Hi all, Im having trouble with a water damaged macbook air. It is a 1.7Ghz i7 8GB RAM and apple have told me they won’t fix it due to the water damage (gotta try at least!). It starts and runs but is slow due to the sensor being damaged as far as i can see. The sound and sd card reader also show faults on the apple hardware test but I’m guessing this is related? I would really appreciate any help you can offer as id love to get it working again :-(
If you’re skilled with small electronic/computer logic board soldering you could replace the sensors… otherwise the easy (but still advanced) DIY “fix” is to replace the logic board, or, have a vendor on ebay repair the board (not every step of a DIY project has to be done by you). I would not attempt to bypass a sensor - you will cook the CPU or VGC. If this answer is acceptable please remember to return and mark it.
