LIQUID DAMAGE MACBOOK REPAIR
FOR
What are some of the most common incidents:
Water bottle opened in a bag
coffee or other liquid spilled on the keyboard
Liquid on the table or from the back of your MacBook
Humidity damage
Corrosion
What should I do if I spill liquid on my MacBook?
1) If your device still turns on:
If you have VERY information on the computer, back up your important files as soon as possible and then:
A) TURN IT OFF
B) Disconnect the battery if possible
C) If you cannot access the battery then just make sure you do not turn it back on until your MacBook is diagnosed/fully fixed.
D) Bring it in for a Free Diagnostics/assessment or UltraSonic Cleaning if the MacBook is fully working.
As liquid dries out, it turns in to corrosion and corrosion is more conductive and it can also grow and cause more and more issues for the computer. Unfortunately there is a lot of misinformation on the Internet and a lot of users attempt to turn the computer back on after a few days of drying it out. Remember that liquid does not disappear, when it dries, it turns in to corrosion and is far more conductive. This would change the behaviour of the computer and its like throwing a bunch of conductive metals or wires around a circuit board. Then a 5 volt or 12 volt or 20 volt shorts to ground and fries up components on those probes.
2) If your device DOES NOT TURN ON or has issues:
A) Book an appointment for a free diagnostics as soon as possible. Liquid damage is time sensitive. The sooner we get to repair it, the better chances of success.
B) DO NOT put the device in rice.
Unfortunately there is a lot of misinformation online and some devices that come here have rice in them. Rice would get stuck to components on the board and cause more damage. In many cases we have seen rice getting inside the parts through the gaps and break more parts than liquid damage had caused damage on. In some cases we have seen broken screens because of rice getting in between the screen and hinges and etc… Avoid rice. Please remember that the best course of action is getting the computer checked as soon as possible.
