MacBook water spill - works but doesn't charge. Apple doesn't do partial repairs?

I spilled some water on my MacBook Pro (15in retina).
I let it dry for a couple of days then powered it. It worked.
When the battery got to 0%, I plugged the MacSafe and it didn't charge. It sometimes charges, but intermittently. It charges very rarely.
I brought the laptop to the Apple Store, and they said that it would cost $2000 to repair, because they want to replace EVERY parts that were water stained.
I only want to change the Adapter Port, and POSSIBLY the Logic Board IF changing the Adapter Port didn't fix the charging issue. Knowing the above, it will most likely work, but if it doesn't, that's OK, I'll buy a new one. I'd rather risk $3-400 by doing this and buying a new Macbook IF it fails, than paying 2K for a repair straight away.
Of course my laptop could break eventually if not all parts are replaced, but that's fine (I was able to wash some water stains with alcohol already).
Why doesn't Apple simply change the parts that must be changed, letting the customer take a risk or whatever if he wants so?
IMO -- Terrible policy that must be reviewed.

My shuffle will not work!! it charges but once of charge it doesn't work, reset it but still no joy?? any ideas??

my shuffle will not work!! it charges but once of charge it doesn't work, reset it but still no joy?? any ideas??

I did a little bit of experimenting. I have an iPad original versions myself. I took it out of the box knowing that I haven used it in months and I expected the battery to be dead and sure enough the battery was as dead as I imagined it would be. For the first 30 minutes I experienced exactly what you are experiencing, but then the iPad suddenly powered up on its own (like it does when plugged into the charger) and I am using it now to type this response to you.
My point is that I am starting tothink that your battery has suddenly died on you for some reason or you have a hardware problem now. I would still try leaving the iPad charge for a while longer - maybe even overnight - and then try again in the morning. Unplug the iPad and try resetting with the home and sleep buttons. Try plugging the iPad in again. Unplug it, try restarting again. Let it charge for a while again.
After trying something like that, if it still will not start up, then I think it's time for a trip to an Apple Store and see what the Apple Techs think.

Try reset iPad
Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears

Check the iPod Hardisk health with the iPod Disk Diagnostic, as posted by tt2

It wont fix your problem, but may tell help troubleshoot, why it is freezing iTunes, especially when the Pending and Realloc numbers are high.

Coffee spilled on Macbook Pro, still works but shuts off randomly

Hello,
A Macbook in the family had coffee recently spilled on the keyboard. It was immediately un-plugged and flipped upside down and left powered off for a week or so. I took it apart and cleaned what residue I could find off with rubbing alcohol on the logic board and any other parts including the charging circuit board. I re-assembled it and tested it; sure enough it powered up perfectly fine and all works well.
However, it is not totally working flawlessly. It will be working fine for maybe 20-30min then randomly shuts off cold (as if the power button was held down). The next time it is powered up, sometimes it requires several presses of the power button. When the screen finally comes up, the screen shows the gray, out of focus picture of my desktop with the block progress bar. Once the progress bar finishes, all is well until the next power down.
I am wondering if anyone knows a specific component I should look at as suspect to this problem. The logic board appears to be fine with a few spots not perfect. I have ordered a new Mag Safe charging component as this circuit board has a lot of corrosion. I thought I should look at where the power button attaches to the logic board to see if there is a short that could simulate holding the power button down and didn't find anything out of the ordinary. I wouldn't think the power button would need replacing as it is mounted higher up off the bottom of the case, but it may be worth replacing?
Any suggestions would be helpful.
Thanks

Spill Cleaning
And, don't think that just because it was two teaspoons and not a glassful that there is a difference.
Some liquid has just spilled into your Mac. What should you do?
Do
Immediately shut down the computer and unplug the power cord.
Remove the computer's battery (if you can)
Disconnect any peripherals (printers, iPods, scanners, cameras, etc.)
Lay the computer upside down on paper towels to get as much liquid as possible to drip out.
Note what was spilled on your Mac.
Bring the computer into an Apple store or AASP as soon as possible.
Don't
Don't try to turn it back on. Liquids can help electrical current move about the components of your Mac in destructive ways.
Don't shake the computer (this will only spread the liquid around).
Don't use a hair dryer on it (even at a low setting a hair dryer will damage sensitive components).
Do not put in a bag of rice in as much as rice will get into the ports and optical drive and do further damage.

