Screen blinking after liquid damage

Hi, 3-4 days ago I spilled 1-2 teaspoons juice on my macbook’s right shift key. It was all good until today. I am a student, I planned to go service to make it’s inside clean. However today I opened my mac and I see the screen is blinking. I cannot afford any replacement. There are no other problems except this. Keys works fine, performance is great. But this... Will it be fine after cleaning the corrosion? Or I died? I am really depressed now :(

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

Are you seeing a blinking question mark in a folder icon? If you are the logic board maybe damaged. If thats not what you mean can you take a picture with a digital camera or cellphone to paste it here for us to see Adding images to an existing question

Sorry to say I don't see it in your vid. That could be related to the quality of the recording and the camera used.

I would go to the Apple Store and let them review it. Don't volunteer you spilled a bit of juice.

Sorry for bad quality, but you see the screen it is hard to understand with video, but do you have an idea about it? Can something be burned? I want to believe that if it is burned the problem would not show up after 4-5 days. What do you think about?

I would be speculating with a guess. At this point it really makes no difference. You really want Apple to fix this, trust me! Apple is likely to cover it under an extended warranty program.

A flickering screen could be a failing backlight driver, a damaged cable connection or corrosion damage.

I open my macbook now, and everything is normal. Screen is very good too. I will go service today. I hope that there is no problem for any replacement :/
