Macbook Air with Coffee spill repair
Yesterdays macbook air with coffee spilled repair was quite lucky for the owner. We took computer apart, did a little board clean up. Then we let it dry for a while. Then checked the voltage on internal components, they checked out ok. Then put it back together and it worked! Good news for the customer!
However that is not always the case! And most importantly, i am getting tired of explaining to people, the fact that the first thing you want to do if you happen to spill coffee or water on your computer by accident, is to disconnect it from power source! which means unplug adapter and disconnect the battery.
Apple of course doesnt help you much with this. Especiall when they started using pentalobe shape screws on the bottom of the lid. they are the type of screws that NO ONE has a tool for them in their house, unless they have bought it on purpose. So i understand you completely if you tell me you are not able to open the lid on a macbook fast enough, because you dont have a proper screw driver to do it! not many people do!
That’s why if you spill coffee or water over your macbook air, you must rush to a nearest computer shop in the area and ask them to open it ASAP and disconnect the battery!
I can’t tell you how many macbook airs could be saved if people just did that. But they don’t!
What most people do, is they plug it in hoping macbook air with coffee spill will still work and if it works they get excited, but then 10 minutes later it stops working and they get very sad. Because they don’t understand two things:
- water (or coffee or most fluids) is a conduit! that means electricity can travel through it. which means if you spill it over electronic components, it will bridge connections for electricity to flow in places where it is not supposed to flow. I dont know if you ever tried to touch battery terminals together on car battery, to find out that it produces lots of sparks! same thing happens inside computers .except you dont see the sparks, because components are tiny and they are hidden under the lid(which you can’t open quickly enough). those components spark and burn when coffee creates conductivity in the wrong place and then your macbook air stops working!
- it is the power source (battery or power adapter) that causes damage to computers logic board, not the coffee or water! you can spill or you can dunk the computer into the bucket of water if you want to, then you can pull it out, dry it out, connect battery to it and it will most likely be working. But if you connect power adapter while water is present then some components will burn inevitably, because of what i mentioned in point number 1 above! It is electricity that burns things not the fluid!
And i can’t even tell you how many times people call and tell me same story. I just had another conversation today. they spilled water over macbook. and they tried to plug it in to see if it still works. It did work for 3 minutes. but then it died. Now they have to pay to fix it.
But if they just left it alone. turned it off, brought it to a computer shop like ours. We would clean it up, dry it out and the macbook air would be in perfect working condition!
Moral of the story! don’t be like most people! if you have coffee spill on macbook air, turn it off immediately and bring it back to fastest mac pc repair in newbury park, ca (fastest mac repair in thousand oaks area)! and we will take care of it for you and most likely it will work, just like the one with coffee spill in the picture!
Macbook pro Battery Replacement Total Time 1 Hour
Batteries, whether they are in phones, tablets or macbook pros, do not last forever! Average life for a battery is about 3-5 years based on my experience. Some failing a lot sooner and some lasting much longer than that!
There is really no way of knowing how long the battery will last! But overall, you usually get your money’s worth! except maybe some cases when batteries are somewhat defective when they get produced or maybe aren’t properly tested or perhaps are even allowed a narrow window of defectiveness to pass through by manufacturers. sort of like they “allow” up to 3 dead pixels on a computer screen. Without having to discard it as a complete defective!
I guess also the biggest mystery to address with batteries. is how do i use it so it lasts longer? thats the common question that i get and many people have a misconception about it!
Based on my research, as result of some customers being very curious about it, lithium batteries like to be charged most of the time, as much as possible.
the idea behind it is that little electrons like to move around instead of staying stagnant, like alkaline batteries used-to prefer. The more electrical charge is moving back and forth, the healthier for the battery. So it means the more you have your device plugged in, the more you will extend your battery life.
Thats the basic premise and most actionable thing you can do to your battery. everything else is really a matter of chance!
So if you see your battery starting to expand or getting extremely hot, or your device acting real slow when your battery is losing charge capacity. those are usually the signs your macbook pro battery replacement is necessary!

Macbook air keyboard replacement (after coffee spill)
Macbook air keyboard replacement is a pretty tedious job. Mainly, because apple started “welding” their keyboard to the cases. it means, there are no screws at the bottom of the keyboards anymore. all because apple wants eliminate repair shops and make repairs for people more difficult and more expensive. Instead they want you to call apple and wait in line 2 weeks for an appointment so they can replace it for you for the price triple of what it should be!
So you best don’t spill coffee or any other fluids on your macbook air (or any other macbook), because it will usually cost you arm and a leg to replace the whole palmrest on a macbook. especially on the new ones models!

macbook pro beer damage repair
macbook pro beer damage repair
- statistic show that mac users are way more prone to spill fluids on their macbooks than pc users. i dont know why that is. i suspect because mac people are free souls and creative types and dont sit in their cubicles with their back straight looking at one point into the monitor! and yes they don’t. that is obvious. the creative types sit at starbucks, on couch, on sofa, on beach, at parties and many other places where there are drinks and fluids around! it sounds so freeing and great, yet they do pay a hefty price for it! see you can be creative all you want, but computers by the way they are made, they just don’t like to get wet!
i personally sit with my computer everywhere too, but i dont let drinks or any other fluids near it. i have seen it too many times gone wrong way! so i guard my laptop from those kind of accidents! so this macbook pro came in cs fluids were spilled on it! and i was told it was water, but when i opened it. i smelled some other smell and it was too familiar for me not to recognize( Brett Kavanaugh would have recognized it too! he loves it so much! LOL) haha it was beer! so now we had a macbook pro beer damage repair on our hands! and it was a little different from water. cause some beers are sweeter than others so i think they put sugars in them and that makes beer a little sticky too. so few components had to be washed off.
anyhow this macbook pro 2015 had battery damage too, so that had to be replaced also! it turned out all ok at the end! computer works fine! everyone is happy! toast to that!

