@Colter - if it's 3 flashes on the front light, that is usually a RAM issue, if it's a constant flash, that is probably going to be a damaged logic board.

I spilled a drink on my key board. I immediately turned it upside down and put it in rice, it is as dry as its going to get. The battery charges, USB ports charge my phone and the light on the front is blinking. However when I open my laptop the screen does not turn on and the light dims to off. Is there anything else I can do to fix it?

I know that a picture is worth a thousand words, however, when you start the project PLEASE show or list the tools necessary to perform the operation. (i.e. PH1 or a J0 phillips)...especially the trefoil (sic) screwdriver size. Don't just quickly show it on the screen. Finally, the connectors should be carefully shown and explained on how to SAFELY remove them without damaging them. There are three (3) that come to mind on the mother board (Logic Board) that if not properly handled can damage the ribbon cable or connector for that matter. Some of us do have fat fingers and need to be reminded to be gentle and shown the proper technique in handling the different types of friction connectors when disconnecting and re-connecting etc. Otherwise, the Video was nicely done. Oh, before I forget a higher resolution 1080p would have been nice.

@Olivia - it can be the hinges themselves or if any of the casing is damaged it may be rubbing up against them as they move. You may want to go into the machine and see if you can adjust the tightness of the screws and check for any damage.

@Brett - if it doesn't turn on with a charged battery or with the power cord, it is most likely a damaged logic board. The board would need to be repaired or replaced. Both options are pricey. You may want to check with Apple if you think it may still be under warranty.

Hi there I had a USB plugged into my MacBook and I think it shorted out. Now it won't turn on or charge. Is there a fuse I need to replace or do you have any ideas on what it might be?
