Macbooks + Wine is a recipe for disaster. And that’s what happened to this one when got spilled with wine and needed a Macbook Air Repair in Adelaide. A full glass of wine landed straight over the keyboard and splashed towards the screen.
We did not even turn it on, as every minute counts when the whole Macbook is rinsed with liquid. So the first thing we did was to disconnect the battery to prevent more electricity from circulating within.
Extend of the damage was apparent. And we had to clean and repair this Macbook Air quick.

So we strip it apart and start measuring and poking around. After this much liquid damage on the Macbook board, we would have corroded traces or chips. So we turned on our microscope and start replacing corroded components and recreate traces.
We dig into the problem head-on – the keyboard. We had to replace it, so we start removing the failed keyboard out of the case,
After replacing faulty components we went and cleaned the whole logic board with an ultrasonic cleaner.
Once the keyboard is removed, we could install the new keyboard on this Macbook.

Repaired, not Replaced!
We are committed to reducing e-waste in Australia. How we do it is by educating our customers on the reparability and longevity of their devices, as well as providing affordable Macbook Repairs here in Adelaide.
Although our best intentions and hard work, this is not an easy task. Customers must accept that cost of high-quality electronic repairs, is between a third and half of the price of a new device. However, with the current trend of planned obsolescence in electronic design, we see more and more Macbooks having shorter lifespans. To tackle that, while we do our repairs we target common planned obsolescence engineering design mistakes to ensure we extend the life expectancy of the Macbooks we repair. Check some of our Macbook Repair Cases to get an idea of the process.
That said, if we buy a new one or write it off via insurance, it does not guarantee that the new one will not meet the same fate as the older one pretty soon.
As matter of fact, quite often we see accidents reoccurring within less than 2-year gaps. If we can save 2000$ or even 1000$ today by repairing our faulty Macbook is brilliant. That’s an extra half Macbook cost ready to be spent on another one when the time comes or our need for performance increases.
When that time comes is up to us to buy a new one or keep pushing the one we have, but delaying it by a year or three is always a good starting point and saves another abandoned Macbook from polluting our one and only Planet.
