So last night I was writing a paper. It was maybe... 2am? I was tiiired! Anywho, I went to reach for my sweet tea, and I spilled it... All... over... my keyboard. I spilled it on the side with the charger and all the way to the R-ish key. I literally picked my computer up and poured tea out of it. It runs fine, BUT it will not charge. It shows it's connected to the power adapter, but says, "Battery is not charging." What's it sound like to you? Time for a MacBook Pro?

Aaaaargh. What kind of lappy was it? How old? Sucks really bad regardless.

I'm getting my first (used) laptop on Monday, so perhaps it will be the spiritual reincarnation of yours. May you find peace in its passing...

It's about a 1.5 year old Black MacBook. I feel like I have a family member on life support. I may just have to pull the plug. I'm going to the hospital tomorrow (Apple Store) to see that they have to say.

I did a little reading. I reset my PMU? Works like it should! Kinda upset I dont have an excuse for a new computer, but ... oh well.

ADDam, you just gave yourself an excuse to get a new macbook. Hurry before you change your mind (or before the new PC commercials dont brainwash you)
