I spilled coffee on the back of my Mac in an attempt to get my dogs to stop fighting. I also gave it a pretty good knock in the process.
I did the rice thing and waited a while. Screen came on, but only briefly and started flickering, before going completely black.
The keyboard lights and sound still worked, so today I bought a HDMI converter to plug it into a monitor to see if the whole thing was just fritzed.
It now works with the monitor plugged in, but in it's new position at my desk, I noticed that I can see some life on the laptop screen, just in the circular glow through the apple logo.
Is this a screen issue? A screen power supply issue? Is it worth getting repaired or repairing myself? Or should I just hold out for a new Mac?
Additional info:
Brightness is set to max.
It's a MacBook Air 2015.
No Apple Care.
Any advice appreciated, thanks!
Edit: I fortunately didn't get any coffee on the dogs.
Thanks, that makes sense. After watching a YouTube video, I reckon I could probably do it myself with a bit of patience. I'll give it a shot when I'm feeling brave enough.