Led Light on MageSafe Charger Does not light;MacBook Air Recognizes it but does not charge

So I've had my MacBook Air (Mid-2011) for over a year now. The reason I am posting this is because I originally had a 40W MagSafe "L" Shape that came with my MacBook Air. Well I accidently spilled Pepsi on it while it was plugged in and you get the gist of that. Well I had bought an 85W "L" Shape adapter and it works perfectly fine, no problems. I've had the 40W stored away for probably 5 months or so and recently got the itch to work on it and try to trouble shoot it. Being an IT student, I get a hunch to just take apart things and try to fix them. But anyway, I've reset the prongs on the L part itself, I've changed the plug in to the 3 prong AC instead of the "Duck Face" thing. I've checked for SMC updates and it told me my MacBook does not need it. Well when I plug in my charger, it is recognized immediately by my MacBook. But on the top where the battery level is, it says "Battery is not Charging" and also says "Power Source: Power Adapter". So I am a little confused as to why it won't charge. I let it dry out when this first happened in some rice but I am not sure that did anything for it. I also have cleaned it, like i said I reset the prongs on the L shaped adapter itself. I haven't on the other hand gone and opened it, just because messing with those adapters and any adapters can lead to you getting shocked regardless. So if anyone has any suggestions let me know, I would like to use this charger as a At home charger or my mobile charger when I go to school. Thanks!

"drying it out" does nothing as per the acid in the soda and sticky corrosive sugar and acid left behind.
Youve gone thru $100 worth of effort in repairing a $60 charger, and plan on more effort.
Either a used charger online would be a cheaper option and better than possibly causing logic board damage to your macbook Air.

My macbook is plugged in but says Not Charging. What do I do?

Well It was charging this morning but when I got back from class and plugged it up and connected the pin the light isn't green and the battery doesn't show that it's charging and idk what to do someone please help! I haven't dropped it at all or banged it up against anything so I'm not sure whats going on I'm currently using the 3 prong ended extension plug

Read through the knowledge base article on Troubleshooting MagSafe to see there is not a problem with the connector. If that looks ok, can you borrow a charger from another MBP owner to see if that works? If it does not, or you cannot borrow an appropriate charger, then it is time to visit an Apple store genius bar and have the MBP and charger tested by the techs. Could be the charger, cable, or MBP.

Macbook Water Spill, Screen 'Stained'

0870 876 0753
Hello, i recently was washing my macbook screen with just a slightly wet tissue and a few drops reached the bottom, and then i started seeing the water rising in my screen so i quickly wiped it all up. I un-clipped the casing around the screen and dried that up. Im wondering if this can be dried out and easily sorted.
But i’ve heard many opinions from loads of sites so i don’t actually know what will work.
Can anyone give me any advice on how i can fix this or if i will have to buy a whole new screen which i don’t have a clue on the costs. But i would hope it could just evaporate and be left fine.
Thanks

Yeah, im going to just leave it for a while. I had it on earlier and i could see that it was slowly going because of the heat from the macbook (yes, it overheats). So im going to do a night with it left on and plugged in to see if it works.

After resetting the SMC, my Macbook is dead, doesn't charge and doesn't boot and I have no light on the adapter cord.

My Macbook pro wouldn't start (no screen activity).
So, I did a PRAM but it made noises like 3 short sounds then 3 long sounds or something like that (I never heard sounds like that coming from my macbook and it was so weird and I just can't really and exactly remember the sounds).
Because of those sounds, I read on the Internet that I had to reset the SMC, which I did perfectly according the the steps described on the Apple Support Page (I really and slowly followed the steps perfectly).
Now, instead of those sounds, I do not have anything at all : no light on the adapter cord, no sound at all, no activity, no starting sound, no screen activity, the battery more than half full is not charging at all anymore....it's like the SMC killed my computer.
My Macbook is dead. I tried repeating the SMC steps one by one many times without success. Since it was not working, afterwards, I even tried the steps in an other order (I saw that on another website) but without success.
Can somebody help me ?

I have never heard of SMC causing anything like what you are experiencing ever. I suspect that while you were doing the SMC that you Mac suffered a catistrophic failure. Hence my suggestion to take to Apple for repair.
If you want to keep messing with it that is your call. I am done here.

IPhone 3GS is working but not will charge and connect to usb?

pc case front usb cables from the mainboard on the firewire (1394) was inserted into the output. iphone usb port on front when installed, restart. iphone is running, but little battery left. I installed the usb port for charging. (Pc rear of the chassis). itune iphone did not recognize. did not start charging. I bought iPhone to factory settings. the battery is over. Now, when I connect the charger, iphone opens. Apple is coming. After a while it freezes. after some time starts again. does not charge. usb does not work.
please help.

Hi there, sounds like the LCD is dead. If it is under warrenty take it to your local Apple store to get it evaluated for replacement. Sorry for the bad news, hope it helps!

IPhone 4S fell on some water, was working but now won't work. I got a replacement coming. Can I use the old Sim card in the new phone if it wasn't damaged? Will I get my pictures and contacts and messages back if it wasn't damaged?

