Apple MacBook Water Damage Repair

Liquid damage is one of the most common and potentially devastating issues that can affect Mac devices. Whether it’s spilled water, a splash of coffee, or an accidental immersion, liquid damage can cause significant problems for your MacBook Pro, Macbook Air, iMac, or any other Apple devices. At our Mac workshop, we specialize in diagnosing and repairing water damaged devices to ensure your device is back to optimal performance as quickly as possible.

Understanding Liquid Damage

When liquid comes into contact with the internal components of a Mac, it can cause short circuits, corrosion, and other forms of damage. The severity of the damage depends on several factors, including the type of liquid, the amount of liquid, and how quickly the device is powered off and dried. If your MacBook has stopped working after a spill, we can help.

Common symptoms of liquid damage include

• Device not turning on
• Display issues
• Battery not charging
• Non-functioning keys or trackpad
• Unexpected shutdowns or restarts

Immediate Steps to Take

If you spill liquid on your Mac, it’s crucial to act quickly to minimize damage. Here are the steps you should take immediately:

1. Power Off: Turn off your device immediately by holding down the power button to prevent short circuits.
2. Unplug: Disconnect any power sources and peripherals.
3. Dry: Wipe off any visible liquid and place the device in a dry, ventilated area.
4. Do Not Turn On: Avoid turning on the device until it has been thoroughly inspected and repaired.

Our Repair Process

At our Retro Tech Ltd, we follow a comprehensive repair process to diagnose and fix water damaged devices.

• Initial Assessment: We start with a thorough assessment of the device to determine the extent of the damage. This includes checking for visible signs of corrosion, testing the functionality of various components, and identifying any short circuits.
• Component-Level Repair: Unlike many repair services that replace entire boards, we specialize in component-level repairs. 
• Ultrasonic Cleaning: We use ultrasonic cleaning to remove corrosion and contaminants from the logic board and other components
• Testing and Quality Control: After repairs and cleaning, we rigorously test the device to ensure all issues have been resolved. This includes running diagnostic tests, checking for proper functionality, and ensuring the device operates as expected.
• Final Inspection: Before returning the device to you, we perform a final inspection to ensure everything is in perfect working order. We also provide a detailed report of the repairs performed and any recommendations for future care.

Common Repairs

Some of the most common repairs we perform for liquid-damaged Macs include:

• Logic Board Repair: Fixing short circuits, replacing damaged components, and restoring functionality to the logic board.
• Keyboard and Trackpad Replacement: Replacing non-functioning keys and trackpads that have been damaged by liquid.
