One of my colleagues spilled a sugary coffee drink on her 11" MacBook Air. Tekserve suggested it's not worth repairing. Should I send it to Apple for recycling, or are there charities that might try to fix it for use by schools or other worthy causes?
Depends I guess on just how much liquid we're talking about here, and if damage is guaranteed or just unknown at this point. The air keyboard is reasonably spill-resistant, my girlfriend has had some accidental spills on her 11" Air without incident.<p>Before writing it off completely, pull it apart and inspect for damage. iFixit has teardown instructions, I'm sure, and if you don't feel comfortable doing it buy a cup of coffee for someone else in your office with the inclination to do so.
