Professional Water Damage Service for MacBook Pro 14" (A2993)

Estimated repair time: 3–10 business days, depending on the severity of the spill and the stock availability of internal parts such as the keyboard, trackpad, battery, and any required board components.

Liquids like plain water, coffee, soda, energy drinks, or fruit juices behave differently inside the MacBook. Sugary and sticky liquids can leave residue under IC chips and around connectors, greatly increasing the risk of long-term corrosion and short circuits if the board is not cleaned professionally and on time.

  • Full internal disassembly of the A2993 chassis
  • Cleaning of visible liquid, residue, and early corrosion
  • Ultrasonic cleaning of the logic board when required
  • Diagnostics on power, charging, image, and keyboard/trackpad circuits
  • Replacement of damaged parts (keyboard, trackpad, battery, flex cables, etc.) when economical
  • Data-focused repair approach to protect your work and personal files

Important Warnings After Water Damage

Right after a spill, every minute matters. Waiting too long allows corrosion and chemical reactions on the logic board to spread and become much harder – or sometimes impossible – to reverse.
  • Do NOT plug the MacBook into the charger. Powering a wet board can cause instant, permanent short circuits.
  • Do NOT keep trying to turn it on. Repeated attempts force current through already damaged areas and worsen the situation.
  • Do NOT put it in rice. Rice cannot remove corrosion, sugar, or sticky residues inside the device.
  • Do NOT use a hair dryer or direct heat. Excess heat can warp the board and push contaminants further under chips.
  • Bring it in as soon as possible. Fast, professional cleaning strongly increases the chance of a successful repair.
