Mac won't charge after water spill

Last week I was doing homework and spilled half a glass of water all over my laptop keyboard after spending $500 to fix the logic board just the week before..ahhh. I dried it off but I didn't turn it off right away and about 10 minutes later it just completely shut down. So I laid it open and upside down on a crate with a towel on it and a fan blowing under it and let it dry out for a whole week. I wasn't expecting it to work but when I tried to turn it and started up as nothing had happened! I was so happy everything worked totally fine! Well I went to charge it and the light didn't come on but then the charging box filled in with the little charging symbol and I thought it would be fine...not so much... it's at 46% and is just staying there with the power adapter. But it isn't charging at all...its just staying the same and goes down if I unplug it. Does anyone know what I need to do? I'm a college student and can't just have the adaptor plugged in 24/7. Is there something I can do or something that can easily be repaired?

Hello, jgf2018!

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities, it's great to have you here. I understand that you're seeing some effects of possible water damage on that MacBook and I'm glad to give you some more info.

Whenever you're seeing liquid damage, the best thing to do is have your MacBook inspected in person for a potential hardware repair. They'll be able to take a look and see exactly what needs to be fixed in order to get your device back up and running. You can see your local options for service right here: Mac Service and Repair .

For more info, be sure to contact Apple for support and service and speak to someone about your options for local service which do vary from region to region.

I hope you find this helpful.

Best regards.
