Slight water damage. Turns on but only when magsafe is connected.

2 ISSUES

I purchased a used mac from QUALITY MACS ( not so quality), when i received it i pressed the power button and didn't turn on. i charged it till the light turn green and pressed power button and nothing happened until the second time. How and what do i need to replace the power button (not key) but w.e. is under the key.

2nd issue

2 months later 5 drops of grape juice entered through the vent slit in bottom rear while OFF. Immediately dried it with a space heater on low. i let it air dry for a whole week.

pressed power button and nothing ( keep in mind it was at 80 percent battery). I connected the magsafe and immediately turned on without pressing power button.

a warning message popped up on battery icon top right. magsafe led stays orange.

As soon as you disconnect magsafe it turns off and therefore only turns/stays on with magsafe connected. I take the battery needs replacing but how do i address the issue with the power button not being responsive.???

p.s. i purchased a extended warranty after 30 day warranty was up. 1 and half year later i looked further into the company providing warranty (CPS) and read really bad review. not trying to risk sending my mac to them and i willing to fix it myself

HELP

Try to clean where the grape juice was spilled with 90% or above isopropyl alcohol.

Ok tanx.. But will i still have to replace the battery. It keeps sayin something warning battery not charging correctly. Does de-natured alcohol work too?

I've never tried denatured alchahol, not really sure about that. About the battery, you might have to replace it, try to clean near where the juice got first, then see what happens.
