Continuation,

Once they came, I made sure I was free for the whole day and began disassembling my laptop with help from YouTube and took my time. Once I fully disassembled everything and got to the motherboard, I soaked it in a 95% alcohol bath for a few hours and also used a soft bristly toothbrush to clean it and I let it dry for A WEEK. Yes, you heard me right, dont panic and let it dry for 4-7 days at least to make sure all the components are bone dry!. After that I reassembled my laptop back again and pressed the power button. Amazingly, the famous chime came on and my laptop has been working flawlessly ever since!!, in total it cost me around 15 pounds to fix including some tools I already had from a previous fix. So it is never to late to have a go and you might just save yourself a couple grand!;/

Hi lads,

I own a 2017 MacBook Air 13’, and it was subjected to a full 750ml bottle of plain water spilt on the top right keyboard area while I was using it. I panicked and flipped the laptop upside down and switched it off. I tried switching it on again after drying it for a few days and of course it didnt switch on. I have AppleCare on this laptop and took it to my local Apple store. I was shocked when the Apple genius bar told me it would cost upwards of 2000 pounds to fix it which included a new motherboard and even top case for some reason?!. I went home distraught and proceeded to watch Louis Rossman’s videos on YouTube and doing some research on water damaged MacBooks. Lo and behold, I found tons of videos and articles detailing how to fix it with some ispropyl alcohol and some specialised tools. I spent a full week preparing myself for this daunting task that lie ahead as I anticipated the arrival of my tools.
