Estimated repair time: 3–10 business days depending on liquid type, corrosion severity, and availability of internal replacement components.

Sugary or acidic liquids (coffee with sugar, soda, juice, energy drinks) leave sticky residue under IC chips and around connectors. This accelerates corrosion and increases the risk of long-term logic board failure if the MacBook is not cleaned professionally and quickly.

  • Ultrasonic cleaning of the logic board when required
  • Diagnostics on power, image, charging, keyboard, trackpad and audio

Important Warnings After Water Damage

The first hours after a spill are critical. Moisture trapped inside the compact unibody chassis promotes toxic corrosion across the logic board, under ICs and inside keyboard/trackpad connectors.
  • Do NOT plug in the MagSafe or charger.
  • Do NOT try to turn it on again.
  • Do NOT put it in rice. Rice cannot remove residue or corrosion under chips.
  • Do NOT use a hair dryer or external heat. Heat can warp the board and spread contamination.
  • Bring it in as quickly as possible. Early treatment greatly improves the chance of recovery.
