MacBook Air Autopsy (Graphic)
Apparently MacBook Air's don't like coffee.
My friend Chris sent me a simple email on Monday.

So. Sad.
Long story short - it's been a long weekend. Girlfriend spilled wine on her new MBA. What can you do, s*** happens. Immediately powered it off, turned it over. Wasn't a lot of wine but, well, enough to do some damage.She made a couple of trips to 2 genius bars this weekend, and then we made another today. The first guy took it to the back room, came back 5 minutes later and said - there's a lot of liquid in there, coffee stains on the logic board. Guy said they could do a complete rebuild for $1300.
So I convinced her to let me take it apart. She's a student, so buying another has to wait. And I like taking stuff apart.
Still, Chris and his better half are making the best of it. They've used this as an opportunity to play around, taking the Air apart and doing what they can to see if it can be salvaged. I think it's gone Humpty Dumpty, but maybe they can make like Dr. Frankenstein and bring the poor Air back to life.
If anyone wants to help, please post in the forum thread.
