not to expect the free repair. but they rejected to treat due to no appointment when someone who can help is available. two hours' delay may do more damage to my computer. the staff said it is by the standard process.

FYI, the damage is already done. It won't make any difference with the way Apple repairs damaged devices. Apple will replace any & all components which show liquid residue or corrosion even if that part is currently functional.


I hope you already have a good backup, but if not & your laptop is still working, then make a backup ASAP or you will lose your data.
