My daughter's twins "helped mommy" and washed her laptop using spray bottles. She says the display was closed. I replaced the keyboard which was damaged by me. (I pulled too hard on the plug and ribbon cable). The hard drive seems to be okay because I ran it in another MacBook 13 with no problems.

The symptoms are: Press the power button. Silver screen, then black screen, plays the audio chord sound, silver screen again, apple logo and worm chasing it's tail, blue screen, black screen. It is stuck there. The little white led on the front edge is glowing in and out as in sleep mode.

Once in a while I can coax it out of the black screen and it shows the desktop disply, but only for about 1 second. It acts like it is constantly trying to go into sleep mode.

Does anyone have any suggestions of what I should try to swap out next? I have an identical laptop that I can use to swap parts for diagnostic purpose.
