My MacBook pro was turned on and in use on an airplane, when heavy turbulence hit. A cup of soup landed on the keyboard, and the machine winked off, never again to restart. Opened the backplate, cleaned it out as best I could on the road, and allowed to dry. No luck. How can this machine be resurrected?
Is this a good question?

The keyboards usually short out first and have to be replaced. Please give us the last four figures of your serial number so we know your exact machine.

I have completely disassembled the machine. Some corrosion on the underside of the mother board was cleaned off with 91% isopropyl alcohol. The keyboard cannot be accessed without damaging very thin cables. Waiting for this machine to dry thoroughly before reassembly. Hope it works ... and that the keyboard, on/off button, and trackpad are still in good order.
