Hi everyone, About a year ago, I stupidely spilled beer on my MBP. The next morning, the keyboard wasn’t working. I plugged in an external keyboard, and I have been using that ever since. A year later, my laptop is working fine besides the keyboard. The trackpad works perfectly. The power supply is how it has always the been. The speed of my computer is the same. I guess I am lazy, but I didn’t look into fixing my computer because I heard it would be around $800 to fix which I wasn’t willing to pay because I could just get a new laptop. However, is that cost to cover the damage of the trackpad and the keyboard? I’m not really a technology expert and barely understand the concept of these components anyways. Please let me know! My mom wants to buy me a Chromebook, but I’m rather attached to my MBP since I bought it with a minimum wage salary, and it has all of my audio software on it. I’m not sure the Chromebook will be able to run any of my studio software (which would be a complete waste of money!!!) Thanks. Any reply helps! :) -Alex
Hi, the issue you’re having with your keyboard could be one of two things; the motherboard or the actual keyboard itself. If it is the keyboard, which it probably is, then a quote of $800 is ridiculously high. I need more information to help you, though. Can you provide the model number? It should be either A1278, A1425 or A1502. Also, was it Apple or a 3rd party that quoted $800 to fix?
