Title:

Spill killed keyboard, but not trackpad

Text:

Just finished replacing the screen on my wife's MBA (thx, iFixit!) and she goes and spills her scotch on the keyboard (love that woman).

Keyboard was dead, but CPU, screen, speakers, antenna, trackpad all worked.

I figured I would open it up again and see if there were any obvious damage. Walked through all the steps up to "remove screen." Visually inspected, checked all the keys, used a little compressed air. Nothing obvious.

Reassembled, BUT now no light on the magsafe and no boot up.

Toast?

MacBook Pro 13" Unibody Early 2011
