Help.

It didn't have any sugar in it and it was only a small amount, but surprising what it can screw up.
Had some goodish news today, the logic board is dead but the hard drive is accessible, the gent at the repairers is going to put it all on a flash drive for me for £70.00, a price worth paying in my opinion.
I am also claiming for a new one off the household insurance.

According to Apple it needs a new SSD drive, a new logic board, a new top case with battery, and a display assembly plus labour.
They managed to figure all this out within a half hour inspection.
I have now left it with a mac repair centre who said if it is knackered it will cost £50.00 for the diagnosis but if they are able to salvage the hard disk they will either get the information off it for me or put it in an enclosure and just charge for the enclosure which costs about £50.00.
They also said I wasn't the first to come to them with a hefty repair bill off Apple.

Rotten Apple!

Sometimes the repair cost means your actually cheaper to buy a new machine in the long run
 
Fluid and electronics are the biggest bill generators.

Any authorised repair centre will give you an X Month warranty in which time they really don't want to see you come back. Even though the fluid didn't actually break a component and a simple wipe and dry will do they can't 100% say that it won't balls up or cause a problem in that warranty period. So its better (for them) to get the punter to pay for all the possible damage as well as actual damage and then you won't spoil their immaculate 0 returns KPI