My iPhone 4S accidentally fell into a very shallow bit of water. The phone was wet, but worked afterwards for a short bit. Now it's not working, so I called and got a replacement phone coming. Same exact phone. Can I use the old Sim card in the new phone without harming anything? I don't know if the sim card got messed up or not, but I had a lot of pictures and messages and my contacts on my phone, and I assume these were on the sim card or am I wrong? I just wan to know if I can use the old sim card if it's still working in the new phone that is coming, as long as there was no damage to it? Thanks

I think I had it on the iCloud, I just changed computers and had part of my old computer backed up, where are the default iTunes info saved like the pictures and I know my contacts were backed up cuz I kept getting updated stuff that I wasn't sure about, but it was contacts where some belonged to my wife's contacts....but anyway, if the cloud backed up contacts, it should have grabbed pictures too? Like I asked before, if they were backed up to the computer, is there a default iTunes folder they are saved to? I had a crap load of pictures on there that I usually could really access if I was connected to wi-fi. I turned off my data stuff as I only have 4GB and between me and my 2 kids, we seemed to use up a lot of it. My son would play music from Pandora during work, and use up all our data til I limited him to only 3GB, my daughter and I barely used 1GB. Anyway, thanks to everybody that is answering. I thought I might have done good finding the dang sim card, but pointless I guess.
Ralph - F.Y.I. I would be happy to back up the iPhone if I could turn it on LOL......I am pretty positive I did, but what about Text messages? ANY of those saved too or not? Sorry guys, I don't know a **** of a lot about cell phones, but I do know about memory cards, but not sim cards that act like memory cards or look like them anyway. What is the purpose of a sim card if I may ask a stupid question since they don't hold any data from my phone stuff. I just hope my stuff comes back on the new replacement phone once I get it up and running. Again, thanks to everybody for the edumucation.

XPath /A/B/C/@a works, but /A/A/A/@a doesn't ...

I get XPath values for simple XML files without problems (element values or attribute values). Now I have an XML file where a quite simple XPath doesn't work:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>

</gesmes:Envelope>The XPaths "/gesmes:Envelope/Cube/Cube/@time" or "//Cube/Cube/@time" don't work. I notice that the element names of different hierarchies are the same so I built a similar XML with distinguished element names and there my xpath works. Alas, the XML file is the source that I can't change. So is there another way to state an XPath to get the time value?

I use this code:
 * Get value of the node specified by an XPath.
 * @param item The starting context (e.g. document, node, node list).
 * @param xPath XPath to select single node value (e.g. "/root/data/value[1]/text()")

Iphone works but is not charging after installing new battery

Hi guys ,
I am going to do my best to clearly explain what has happened with my Iphone 5s. I noticed my battery was losing charge much quicker then normal so i went ahead and ordered a new battery from Ifixit. I consider myself pretty decent at hands on jobs so i went ahead and replaced the battery myself to try and save some money. The installation went as smooth as can be, No broken parts to my knowledge and the phone went back together no problem. I then powered the phone on , it came on just like normal and everything seemed to be ok , besides the fact the the battery they gave me was only charged 13%. This is when my problems started to happen , I grabbed my apple charger and plugged it in like i would do any other time to charge up the battery. I came back in a hour and noticed that it was still stuck on the same 13% and had not moved at all. It recognized the charger and even said it was charging and showed the lightning bolt but would not take the charge.
I started looking up things online about how to fix this and found a lot of people with similar problems after they changed there battery or lcd screen. I then unplugged it and thought maybe it needed to be calibrated so i let it run completely out of juice until the phone shut off completely. Plugged it in again and now it was stuck at the screen when your phone is dead and shows that it needed to be plugged in. I tried cleaning out the the charger port and that did not help. I then thought it might be the battery IFIXIT sent me so i took the phone apart again , and put my old battery back into the phone , put it all back together and it turned on no problem, I thought my issue was fixed but i was wrong. I went a plugged it in to charge it and the same thing happened again , would not take a charge just stayed stuck on the same percentage. I went through the phone and made sure all my connections were good and nothing was broken. The phone has been barley used over the last year and before i replaced the battery it had no problems what so ever and the charger port always worked fine.
Does anyone have any idea what my problem could be? I have read so many forums and spent hours trying to get to the bottom of this with no luck yet. Alot of other people seem to have this same problem happen when they replaced there battery or LCD but cant find a solution. I contacted IFIXIT and they thought it could be a bad battery and are sending me out a new one next day shipping. That was before i tested my old battery and found out it has nothing to do with a bad battery it just wont take a charge now. Any help will be greatly appreciated i no longer have apple-care so that's not a option. i was told to maybe clean all the connections with alchol but im a bit nervous that could cause more problems?

