About 2 months ago, my wife spilled a soda on her MBP. We had taken it to a repair shop and they had declared it toast. I have no clue as to how thorough an investigation they did. Since then, I had replaced it with another and it was set aside. Originally intending to sell it for salvage, I decided that I would look at it since I had nothing to lose. I hooked up the charger to it and opened the lid and it powered up. I get a apple logo with a progress bar underneath that takes 2-3 minutes, and it goes to the login page. I see that the top it says 'safe boot'. Track pad seems to work. I click on her name and I get the login box. I start to enter her password and note that as I hit the keys, they are entering the character twice, then I got to the 'y' and it didn't work. Keyboard is obviously messed up. I have watched some u-tube videos of keyboards being cleaned, and although the job looks tedious and somewhat difficult, I feel that I could probably do it. I am thinking that if I hold down a certain key while turning it on, I could get around entering the password and take note of what it is doing and have an idea if after cleaning the keyboard I would find bigger problems. I would appreciate advice from those that are more knowledgable that I. I believe it is OSX 10.8.5.
