Chosen Solution
I have spilled some tea on my Mac yesterday, I turned if off immediately, let it dry for more than 24 hours,but still I cannot turn it on： Power light does not flash when charging. When charging, the cable connect port is showing very glimmer green light, more like dark green. Any idea on what damage it might be? Is it because the water has shorted my motherboard so I cannot turn it on? When my motherboard has dry out, is there a chance of recovery without replacing it? Will appreciate any advice, thanks a lot.
Hi! This is the chosen solution on a question with a very similar problem. “I’d start with following the steps to What should I do after I spill liquid on my device?. Since it’s not working tearing it down until the motherboard is easily accessible and pulling the DC-in board and going over it for damage would be a good first step after the rest of the machine is dry. Once the RAM is dry and checked, and the battery is charged, & the DC-in board replaced you could try a boot (don’t screw down the top case-just assemble enough to test). Depending upon what happens you may want/need to run your AHT (Apple Hardware Test) disk to see what else is/may be damaged. Worst case - sell it as is, or part it out to recoup some of your loss.”
