Hi,

like most have already said....

you need to strip that Air asap, liquid spills no matter how small need to be investigated properly.

you need to remove all the components, especially the logic board and clean it with lots of isopropyl alcohol using a soft toothbrush or similar, do not use force let the liquid do the work... just slow gentle movements across the front and back of the logic board...

usually with spills the first things that are affected are the keyboard, trackpad. in Air's i have fixed recently i have changed the keyboard and trackpad due to either not working at all or some keys not recognizing being pressed. or visible corrosion...

you need to do this as soon as the spill has happened, do not power it on until you have thoroughly cleaned it...

good luck, hope it works out for you... time is of the essence...

Ian
