Please Diagnose MacBook Power Issue

[Cobraz41]

So I spilled some water on table next to my 2014 MacBook Air. I noticed some had contacted it, so I wiped it off and went about my business not thinking it had caused any issue. Later that day I was using it and noticed battery would not charge. Days went on with no change. The battery eventually died and it would not power up. I eventually took the battery out and got it to power up and work without the battery connected. So here are the particulars:

MagSafe Adapter light does not come on and battery will not charge

Does not power up with battery connected

Computer works fine when powered up


Could it be as simple as battery was ruined and I need a replacement or am I looking at a bigger problem?

Any help would be appreciated. Thank You.

-Try a different MagSafe charger, and check contacts on both sides for damage.

-Diagnose at Apple is probably your best bet.

-If water permeation happened at MagSafe connector it may have fried the board. If you look at the area of potential water damage with a magnifier it may be readily apparent.

-Best scenario is no damage to board and battery just went to short or open at the same time of potential water damage(Very unlikely).

I tried another charger with no luck. Why would computer operate with the MagSafe connected? Would that not mean there was power going through that port? I'm also confused as to why the computer works without the battery attached, but will not power up with it.
