so i was my desk drinking my water, put it down, went to get something and it tipped over spilling a decent amount of water on the macbook. so i got a paper towel and cleaned up what i could. so i went along with everything and it was on and a minute later it turned off. so i turned it back on and then it turned off and the screen was black but the little light on th emac kept going on and off. so i tipped it to get more water out, which to my surprise, there was and then i took out the battery. frantically called the apple store, went there. not covered cause apparently water damage aint covered so we kept the battery out and ive had a fan on the keyboard and on it since 8pm on sunday. NEED TO KNOW IF THERE IS ANY CHANCE THIS THING WILL LIVE TOMORROW!!!! i worked at american eagle unfortunetly for 2 yrs and paid 2300 for the printer, microsoft office and the warrenty all by myself and i dont want my efforts for this thing to be in vain. it's a year old so im just praying. PLEASE, ANY FEEDBACK IS POSSIBLE!

Well. You shouldn't have turned it back on. My guess is by doing that you've fried it. Put it on some heat (nothing TOO hot though) for a few days and then try and use it again.

Also, look at this thread: http://forums.macnn.com/69/mac-noteb...r-beer-liquid/
