Thank you nick!!! That post is really helpful... But I still have a doubt.... I have both Mac and windows installed in my macbook pro.... The video plays fine in windows but not in MAC. Similarly chrome!!! After the damage... windows works fine as usual but Mac does not... Is there any reason behind it???
I know that it is confusing...I would find it confusing as well. But if the computer worked 100% fine before the liquid spill...and not 100% fine after the liquid spill...then logically the liquid spill damaged something.
And almost always...liquid spills damage hardware not software. I would say "Always damage hardware only"...but I'm allowing for a 0.00001% chance that some sort of software damage could occur when a liquid spill has occurred. Looking at it from from the other point of view...there's a 99.99999% chance the damage is hardware related.
And I should mention...that in rare cases when a liquid spill has occurred...it is possible that no hardware is damaged. But this is not very common. And in this case...there are no issues at all.
Of course the statistics are not exact
...but you get the idea what I'm trying to say...very very rare that it's not hardware related.
If you wanted to test things further (thinking that it could be a software issue). Boot the computer from an external hard drive with a bootable OS on it. If this works fine...then it should mean that the computers hardware is fine (except for maybe for the internal hard drive).
Maybe try booting from the Recovery Partition as well (command r)...if the computer has OS 10.7 or higher installed. And doing a disk repair.
