    My grand daughter spilled the tinyest bit of Diet Coke on the keyboard and it fried.apples warranty is shit. They wanted as much to repair the thing as it cost to buy another one. I hate to throw it away if it might, by chance, be able to be repaired. I know there are a lot of really smart people here that can do some amazing things. If anyone is able and willing to fix this thing at a reasonable price I would appreciate it.

    My kids did the same thing (with water) and to fix I set it open, upside down on a milk crate with a hair dryer running on low for a few hours.

    Worked perfectly the next day and still does.

    Don't turn it on until dry though.

    I found some youtube video on this.

    Soda is corrosive, unlike water.

    Correct. Especially that diet crap!
