Water damaged MacBook rescue and repair in Prague
Quick answer: A liquid spill on a MacBook is serious but often fixable. Power it off immediately by holding the power button, unplug the charger and do not charge it. Board cleaning after liquid contact starts at 1,490 CZK and diagnostics are free. The sooner we open and clean the board, the less damage corrosion does. We are at Jaromírova 576/34, Prague 2.
What to do right away
Shut the MacBook down at once by holding the power button and unplug the adapter. Do not charge it or switch it on; power spreads corrosion across the board. Stand it in a tent shape with the screen and keyboard facing down so liquid does not run deeper, and bring it in quickly. Sugary and salty liquids corrode especially fast.
How the rescue works
We start with free diagnostics and disassemble the board. We clean it under a microscope and in an ultrasonic bath, remove corrosion and measure the power circuits. Depending on what we find we repair or replace the damaged components. Board-level liquid repair is a job of several days, not same-day. We give a 3-month warranty on a board repair. Prices are in the MacBook repair price list.
