Hello guys! :)

So I spilled a splash (not the whole cup!) of dark tea on my Macbook keyboard. Afterwards it worked fine and nothing really happened, it didn't shut off or anything. Then I realised that some of the keys were sticky, so I popped them off and cleaned them with alcohol, and now they work like a charm. But last night, I found out that the right side of my keyboard's light is WAY weaker than the left side! :mad: And i can't remember if the lacking of light was there before the spill, and i just haven't noticed it (I litterally never use the backlit keyboard) or if the sugar from the tea has destroyed something behind the keyboard? If so, I'm afraid that the sugar will destroy the computer even further! - But I've heard that resetting SMC (don't really know what that is..) will maybe fix the backlit keyboard problem?

I will appreciate any kind of help and tips! :)
