MacBook Unibody A1342 no power after water damage to logic board

MacBook Unibody A1342 no power after water damage to logic board
Ive sustained damage to my logic board after water damage. Can anyone tell me if it can be repaired or what the parts which have fallen off do(looks like 2 tiny capacitors?) . Magsafe has green light and battery charges but machine shows no other life signs. any help would be most appreciated thanks

@CoccoBorg:
I need your help, please. I spilled wine on my mid 2009 unibody macbook pro, now when  I power up I see Hard drive light On, I hear fan noise, but don't hear any startup Apple chime and nothing on display, I cleaned the logic board with 91% alcohol, but that didn't change anything. Before cleaning the logicboard, their were no signs of wine on the logicboard, but there was a lot of wine on the keyboard black sheet.
My guess is:
1. The keyboard might be causing this behaiour, I wan't to bypass the keyboard, can you please confirm if these are the right power pads on logicboard?

  • TS1365 No power after reconnecting cables to logic board.

    After reconnecting all cables to the logic board, there seems to be no power. Battery is good. MagSafe is good. Logic board is good. No liquid damage, no drops, RAM is good. All I did was unhook the cables and then reconnect them. Logic board was never completely out. What am I missing?

  • Water damage a logic board

    I spilled water on the laptop and i clean it immediately, but maintenance expert told me that he must change A logic board
    I am in ksa now What is the cost of reform with Apple and what's the best way to send the device
    <Personal Information Edited by Host>

    Liquid spills are never good for electronic equipment... and the MacBook Pro has a number of liquid sensors under the hood. I'm sure that's what the maintenance expert' has seen. And, yes, the only remedy is (usually) to replace the logic board.
    If you've an Apple AASP in your country (https://locate.apple.com/country) I would let them fix your computer.
    Good luck,

  • I am looking at a MacBook pro 17 early 2011 with water damage that doesn't turn on. Now t would have a voided warranty wondered if anyone knew how much apple would charge to fix. If its worth fixing?

    I am looking at a MacBook pro 17 early 2011 with water damage that doesn't turn on. Now t would have a voided warranty wondered if anyone knew how much apple would charge to fix. If its worth fixing?

    It mostly depends on the damage that was done (the LCD, keyboard, etc) but yours does not turn on so I am assuming it was fully submerged and completely damaged. Therefore, I would think your warranty is most definitely void.
    When did this happen? How bad was it? Have you taken any measures to get it to dry? You can go online and you can find tips on how to dry it at least a bit so that it is not as bad, it might not get it to work, but it can help you prevent rusting, which would cause further damage thus reducing the probability of getting repaired/replaced. Also, do not try to turn it on unless you have tried to dry it as it will damage it even more (electricity + water = destruction). I would suggest giving this a try, and if it is still not working then it is probably worth a try with Apple, just go in for a consultation in terms of pricing. If they seem too high and/or the warranty is void, then you can opt for after-market products which significantly reduce the repair costs... as you would have nothing to lose anyway in terms of warranty.
    It's $3,000, that pays my rent. Even investing $1,000 would be better than just not giving it a try at all lol.

    Is it possible to recover data from an iPhone after water damage, regardless of whether the phone is salvagable?

    Yes, depending on the amount of damage.

    If it does not respond when plugged to a computer running the latest version of iTunes, then it is indeed dead and no content will be recoverable.

  • Putting cat litter in a bag of cat litter after water damage- will it help

    If you put your iphone 5 in a bag of cat litter will it help more than rice after water damage? if so, what kind????

    http://discussions.apple.com/message/22464453#22464453
    It doesn't matter as you didn't  let your phone sit in the bag of rice long enough.
    You just may need to pony up and go to the Apple store and buy an out of warranty iphone 5.

  • Would a Top Case keyboard replacement for Macbook Unibody A1342 (US version), be compatible w/my Macbook if originally it had a Japanese version?

    I bought a Macbook Unibody back in 2010, and until now the system is still working perfectly fine, probably because I keep on updating my software version, currently I am on Mac OS X 10.8.2 (Mountain Lion)...I don't have issues with it.
    I bought this Macbook in Japan, the keyboard version is on Japanese (with US alphabets) becaue I was studying Kanji back then, and apparently I am now living here in the Philippines and some of my keyboard keys are lost and they were taken off by my naughty niece (LOL, couldn't blame her though... she's just 2 years old)... now I am looking for a replacement. I couldn't find Japanese version of Top Case replacements here in Manila... now I kinda realized I might as well use a US version moving forward.
    Now my question is re: Top Case keyboard replacement for Macbook Unibody A1342 (US version), would it be compatible w/my Macbook if originally it had a Japanese version?
    Thanks in advance for all the help & informations. I would really appreciate it before I buy a replacement.
    Have a good one guys! ^_^)Y

    but it has been dropped a bit.
    Translation - It has been dropped multiple times.
    All the problems are likely related. Better get it to an Apple service rep and be aware that any warranty does not cover abuse of the product.

  • Battery doesn't work in MacBook Air after water damage

    Hi all,
    Loooong story related to problems I've had with access to certain pages using my home internet connection (turns out that's the ISP and they just didn't want to admit it).
    ANYWAY, my water bottle top popped off, and poured water all over my MacBook Air 11" mid 2012. I've had it sitting for about a week - did the whole rice thing etc. I've not connected it to a power socket (scared something might happen), but I have connected it to my hyperjuice external battery. It turns on with this and works completely fine it appears, except for a little sluggishness on some keys and the trackpad. I'm hoping this will lessen as it dries out. However, as soon as I disconnect the external battery it dies. It will not turn on on its own even though the battery has 97% power.
    Can I replace the battery? Do you think that will suffice? And does anyone know about how much it would cost to do this?
    What's my best plan of action here? I'm a student, and I can't really afford a new laptop (& the 17" is too big and heavy to take to uni). So, in failing to fix this one, I'm not exactly sure what I'll do.
    Thanks

    Your best bet is to suck it up and take it to Apple. It'll be costly but water damage is, unfortunately, the gift that keeps on giving. It really needs to be professionally repaired. Check with your renters (or your parents) home/renters insurance to see if the computer is covered.

