MacBook Pro in security mode (shut down)

Hey there !

This may sound like a sad joke but this actually happened to me. You have the right to laugh as loudly as you want as long as you give me some help :-p

Last week my cat was sick, his nose was spilling a fat clear liquid almost everywhere in my house. The problem is that he decided to sleep on my laptop...

Now when the computer boots, the fan is enabled even before I can see the white screen. It starts loading my system and then shuts down. It won't boot again unless I remove the battery connector and put it back in again.

Also when I plug the battery charger in, the led lights up very very weakly so I guess that something's going wrong here too but i'd like to fix the 1st problem 1st :)

I guess that there is some matter on a sensor which leads the computer to turn into security mode. May you help me figuring out whats going on ? As long as it turns on, i suppose that it's only a sensor problem but i don't know where they are located so I can't clean it yet...

Thanks in advance !

Vincent Monteil, first concern is that your cat is okay. Second have you opened up your computer and cleaned the logic board and the DC-In board?

Not yet. Is it OK with 90° alcohol ? Would you please mind giving me links to access those parts ?

Yes, 90%+ isopropyl alcohol will be okay. Here is the link for the DC-in board.Remplacement de la carte de raccordement MagSafe du Macbook Pro 13" Unibody début 2011 Cat ok?

Thanks! I'll give it a try and give you a feedback :)

Put a heating pad in your cats bed, that's probably why he picked it to sleep on. Sounds like he also marked it and shorted out the keyboard.

My unibody macbook 13" late 2008 keyboard was spoiled with water for a while. Result was a failure of a part of the keyboard. After securely drying and cleaning most of the keys started working again except 1 key >> the left shift-key stays permanently in Uppercase mode and isn't working anymore. This failure resulted in booting only in security mode (holding down the shift-key forces a Mac to boot up in security mode!). To bypass this and boot in normal mode I have to hold down the esc-key during start up until apple logo shows up. With KeyRemap utility I have to disable the left-shift key in order eliminate Uppercase. In my case the security boot is a keyboard problem.
