I'm sitting in my living room and I suddenly hear that lovely startup chord.
I'm thinking that its the ghost of the laptop coming back to haunt my house, but no, the laptop is turning itself on by itself. Heck, its even closed and turning itself on.
So, I just up and open the laptop and it turns itself on and is WORKING!!!
Its been on for 2 hours now and entirely stable. It even smells great, like roasting coffee.
Kill my wife, not over a computer, even and Apple.
Divorce, maybe.....nah!
Buy her a PowerBook, nope, I'd rather buy her a disposable Intel based laptop running Linux that way if she baths the laptop in coffee again it will only be a dead Intel laptop instead of an Apple.
I had a hailstorm rip through my roof here in Sydney and rain all over an open powerbook. Put it in the oven at 50C for a few hours and started it up. Been working great ever since - ca.4 years, maybe more - 3400 powerbook. Just went to a niece - still working perfectly.
The laptop seems to be running just fine. I ran it for ~10 hours this weekend without any issues. What a wonderful piece of hardware. The only "downside" is that the roasting coffee smell has gone away.

You might want to give it a shot.
