the one using it and She did not know to shut it off ASAP She started dancing around the table waving Her arms and yelling. I did not get to it in time as I could not understand what the hell She was saying.[Bang]

These guys do good work and won't bend you over a barrel (like the Apple Store). Might be worth a try.

Well, given the sh!t that most people listen to these days, probably no difference and would have been fine.

denver mac repair is another good resource for affordable mac repairs. first things that come to mind is power supply unit or motherboard, but water damage can be a tricky thing because you cant always know what was damaged. good luck man. denvermacrepair.com
