Water spilled on my MacBook Air

[wiineeth]

Guys this new year unfortunately water got spilled on my macbook air it worked for 3 min and then suddenly one side of the display got damaged and its looking like the image attached. Can anyone explain what happened or ways to resolve it or at least how much would it cost for me to get it fixed.

If you spilled water on it, you should have shut it down ASAP, by using it you probably shorted out the logic board which is what you're seeing.

There's not much you can do, dry it out, and then hope for the best.

Most likely you will need a new logic board. just take it to Apple and let them see what is wrong and how much to fix,

Excellent advise so far.
I might add getting insurance next time.

There's so many threads about this phenomenon recently, that I am really not understanding how incredibly lax people are getting with the handling of their equipment. WATER and ELECTRONICS don't mix

And Mister Meister, I don't think insurance covers doing stupid things. The real answer here is use your head and practice safe handling procedures.
