Macbook Pro Mid-2010 15" is not charging with dim green light

Hi all,


I have spilled a bit of water on the keyboard of my Macbook Pro this Monday. It continued working just fine.

So, I took it home, and 2h later, when I pluged the charger in, the light turned into a very faint/dim green light and it was not charging anymore. It does not consumes battery power, because it's plugged in the outlet, but it does not charge either (says "not charging").


I have tried the following:


  • Plugging it in to a different outlet
  • Trying other MagSafe chargers
  • Making sure it's the correct charger (85w)
  • Resetting SMC
  • Resetting NVRAM


I have opened the back, and although I could not dismount it anymore because the lack of appropriate screwdrivers, I could find no sign of humidity or water damage.


Checking the system information page in the MacOS, I could notice that, when the charger is plugged, amperage information gradually progresses from ~ -2000 to 0.


And it does not seem to recognize the charger. See below:


AC Charger Information:

Connected: Yes

ID: 0x0000

Wattage (W): 0

Revision: 0x0000

Family: 0x0000

Serial Number: 0x00000000

Charging: No


Do you guys have any other suggestions?
