Error 8. Reformatted. Says 30 GB available?

[MegaByte]

Water was splashed on my MacBook from the screen side. So water did Not hit the keyboard. Water might have gotten in thru the fans.
So I turned it off, and hung it upside down, for a week.

I turned it on, it seemed to have reinstalled the OS. The icons in the Dock were different, Mail had to be reconfigured and download my mail, etc.

THEN it started freezing. I ran Disk Utility, it gave Error Exit Code 8. I ran Disk Utility in Recovery mode and Single User Mode; I Still got Error 8.

I copied off my files. And reformatted. But it says out of 250 GB only 30 GB are available???

Why? What is wrong? What can I do?

BTW I have Not reinstalled the OS.


I have a MacBook Pro Late 2013.

Water is just bad with electronics. Not sure what all got damaged along the way. With phones, people tend to put it into rice to dry things out.

Your MBP is totally out of warranty, so I'd go ahead and use the videos on iFixit and open up the case to inspect what the damage is.

Your machine is 10 years old, so your best is likely an upgrade to a new machine now.

@MegaByte,

Not wishing to add to your grief, but may I ask: have you got good, recent backup(s) of your Mac?

It's crucial if, as seems likely, you end up with a new (or at least different) Mac
