Taking these immediate steps can significantly increase the chances of minimizing damage and successful repair. Corrosion keeps spreading after the laptop looks dry.
Do
- Power Off: Immediately turn off your MacBook Pro to prevent potential electrical shorts and further damage.
- Disconnect from Power: Unplug any connected power sources and remove peripherals.
- Invert and Drain: Tilt your MacBook Pro to let excess liquid drain out. Avoid shaking the device.
- Dry with Towel: Gently pat the exterior with a dry towel to absorb surface moisture.
- Seek Professional Help: Bring your MacBook Pro to our store for a thorough inspection and water damage repair.
Don’t
- Don’t charge it: don’t plug it in or switch it on to test it.
- Don’t use rice: it doesn’t reach liquid under the logic board.
- Avoid Heat Sources: Refrain from using hair dryers or heat sources, as excessive heat can cause additional damage.
- Don’t wait for it to dry: the sooner a technician opens it, the more there is to save.
Common Signs Your MacBook Pro Has Water Damage

MacBook Pro Water Damage Repair Cost
We believe in transparent pricing and providing our clients with a clear understanding of what to expect. There is no flat price for a water-damaged MacBook Pro: it depends on how far the corrosion has spread and which boards the liquid reached. So the repair starts with a $99 diagnostic, paid upfront, and you get a quote before any work begins.
Here are some factors that influence the MacBook Pro Water Damage Repair Cost:
Severity of Damage
The extent of water damage to internal components and circuitry will impact the overall repair cost.
Component Replacement
If specific internal parts need to be replaced due to water damage, the cost may vary based on the components affected. When the liquid reached the main board, this becomes logic board repair.
Data Recovery
If data recovery is required, it may add to the overall repair cost. We prioritize salvaging important files whenever possible. See data recovery.
