Hello all. One of the most ordinary situations but the one I need your help with (especially if you live in California). My wife spilled some coffee on her Macbook Air and, naturally, the machine stopped working. At first, the machine wouldn't boot up, but after a day or so it eventually did. However, now we are getting three long (repetitive) beeps, blank screen and no further activity. In reading various forums (those on ifix.com as well), we discovered that the hardware problem could be anything from a thermal paste that needs to be reapplied to possible problems with RAM module. In any case, it's a hardware issue, most likely. unfortunately, her machine was not hooked to a Time Capsule, a mistake we now realized, but it's too late to worry about it now. We went to a local Apple store but they told us that the national repair store will be replacing the whole board, most likely, and will not be taking care of our data.
So, questions: - does anybody know a place where I could send the machine to be inspected first? Perhaps there is an easy fix and no need for the board replacement. - If we do have to go the data recovery route, has anyone done that and how reliable such a process is? Will they actually recover your whole OS or just certain files? Thanks for any ideas, pointers and suggestions.
