Estimated repair time: 3–10 business days depending on liquid type, severity of corrosion, and availability of internal replacement parts such as the keyboard, trackpad, battery or logic board components.

Sticky or sugary liquids (coffee with sugar, soda, juice) leave residue under IC chips and connectors, accelerating corrosion and increasing long-term damage risk. Fast professional treatment is critical.

  • Complete internal disassembly of the A2442 MacBook
  • Removal of visible liquid, residue and corrosion
  • Ultrasonic cleaning of the logic board when required
  • Diagnostics on power, image, charging, and input circuits

Important Warnings After Water Damage

The first hours matter the most. Corrosion can spread quickly across the board and cause toxic chemical reactions under chips if left untreated.
  • Do NOT plug in the charger. Powering a wet logic board causes instant damage.
  • Do NOT attempt to turn it on again. Electrical current worsens shorts and corrosion.
  • Do NOT put it in rice. Rice cannot remove liquid from under chips or clean corrosion.
  • Do NOT use a hair dryer. Heat spreads residue and can warp components.
  • Bring it in immediately. Early cleaning greatly improves repair success.

  • Boot looping or random shutdowns
