have scoured threads here , ifixit.com , have found lot of useful info far - have contributed.
in fog of flu, spilled water on mba. flipped over, depowered, , put on fha vent drying. 24 hours later, booted , has been operational last 3 days issues being 3 or 4 keys dont work (like apostrophe key!).
brought genius bar , felt got used car sales job; refused 3 times quote me price on replacing top panel , wanted me replace both logic board , ssd, was, roughly, same price buying new. gave me big show corrosion (although hidden under ssd) , mba dead man walking.
questions these:
1) none of research indicates liquid damage fatal, particularly if water , didnt short components immediately. true, or gb agent characterizing mba having terminal cancer more correct?
2) cleaning corrosion - nothing explicit on here. in old days of raytheon stint, wouldve wiped down iso , mek, sure @ least mek no longer allowed. chems use? assuming nylon electronics brush tackle this, or need use more aggressive? once clean this, there else needed preclude future corrosion, or going recurring task?
3) assuming actual keyboard, repairable? there specific keys , wondering if need clean circuitry under keys.
appreciate put puzzle pieces together.
all bets off when comes water damage. correct if initial spill doesn't kill it, odds of working fine in future increased in favor.
you want clean corroded area thoroughly , dry it. put on it's not exposed air; should prevent recurring/spreading. i've found thin layer of hot glue works pretty well.
keyboard issues not repairable without replacing top case.
