I'd give taking it apart a go, I take lappy apart all the time at work, you get used to it after a while
Look for disassembly instructions on-line, if Mac don't release them themselves then there's bound to be a YouTube vid or something
NB - taking it apart could invalidate you warranty but then spilling coffee on the thing has probably invalidated it already - check the terms - did you pay extra for accidental cover?
If it was a PC I'd say that worse case, provided the coffee wasn't in the vicinity of the HD, you could at least yank that out, stick it on an external caddy and take off any files you want to keep, never tried that with a MAC though, obviously the file system is different to PCs so you'd a least need another MAC to plug it into - were there any precious files on it?
