Help! Please. Macbook pro 13 (2010) battery not charging due to water damage

I accidently spilled some water on my macbook pro 13 (2010) that I bought a few months ago. Fortunately, the computer still works fine. The only thing wrong with it is that the battery will not charge anymore. I took the battery out and everything is working fine for the moment. As you guys all know, apple warranty does not cover water damaged systems. I need my computer for school and I am on the move a lot. That being said, is there something I can do to make only my battery is broken? If it is only the battery, where and how can I replace the battery?

Thank you so much your help.
It will be much appreciated!!

 

You might want to take a look at ifixit.com and look for the tutorial of taking part off macbook pro's.
For battery, I believe you will need to buy a new battery just to make sure if the water only damaged the battery itself OR the battery connector has been damaged as well ( I personally doubt that).

If you could find a friend who owns the same model macbook pro as you do. you can just ask him to switch the battery with you just to see if yours macbook pro has a battery connector that still functions.

 

agreed, see if you can swap a battery with someone for a little bit. now the bad news .... I find over 50% of the time a non charging battery in a MBP from water, wine, pop or coffee ends up being the charge circuit on the motherboard being killed. so try not to invest in a battery until you know.

now the water .... where abouts on your laptop did it get in ... the front of they keyboard or the back of the machine and which side?

 

Thank you for your help. How do I know if anything else is broken besides the battery? I dont think I will be able to get another battery to test it out unless I buy a new one. Is there a way to see if anything else is broken? (like a program or anything) How much would it cost if I took it to the apple store to repair?

The water was over the keyboard part. But mainly the bottom part of the computer. I am not really sure because I immediately grab my computer after I realized what happened.

Crazycanuk, you had said that charge circuit on the motherboard being killed, is it possible to repair this myself or buy the part to this? How can I confirm that this is the problem? The computer runs fine as of right now with the battery taken out. I am not sure what that means because I am a complete noob with opening up a computer so I am freaking out -__-.

 

charging is not controlled by software so it is battery or hardware, as for repairing the charge circuit ..... not likely I have been sucessfull a handful of times but have proper equipment and do board level repairs alot. 95% of the time if it is the charge circuit it involves an entire mainboard replacement.
