What to Do Right Now
Switch Off Immediately
Do not attempt to use or charge the MacBook. Power it off and leave it off — powering a wet board causes short-circuit damage.
Do Not Use Rice
Rice does not remove corrosion or clean contaminated contacts. It wastes critical intervention time while corrosion spreads.

Liquid Damage Repair for Illovo Clients
We have seen every type of liquid damage in our Hyde Park workshop — coffee, water, wine, condensation from load-shedding humidity changes. The consistent finding is that time is the most critical variable. Liquid on a logic board causes two types of damage: the initial short-circuit when the machine was powered, and the ongoing corrosion that continues for days or weeks after the incident.
For legal and financial professionals along Oxford Road, same-day collection from Illovo, Craighall Park, and the Oxford Road commercial strip makes a measurable difference to the success rate. We use a commercial ultrasonic bath to remove all residue and contaminants from the board, followed by a full board-level diagnostic to identify any components that were damaged by the exposure.
Not every liquid-damaged MacBook can be saved, but the majority can. We have repaired MacBooks that arrived weeks after the incident and still had the board restore to full function. The honest assessment you receive after our diagnostic will tell you exactly what is repairable and at what cost, with no obligation to proceed.
