Hi, I spilled water on my macbook and now it doesn’t charge. However is does work when plugged in. I took it apart and cleaned everything. I noticed that the water damage indicator on the magsafe port pcb is red. I am wondering will replacing this part help? My guess is if it was broken the motherboard would not receive any power at all. Whereas now it is working from the wall. Thanks for the answer. UPDATE: I was able to take it apart again and clean it with alcohol thoroughly and now it is charging. See screenshot below
The water damaged your logic board and/or the battery its self.
