Battery + keyboard won't work after teardown
Hello,
I spilled just a bit of liquid on the side of my macbbok.
Some keys on the right of the keyboard wasn't working.
My brother and his buddy's always fixed stuff, so he claimed he could fixed it just cleaning the keyboard.
He teared it down, clean the upper case with dry air and some screen cleaner and put it back together.
Now, the computer start so I havn't killed him, but the keyboard doesn't work at all and the battery won't charge :(.
The battery was charging before.
He tried to place the keyboard ribbon again and it say it is in the right position or the Mac wouldn't start.
True ?
SO ... do I kill him anyway (or at tleast make him pay for some stuff).
What can I do ?
It is worse than before ... I don't really want him to touch it again unless somebody on this site with the knowledge tell me what to do ?
I miss my mac ....
help, many thanks,
Allie.

Just—whatever you do, don't kill your brother. We don't want a post on iFixit titled "I'm stuck in jail for homicide. How do I get out?" Haha. jk :)

Before you give up on it please try this ifixit cleanup guide first. You would be surprised at how units can be brought back from the dead at times. If it fails all it cost you is a little time. Good luck.

Thanks a lot for your answers !!!
Me and my brother, that is dealing with that, went to a shop.
The person there said he can fix it for 250$ changing the keyboard case. Will it fix also the problem from the battery not charging ? I don't know ... Guess I will try that.
Anyway, again, thanks for your answers.
