Can a MacBook Air survive water damage?
It can, but it's not built to be water-resistant. Nevertheless, the effect may vary depending on the amount of spillage and affected parts; we tell you after diagnostics.
We all understand how water spillage on your laptop can run a shock on your body as you make haste moves to dry it as fast as you can. In case you've accidentally spilled water on your MacBook Air, don't be scared. Switch it off and bring it to our Midwood store.
Whether it can be saved depends on how much liquid got in and where it went. We tell you after diagnostics.
Correcting this kind of fault requires intensive inspection and thorough cleaning of all affected components. This we can achieve through a keen examination, cleaning and testing.
You can bring your MacBook Air to us in either of these ways.
Accidents do happen and you may find yourself in a situation where you spill water on your Mac or maybe your cat just knocked your water glass while trying to be friendly. Whatever the cause, water damage is hurting and you need a quick remedy to salvage your laptop.
If the worst happens, follow these instructions.

If you observe any abnormality, you can bring it to our Midwood store for a check.
After you've arrived at our store, we'll carefully examine your laptop to identify the affected parts. Often water makes its way to the logic board and other high charge cables like the LCD logic board connector. We'll do a keen and special cleaning to ensure all water and rust are eliminated. We'll clean each component to ensure no liquid droplets or rust is missed. At last, each component is tested separately to ensure it works. If a part cannot be saved, we quote its replacement before we fit it.
We'll then hand your MacBook Air back to you.
Liquid damage is different on every laptop, so the repair is quoted after diagnostics, not before. For other faults, see our MacBook Air repair page.