  • MacBook original(2008) won't start after water damage

    Hi guys, my macbook originial (2009) won't start because of I think water damage. I was on a plane and I found my backpack was wet be ause of my leaking water bottle. I immediately took out everything. My iPad,the MacBook and all the chargers and whatnot. The water touched the left side of the macbook (the USB side) including the MagSafe port. So I wiped it and left it to dry for about 36 hours. When I got to my house, I checked the iPad and it was ok and so was its charger. I tried to connect the MagSafe but it shows a dim light which means its not charging. So I decided to clean the connections and tried again but no luck.  I got once lucky by reconnecting multiple times till it started and it's fans were blowing like ****. Everything was normal then I saw the battery icon. It said batteries not available. Powered by power cord. Then I went out for a while and when I came back the macbook was switched off by my brother. So what can I do now?
    Sorry but I live in Malaysia so there is no genius bar :(
    Any help will be appreciated!

  • Cannot play HDCP on internal MacBook Air (Mid 2012) after water damage - the only fault with MBA after the spill?

    Hi everyone-
    So this Sunday afternoon I went to download some TV shows on my MacBook Air - having recently spilt some water across my Mac. Have left it for a couple of weeks, and seems the only issue is that the MacBook Air now no longer recognises the batteries so has to be run from AC power.
    Everything else on the Mac works fine - though, when I went to play these TV shows I downloaded (720p), it brings up the HDCP error saying that:
    "The selected movie won't play on your display.
    This movie can be played only on displays that support HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection)."
    I've googled and searched everywhere but can find no workaround- nor any troubleshooting to help me out with this.
    Can anybody advise, beyond stating the obvious that the water has obviously messed something up.
    Thanks!

    Sorry for taking so long, I had to go Christmas shopping with the family.  Anyway, I tried that, and no gas there, either. I've done a memtest and changed the hibernatemode to 0 using pmset since this post.  So... yeah.  I'm hitting a wall and am willing to bet it's the SSD going out the door.

  • Macbook Pro battery stopped working after water spill.

    Hello,
    I own a Macbook Pro 13 inch mid 2010 that suffered water damage, after that it stopped functioning so I unplugged and plugged again the battery, the computer than turned on and now it's working well. The only issue I'm having is that now it only works when connected to a power source, there is a message telling that my battery has to be replaced (Condition: Replace now). My question is: If I replace the battery would the problem be solved or it may be a problem in my logic board due to the liquid spill? Can anyone help me?

    You have "killed" your Macbook.
    If you let it dry out, it MAY start working again, but if it does, this will inevitably be temporary as corosion sets in and does futher (and almost certainly terminal) damage.
    The only benefit of letting it dry is that IF it works again, you will be able to save what is on the HDD.  Only important if you don't have a backup.......you DO have a backup don't you???
    Irrelevant whether you have AppleCare or not - water damage isn't covered.  And the cost of repairs is likely to exceed the value of your MBP.  It is worth taking it in for a free evaluation of the cost of a repair.
    Your best option may be to sell it for spares and invest in a new computer - which will be kept a long way from any drinks or other sources of liquid damage! 

  • June 2012 MacBook Air completely blind to networks (water damage?)

    Hey guys.
    My 1 month old MacBook Air (10.8.2, June 2012) won't detect ANY wifi network.
    I've been using my home network and the MBA won't detect it any more. My iPad, PCs are all working as per usual. Tried rebooting MBA/router to no avail.
    A few drops of water landed on upper right hand corner, the Mac jammed after but when I rebooted it, all seemed fine. So possible water damage?
    I turned WIFI scanner off/on and it shows an attempt at scanning but it won't find any, not even my my neighbors' networks.
    The icing on the cake is there are no Genius bars in my country and I bought the MBA from the Apple Online store so ideas are much appreciated. I'm resuming University after the Christmas break and will need it ASAP.
    Thank you in advance! :)

    Well sorry to tell you but you won't get your money back.If you bought it in June, and it is now August, Apple has only a 14 day return policy for full refund. You are well past that 14 day period. Apple will fix your present system or they might even replace it but you won't get a refund.

  • Black screen with white circle every 5 seconds, after water damage

    my ipod touch (3gen.32gb) had water damage 3 days ago. now as it dried, i connected it to itunes and restored, but it keeps showing black screen with white circle every 3-5 seconds. could this be a software problem or is it all because of water?  i put it in recovery mode, and restored again, but it did not help, is there anything i could do to stop it ? thanks

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • "not charging" after water damage

    My macbook air was water damaged 2 weeks ago and now it functions well except the battery. It shows "not charging". It is still under warranty now. Does Apple charge to get is checked to see whether battery is the only problem? And how long will that take?

    make Appt. with Apple for diagnostic / repair.
    There is no cost for evaluation, but accidents / spills are not warranty coverage.
    Your Mac is not "functioning well" at all if you cant charge it.  By trying to charge it you likely caused more damage.
    Dont risk more damage and try to use or charge your macbook,  make call for service.
