Title:

Broken on/off button after spill in unibody MacBook Pro 17

Text:

Hello,
I have a almost brand new MacBook Pro Unibody 3.06Ghz. Someone (of course not me!!) spilled some coffee in the keyboard. Now the on/off button does not work. Now this is a Norwegian keyboard with layout like Spanish. I moved the logic board to another MBP 17" so the logic board is ok and the problem is the top case. It is not possible (as far as I know) to get parts for the top case and a new one cost over $300.

So does anyone have suggestion as how to try to fix this? Nothing happens when I press the on/off button.

Device:

MacBook Pro 17" Unibody
