kinski Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 so basically. i spilled wine on my macbook few days ago. i then disassambleed iand reassambled it to clean it and it worked fine. yesterday i took it with me to play a gig and weird thing started happening. it goes to sleep mode after a few seconds and wont turn back on. but, it gets weirder. if i open up the keybord and dont screw it back, just kinda lay it on top - it works fine as ever. but if i screw it back the way it should be it shuts down again. anyone knows what the heck?

crx091081gb Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 Reset the SMC and PRAM as first step. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest A/D Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 Maybe something's out of alignment and part of the keyboard is pressing on the power switch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kinski Posted August 16, 2014 Author Share Posted August 16, 2014 looks like smc reset helped, althought i am yet to fully screw back the keybord, but its in place and nothing happens. yay. thanks watmm :3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fenton Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 Use IPA to clean all the contacts on the underside of the keyboard, there may be some decrepit shizzle on the contacts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadameChaos Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 Hang on I know this. If you spilled red wine on it then spill some white wine on it and it'll fix it. Vice versa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
user Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 Screwing on the keyboard is probably shorting something out because of dried up wine/sugar. Try to clean it again, more properly. Make sure no traces of the delicious fluid are left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest FuncRandm Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 You have a short. Something on the chassis or keyboard is touching something else it shouldn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
