What Affects the Cost
Fans can spread liquid
If the MacBook Pro was running during the spill, the fans can pull liquid deeper inside. Shut it down right away.
Time since the spill
Corrosion keeps spreading after a spill. A Mac that reaches us within a few days usually needs fewer parts than one that sat for weeks.
What was spilled
Water is the least corrosive. Coffee, soda and juice leave sticky, conductive residue that damages more components.
