    Touch Bar water damage

    Hi, I accidentally spilled water on the left side of my Macbook Pro 2017 Touch Bar. I put it in rice for 24 hours, and just now turned it on. Everything but the touch bar now seems to be working - there is just no light coming from it. Any suggestions on how to fix it? Thanks
