MBA5 display issue after 1 month — service center says “liquid damage” even though there was no accident. Does this come under warranty?

Bought an MBA5 around 2 months ago, and within the first month the display suddenly stopped working properly.

I never dropped it, no cracks, no dents, no physical damage, and no water exposure at all. It’s been handled very carefully since day one.

Took it to the service center and they’re saying it has “liquid damage,” so they may not cover it under warranty.

I’m confused because: • there are no visible signs of damage • the issue happened extremely early • the device was used completely normally

Has anyone faced something similar before?

Can service centers detect false liquid damage? And if there’s no external damage or accident involved, is there still a chance this gets covered under warranty?

Would really appreciate advice from anyone who’s dealt with this.
