Hey everyone! So, I had a bit of a mishap with my water bottle and it spilled all over my backpack, unfortunately soaking my MacBook. Luckily, the Mac seems to be working fine, but the screen is a bit shiny, as if there's still some water on it. I'm worried about how to fix this situation. Will I have to survive on instant noodles for a month to afford repairs? I'm a student looking for any help you can share! Thanks!

Wait, did you turn it on right away after the spill? That’s not a good idea! You really should let it sit completely shut down for at least 24 to 48 hours. That’ll give it a better chance to dry out and hopefully clear up the screen issue.
Depending on what you use your Mac for, it could be worth checking out some affordable options instead, like a second-hand HP ProBook. You can often find decent models on eBay for around £100, which could save you a good bit of cash!
First things first, turn off your MacBook and let it dry completely for at least 24 hours. Do NOT just put it to sleep, make sure to shut it down properly. If you notice the issue sticking around after that, you might need to consider a professional repair.
Try placing your Mac in a sunny spot for a couple of days. It might help with the drying process. If it continues to work, you could just use it as it is.
