Took it to Apple store
, tier3 780 dollars.

Me=College student=Broke.

soo i found a local buisness where they fix macbook and stuff

and they said they use a device called fisher cleaning device which is suppose to a high end cleaning machine.
they said it would cost me $150 dollars and they had high successful rate.
with that $150 dollars if they fail, they will only charge me $50 for the diagnostic.

Should i do it? or shuold i go to a local authorized apple buisness and get it fixd there?

Authorized Service Providers will at best be the same price as Apple unless they have used parts in stock. Doesn't sound like a bad idea to try out cleaning. I have had some joy fixing spills by cleaning. Having said that, there is no guarantee at all. Does the MacBook power on at all? Any signs of life?
