You are speaking with the injun-year, Chris Glur.

Because your water spill damaged the motherboard, and now some subset
of components are operating just slightly outside of their engineered
margins.  When digital circuits operate just slightly outside of their
engineered margins, the result is exactly what you see.  Sometimes they
work, sometimes they don't, for seemingly random occurrences.

Your *only* fix is to replace the motherboard that *you damaged* with a
new, undamaged, motherboard.  And then to keep yourself far away from
it because you have admitted that you can not be trusted to protect
your things from damage by your own actions.
