I have a 1 and a half year old mac book pro. Recently a gatorade was spilled on it. Not a large amount was spilled but engouh that it stoped stopped working. The tech told me that the logic board was broken but for the amount that was spilled i think there must be a way to fix it, any help would be great.

If the logic board is fried, then it's fried. You could try pulling it apart, cleaning out the insides, and trying it again, but that might just create more problems than you already have.

Okay quick update, I took it down to a fellow mac man in my school and he got it to boot up in target mode and you could see the harddrive and everything.
