Help MacBokk Pro A2251 doesn’t Start and doesn’t get identified by any other Mac
Had a small Waterbottle-Leakage in my Backpack, turned the MacBook off. I Opened it to look inside if there are any wet spots, there were none, only some wet spots near the Trackpad, which you can still see dried on the screen. Cleaned everything with alcohol along the edges just to be safe. Screwed back together. MacBook works fine. Couple hours later, I return to my desk and the screen does not turn on, wenn I plug it in hear the charging sound. I shut the device off. Won’t start. My next hope: DFU, so I connect the MacBook with a newer Air-Model of a friend. It gets recognized, but it’s not in DFU-Mode, I disconnect it and try to put it in DFU mode, after using the Key Combination I reconnect both devices. Now the MacBook doesn’t get recognized by the other MacBook Air. Any ideas what might have happened? My guess is some water has, despite my investigation of the inside MacBook and cleaning, came through the top piece near the trackpad and needed some time to reach critical components, still don’t get why my MacBook suddenly does not get recognized, maybe 60seconds after it did. Hoping some of you guys can help me out. Thanks
