So you've accidentally spilled liquid on your MacBook and it has stopped functioning. Switch it off and bring it to our Midwood store so we can have a look at it.
Whether water-damaged MacBooks can be saved depends on how much liquid got in and where it went. We tell you after diagnostics.
We diagnose, clean and repair all affected parts. Any logic board component that has been affected by rust or short-circuiting is repaired or replaced once you approve the price. Also, other power lines like LVDS cables connecting LCD and logic board will be examined and fixed.
The laptop will then be entirely cleaned and each component tested separately for functionality.
You're welcome to use either of these options to access our services.
In case you've accidentally spilled water on your MacBook, make a quick move of turning it off to salvage it.
You might be wondering if it's ok to just clean visible water and dry it then go on with your normal operation.
Well, the risk of not taking your water-damaged MacBook for examination is the growth of molds and rust. The metallic components like connection points and soldered joints of chips will rust. This leads to poor signal transmission, components failure and short-circuiting in case rust builds up links in joints that are designed to be independent.
Therefore, this calls for swift action to save your MacBook. Bring it to us switched off; do not dry it with heat or put it in rice. We carry out professional cleaning to ensure your Mac is meticulously cleaned. The entire process is keenly monitored to ensure complete dryness is achieved.
Finally, all components are tested separately to check that they work.
