Chosen Solution
Hi All, The story started a week ago when my macbook air shutdown unexpectedly at 30% battery in 2 consecutive days. Every time it gives me the battery sign and after connecting the charger it takes several attempts on the power button to turn it on. It didn’t happen again since these 2 times and I took it to apple store, they run some diagnostics and the technician told me that there is nothing wrong with the macbook and he suggested to restore the software as it might be the solution. Then he took the mac to back office and came back to tell me that water sensor has detected water damage on logic board and turned red. He suggested that I keep using it until it dies and then replacing it as it won’t worth fixing it. My question is.. my laptop is working fine, does this water damage can get any worse ? Can it die immediately without any notice even though it is now working perfectly? it happened to me with Dell laptop and after drying it, it worked absolutely fine without any issues. Is it the same with macbooks, or it is much vulnerable than other companies. Thanks, Ahmed
I think you’re trying to rationalize two very different events to have the same end results. There are very different variables at play other than the systems them selves. To do this correctly you would need two systems and then dunk them both into the same water bath at the same time and way to then see what happens ;-} Hint: neither lives very long Lets get back to your problem here… Depending on what was spilled into the system and how much go in you may have some damage which overtime will get worse unless its cleaned up. You see Tap, Rain or pool water have other stuff in them that cause corrosion like minerals and salts. Drinks and foods have other corrosive stuff like acids & sugars as well. I would find someone who is willing to work on a liquid damaged system to go in and clean things up. If you’re up to it you could even do it! The MacBook Air is one of the easier systems to work on.
