Liquid in macbook screen

In the morning i decided to clean my macbook screen so i got a spray (a glass cleaner since it seems to work well)

and i decided to spray it on and then go and get a cloth from another floor - i think this is where the issue is - by the time i came back the spray was down to the bottom of the notch under my screen which i ignored and i wiped it.

long story short - i played on it for about 2 hours ish after that with nothing wrong then randomly my macbook turns to a blank screen with lines and when i shut it down and turn it on again it shows a grey screen - sometimes with lines, flickering between lines and grey screen, when i tried trouble shooting (i thought it was a software glitch at first) the screen would sometimes work for a few minutes with some flickering lines if i didnt move my mac loads.


note: i checked everything including disk utility - it seems to not be a software glitch


i need a fix soon, thanks!

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 14.4

Hi.


It seems like the reason why your Mac has an issue was solved, but fixing the Mac was not solved.


Going to Apple is actually the best, trusted, and the recommended way to fix your Mac.


If you don't want to pay for the repair and services, try checking the coverage of your Mac.


Most of the Apple devices are shipped with 1 year free coverage, which means they will fix your Mac for free in 1 year you bought your Mac. So when did you buy it?


You could also just simply check your Mac's coverage by going to System Settings, "General", and "AppleCare and Warranty". Then select your device.


For more information about Apple's coverage, check out the websites below:

  1. AppleCare Products - Apple (Check your Apple Device's coverage)
  2. Check Your Service and Support Coverage - Apple Support (More information regarding to Apple's repair services)


Thanks
