Hi I unfortunately spilt a glass of water over my MacBook. It’s 7 years old but I’d rather not replace it. I dried it out for a few days, still dead. I then replaced the battery and the charger. It charged, worked wonderfully but the charger seemed a bit hit and miss as to whether the light came on or not. I now can’t get it to charge. I’ve cleaned the charging port but no joy. What should I try next? I wonder if I should try replacing the charging port? when I look inside, there appears to be no visible liquid damage. thanks jon
The fact that you don’t see liquid damage is not very meaningful unless you remove the logic board and the I/O board. If water was spilled on the keyboard, damage will first hit the side you don’t see. Turning it on before a very thorough cleaning takes place, increases the odds to damage irreversibly the Mac. Here’s what it should be done in case of liquid damage..the sooner the better and then reassess the behavior: MacBook water damage - The definitive guide
