i got my mbp in less than 3 weeks ago, 15" 2.2 c2d 128mb 8600GT, lovely! i have a relative working in apple in CA and he gets 15% off for staff price *2 thumbs up* biggrin.gif

anyway, over these years, i've never spilt any drinks or water on my old lappy or desktop keyboard, guess what i did on the 2nd/3rd day i got my mbp dry.gif

anyway, some of the keycaps are very stiff atm due to the coffee drying up inside, i took out the keycaps 1 by 1 following the mbp DIY ebook i found on internet. some of the rigid keys are fixed but some just couldnt go away. moreover, the keyboard backlighting are pretty scr*wed, now only the center part of the keyboard would illuminate. i couldnt get warranty claim from my own mishandling, could i? all i can hope now is the colour of the keycaps starts to fade, so i have a legit reason to claim warranty as this happens to a lot of mbp keyboards.

ps. i have banned cups going near my mbp since then dry.gif

Yeah you probably could; just say you don't know what happened smile.gif I remember my ipod splashed into the water before; I went into the apple store in Atlanta and I told them my ipod wasn't working anymore. I  told them it just wouldn't turn on. No more questions asked, they replaced it on the spot. Now thats service.

hopefully that's the case... as for the keyboard replacement, i guess i can't get it replaced on the spot, can i? still gotta leave the lappy for them for at least a couple of hours or days. i'm just afraid that they'll find out the coffee stain inside the keyboard, hehehe...havent drop by to ask them yet as i just moved to a new place and an assignment due soon

damn, was reading the article on the revised mbp. i was hoping to get an mbp with SSD since late last year but guess we couldn't have all the eggs in the same basket, can we?

i've been using windows for pretty much all my life and been cursing on mac whenever i used my sis or mum's lappy. however, i took the courage to switch to apple this year and never looked back. i had bootcamp pre-installed just in case there are some software that's lacking for macs but surprisingly, software support for macs is way better than i expected thumbup.gif
