I have spilled juice to my laptop and at first I think it was all fine. But when I took it to the repair center they said that I need a motherboard replacement because of that. I still use the laptop now and it's still perfectly fine working. When do you guys think that my laptop will go dumb?? Is it still going to be okay or what's the effect to this??

If your laptop is working, from a repair person perspective, you shouldn't have anything to worry about. If it didn't short out already when the liquid hit it, then it shouldn't because the substance would have dried already. The only problems that you might encounter are sticky keys on your keyboard.

I wouldn't replace the motherboard until it stops working, personally.
Did the juice spill on the keyboard?
I personally go with the .. if it ain't broke, don't fix it philosophy. If the motherboard starts going, you'll notice.
Then again... I'm really not sure how corrosive juice is. If you could open up the laptop and clean things as well as possible, that might help...
On most laptops, all of the components (video card, sound card, etc.) are built into the motherboard. However, there's the hard drive to worry about, and some power connections, and fans as well.

Normally juice spill causes damages to motherboard, but if it is working don't worry very much, it is a very good chance the juice didn't damage any vital parts of the laptop, replacement is very expensive sometimes it is worthy to buy an another system then replacement of the motherboard.

Most notebooks have spill holes. If the notebook works fine you should be ok. At the most you would need a keyboard, not a mainboard replacement. Slap the guys at the service center.

I've spilt numerous things on my laptop and its always recovered! And I'm famous for dropping tv remotes into water...lol If it was going to be a problem, the laptop would have stopped working soon after it was spilt. It shouldn't be a problem.

When I took my laptop they just charge me $140 and they don't fixed. If is working don't pay extra money. They are ripoff.
