Professional Water Damage Service for MacBook Pro 16" (A2991)

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

Liquids like coffee, soda, energy drinks and juice leave sugary and acidic residue under IC chips and around connectors. This accelerates corrosion and increases the risk of long-term board failure if the MacBook is not cleaned professionally and in time.

  • Full internal disassembly of the A2991 MacBook Pro 16"
  • Removal of liquid, sticky residue and visible corrosion
  • Ultrasonic cleaning of the logic board when necessary
  • Diagnostics on power, image, charging and input circuits
  • Replacement of damaged components where economically reasonable
  • Data-focused repair strategy to help protect your important files

Important Warnings After Water Damage

The first hours after a spill are critical. Leaving the MacBook with moisture inside allows “toxic” corrosion to spread over the logic board, connectors and under chips, making the damage more severe and harder to reverse.
  • Do NOT plug in the charger. Applying power to a wet board can cause instant, permanent shorts.
  • Do NOT keep trying to turn it on. Each attempt forces current through already compromised circuits.
  • Do NOT put it in rice. Rice cannot remove sticky residue or corrosion under ICs.
  • Do NOT use a hair dryer or direct heat. Heat can warp the board and push contaminants further inside.
  • Bring it in as soon as possible. Fast professional treatment significantly increases repair success.
