A few weeks ago, I spilled gatorade on a new macbook. We sent to irescue, and they turned it on and told us it was junked. I asked for it to be shipped back so I could salvage the RAM. Instead, I cleaned everything with distilled water, put it back together and it started up. I've only been using it for a couple hours since then, and it was working perfectly. The only minor default was the screen had little white blotches on it.
This morning, I closed the lid to let it sleep, and when I came back, it was shut off. I tried to start it up again, but all that happened was:
1) A flash of light appeared on the screen
2) the sleep light turned on, so it's automatically sleeping when it turns on
Nothing else happened. No sound, nothing. After I put the power supply in though, it stays green for a couple of seconds, then goes red. I'm sure the power supply isn't the problem, because I had charged it overnight, and had an about 88% charge when it turned off.
I have heard of the PMU restart thingy, but I'm just scared because it had been damaged by gatorade before (but not fried).
What should I do?????

I think it was a fluke that it worked again...did you try restarting the computer (that should be obvious)? If not there may still be some liquid in the internal components, so I'd say wait a few days and try again.
Macbook won't start!
