also dont drop your visor - of which i still use the ebay replacement- will go the ipod? some day I guess
also dont put your coffee on a ledge next to it ..sniff
I freaked , drained the mac book,and used a heat gun to melt some of the keyboard the buttons off
brilliant
ˆ I next opened it up and sprayed elec contact cleaner in
brilliant again
I vacuumed it with a shop vacuum and lost a few more buttons off top
I hung it over the stove for two days
upshot the mac dealer sold me a new imac computer and said mine was shot and an insurance job- so we went that route and my premiums shot up to the moon
got curious and it would boot somewhat but no screen so took it apart and discovered the dealer had disconnected the screen and had told me it was a write off and needed a 1500 buck logic board
I dont deal there anymore
my macbook looks a bit troubled but works fine
an aside-my lg cell was under the snow for 2 mos last winter after scooping roof snow- I dried it out and worked- then I left it in the wash- dried it out and it works- a miracle yet and I hope the last time
ps thanks for the software tips on this thread- I dwnldd gimp
