Hi guys,

I have a 2017 MBP that's recently started giving me the USB devices disabled notification for ports on the right side of my laptop. For context, I recently inserted a wet charging cable into both ports a bunch of times before realising it was wet from the tip. At the time, the mac wouldn't turn back on until i hung the wire out to dry. The laptop charged afterwards, and everything's been fine since except this notification. I suspect they may be linked. Any advice as to what I should do? If this could, potentially, escalate into a bigger problem, is there anything I can do preemptively?Despite the notification, any device that is plugged continues to charge/remain connected etc. This includes my iphone.

Thanks in advance.