macbook pro water damage repair
macbook pro water damage repair
macbook pro water damage repair
when compared side by side in the times of busy-ness. People who own macbooks (apple products) the “creative” types. they tend to be more clumsy with their devices for some reason! it’s almost as if the pc people are really sitting properly in their cubicles, back straight, not moving around for 8 hours other than to go to kitchen take a coffee or water break! just like steve jobs predicted in his 1984 commercial! lol
the ratio of macbook pro water damage repair to pc repairs is staggering in apples favor! but im not here to judge! to us its a great thing! we get more work this way!
now a little tip of how to handle macbook pro water damage. first thing you want to do right away if you spill water or fluids on your macbook is to disconnect the battery (and charger). the reason being is that water or fluids alone are not going to damage the logic board. in fact logic boards are washed in fluids usually water to get the corrosion off. what kills macbook logic boards is electricity. water makes connections in wrong places and that creates a short. so many water damages can be prevented if one could disconnect the battery quickly! however that is not always possible! because on macbooks battery is inside of the computer. and to open it you nowadays need a special tool with pentalobe tip. which no one usually has (im guessing apple did it on purpose!).
so next best thing if you spill water or fluids on your macbook. first thing is at least unplug it and then turn it upside down or whichever way so the water comes out where it came in. and rush to the nearest mac repair place to have it opened and disconnect battery then you can possibly save the logic board and you wont need macbook pro water damage repair at all!
however if its too late and you let computer dry out and its not turning on. we can fix your macbook logic board 95% of the time! its cheaper than buying a new logic board or new computer! cheers!

macbook pro keyboard replacement
macbook pro keyboard replacement is one of most time consuming repair in the whole macbook repair industry. its not difficult, yet pretty time consuming, since macbooks are designed as whats called unibody style. that means macbook pro keyboard is on the bottom of the laptop. since the casing is reversed. if that makes sense. 🙂 everything has to come out in order to do macbook pro keyboard replacement. and that just takes time and patience on our part!
macbook pro keyboard replacement
why macbook pro keyboard replacement is necessary? usually its because some keys are not working or keys are sticky because of fluids spilled on keyboard. or in some cases keyboards stop working from age. in some cases cats or birds break the keys for their amusement reasons. and so on.
in some cases keyboards stop working because the connectors can become corroded and needs cleaned. but in most cases keyboards just go bad and some keys will stop working.
even though time consuming most keyboards can be replaced same day or next day guaranteed!

a1502 macbook pro 2015 retina screen replacement
a1502 macbook pro 2015 retina screen replacement
everyone praises apple macbooks as if they are the best laptops on the planet! and in some ways they really are! they have hard aluminum shell casings, their screens are amazing, their keyboards are perfect (when they work) and there are many other features that macbooks share that are awesome! as well as the coolness factor, which comes with owning a macbook and sitting in starbucks with it!
a1502 macbook pro 2015 retina screen replacement
BUT just like everything else in life they are not invincible! if you want to break it, it will break! and for the most part, unless macbook is more than few years old. they usually work and run flawlessly! that is, unless humans decide to damage them. purposely or by accident! and main way that macbooks get damaged are two: people either spill some fluids on them or they let them drop from bed, counters, tables, backpacks (ive seen it all). and that causes all kinds of problems.
this is what happened to this a1502 macbook pro 2015 retina screen replacement machine. it was dropped and corner cracked which caused screen to start getting all kinds of lines. but luckily we are here and screen was changed 0vernight! and customer is very happy!

I opened my first computer store, after i looked around to notice that people didn't have a proper place to repair their computers at.
It is similar (if not worse)with companies like Geek Squad(Best Buy), Genius Bar (Apple), Asurion(UbreakiFixit). They hardly do any inhouse repairs. Most of their computers get shipped out to manufacturers or other repair centers.
For that reason i was on a mission to change this industry and get computers fixed as fast as I can. So you and your family can get back to their zoom meetings as quickly as possible!
Another reason you should come here is because I fix most of the people's computer in the area anyway. Most just collect them and send them to me or I usually have to take care of their customers because the "other computer geniuses" break something and computer still ends up in our repair shop after that. I'm not saying that I'm perfect. I also make mistakes sometimes or sometimes get overwhelmed and forget something. But that doesn't happen very often. and if it does. It happens because of my own error or accident, not because I'm incompetent nor do i need to hide it by telling you to just go buy anohter computer cause this one is not fixable. Like other people do. I write this, because i really take it personally. And i don't understand why people have to lie instead of telling the person they don't know how to fix it. and just tell them to go look for some other options. I take this service seriously. I love doing it and i love providing nothing less than a truly NO-BS-Excellent service to people who come visit me! hope you will be one of them! Oh yes, and also in my free time i get out of town and shoot landscape photography! feel free to stop by our shop to see my artwork!
