Chosen Solution
I spilled a little bit of beer on the top left corner on my macbook pro. Turned it off immediately and put it on its side for a bit. After a while I tried turning it on again because the spillage was not to big and it worked perfectly. But the day after it froze when I tried to log in to my account. Turned it off to let it dry for another day, but it didnt help much.
I sent it in to apple to let them check it out and they said that the logic board and keyboard needed to be replaced.
I opened it up to clean the logic board my self with some stilled water, but it didnt improve anything.
Then I tried login in to the guest user and as a surprise it worked perfectly!
As an accident I started it in boot mode, cmd + R while starting, and was able to wipe the hard drive and reinstalling OSX, but couldnt make a new user without it freezing. So then I restored it from a backup which went perfect, but it still froze when trying to log in to the account.
On the edge of giving up I bought a can of isopropanol and gave the logic board a bath and dried it with a hair blower. I was able to enter the desktop after that and open safari (some times), but it still froze in the end.
Now Im out of ideas and hoping some of you have any advice about what to do.
If it works with the guest user but not the primary, that sounds like a software issue. Does the Safari work in guest user mode? How did the liquid enter the machine? Do you have a system on the external drive ? If not see if you can install one and boot from it. Then run Disk Utilities from the external to check the internal.
Seems you should find another logic board, but now I’m think about what Apple say..why also keyboard need replacement? Maybe is just a issue on keyboard freeze the os… I hope some veteran user here can answer this question. Good luck