Ok, you go and pay that 80 bucks, I will go have a nice dinner with the money I saved.
Fair market value for a legitimate iPhone battery would be about $40-50. If you're paying anything less than that, then you're getting an inferior battery. How much did you pay for the replacement battery? Let's assume you didn't get scammed, and actually did purchase a quality (albeit unauthorized) battery.
So, you saved about $30-40. Okay, good so far. However, now you run the risk of:
A) The installation was performed incorrectly, and causes a problem down the road.
B) The battery or iPhone has a related issue within the next few months, and you pay for another battery and/or another installation, because the first one didn't fix the problem.
C) That battery wasn't actually a quality battery; it was just priced like one, and it leaks, expands, causes a fire, etc.
There's a phrase you need to learn; penny wise and pound foolish.
Depending on the context, it has various meanings. In this context, it means you are trying to save a little bit of money in the short term, but failing to see the possible long term costs.
Let's take a hypothetical:
I have an iPhone 6 Plus, 128 GB. Retail cost: $949 USD + tax.
My battery needs to be replaced. Apple quotes me $79 USD + tax. I find a place in the mall called 'iFix iPhones 4 U' that will do it for $40, parts and labor included.
"Heh, dumb Apple, they think I'm a sucker. I'm saving me $39 and taking my girl out to a fancy place, like Red Lobster!" (sarcasm intended)
About three months later, I notice that my iPhone 6 Plus is getting really warm. Like, toasty warm, almost enough to burn my skin.
I go back to the kiosk in the mall that replaced my battery. They tell me they don't warranty their work past five days, and they could replace the battery again for $40, if I want. Great. Now I've broken even, but at least I have that great Red Lobster dinner memory!
A few weeks later, the screen flashes red, and the iPhone locks up.
The kiosk guy tells me he's down, and to go somewhere else. He's sick of seeing me, because he's already got my money, and there's a sign that says 'All sales final'. What am I gonna do? Hire a lawyer over $80?
Maybe Apple can help. I go to the Apple Store, explain my case, they inspect my iPhone, and then tell me they cannot replace the battery because the device has had unauthorized service. Dang. Okay, but I've heard that I can get an iPhone 6 Plus exchanged, even if it's damaged, for $329. Surely they will do that, right?
Nope. Unauthorized modifications void ALL support options from Apple. Meaning I cannot get it replaced by Apple. So, what are my options?
A) Pay another $949 USD + tax to get another iPhone 6 Plus 128 GB.
B) Find another unauthorized shop and try my luck again... and again... and again.
Guess I'm not going to Red Lobster anytime soon.

For the want of a rider the battle was lost,
For the want of a battle the kingdom was lost,

TL;DR Version: Saving $30-40 bucks today might end up costing you 20x as much later on.
Instead of that nice dinner, chew on that instead.

HT3964 connected new external monitor to macbook pro, was working but now have no power, black screen in laptop. monitor purchased with advice from tech and set up also. Worked fine for an hour and then quit

Have just connected a viewsonic external monitor to macbook pro 10.6.8, had everything up and running fine for about an hour then the macbook quit. No power (ws running off power source) Have I killed my macbook? Help!

Aha, all is good.
I went to Library/ColorSync/Profiles/Displays
and to home/Library/ColorSync/Profiles/Displays
and deleted all SyncMaster.icc files. I did leave behind one SyncMaster file in the home/../Displays which had an old date and I new was ok.
Rebooted, plugged in SyncMaster, and a new icc file was automatically created in the /Library/../Displays folder.
My display works normally, now.

MAMP home page works, but my own PHP file doesn't.

MAMP 1.7.2 is working oddly. I just installed it and the homepage works fine at the default address:
http://localhost:8888/MAMP/?language=English
However when I create a "hello, world" foo.php in the MAMP/test directory and load it with this URL:
http://localhost:8888/MAMP/test/foo.php
I get a page not found error.
Same with an .html file.
My sole clue: the file /Applications/MAMP/logs/apacheerrorlog contains this line:
[Fri Oct 10 16:29:50 2008] [error] [client ::1] File does not exist: /Applications/MAMP/bin/mamp/foo
Not clear to me why it expects the /bin/mamp extra directories.
And /Applications/MAMP/conf/apache/httpd.conf has this line, which seems right:
DocumentRoot "/Applications/MAMP/htdocs"
Any ideas why HTML and PHP files don't work?
Rig:
MAMP 1.7.2

MySQL port: 8889
MacBook Air 1.6 Ghz Core 2 Duo
OS/X 10.5.5
2G RAM
80G hard disk, 50G free

Actually I do know something, because it(url address) above does work on my Panther MAMP to load bs.php & bs.html files out of htdocs. And start page loads fine.
