Which inconsistency is considered liquid damage?

Liquid damage is typically identified by changes in the device's behavior or appearance that are associated with exposure to moisture or liquid. A change in LCD color is a common indication of liquid damage; this can manifest as discoloration, distortion, or vertical and horizontal lines appearing on the display. This occurs because liquid can interfere with the delicate components of the LCD, leading to issues with color representation and overall functionality.

Other options, such as hairline cracks, display enclosure dents, and multiple cracks, do not specifically point to liquid exposure. While physical damage can result from drops or impacts, it does not suggest that liquid has penetrated the device and caused internal damage, as a color change in the LCD panel would. Therefore, the change in LCD color is a clear indicator of liquid damage affecting the internal components.
