How to Save Your MacBook: Your First Must-Do Actions
You must act fast after spilling liquid on your MacBook.
Even if you wipe off the surface immediately, water, coffee, or tea quickly seep into the tiny crevices of your MacBook. Once the liquid gets into your Apple laptop, the damage begins.
Sugary drinks (soda, juice), as well as alcohol and salt water, are more aggressive than regular water, so the risk of severe damage from them is much higher. They trigger rapid corrosion that can damage your logic board, induce electrical shorts, result in data loss, and even cause fires if not handled properly.
We know that you want to save your MacBook. Follow these instructions to increase your device’s chances of survival:
- Unplug the charger and turn off your MacBook. Do not attempt to shut down via the menu; hold the power button until it goes dark. Do not turn it on, and do not press any keys or buttons.
- Leave the MacBook open and turn it upside down. You need the liquid to drain out of the keyboard. If the spill was on one side, angle it so the water drains out of the nearest edge.
- Avoid tilting or shaking the device. This can cause liquid to seep further into the display layers, causing permanent damage. If you have a removable battery (older Apple laptops), take it out.
- Don’t put your Mac laptop in rice. Rice does not pull moisture out of sealed electronics. Instead, dab excess water from the laptop with a clean, dry towel.
Visit Repairs Bay Brooklyn for expert chemical cleaning and repair. For the best results, bring the MacBook in for service as soon as possible. The faster you act, the higher the chance your logic board and other components will be safe.
Same-day drop-offs are often possible, depending on workload – we’ll confirm availability when you contact us. If you are not in Brooklyn, use our secure mail-in service with shipping to send your device to us.

MacBook Water Damage Repair
Many repair centers will tell you that a water-damaged MacBook is unfixable. In reality, many devices can still be recovered if addressed in time. The sooner you shut down your MacBook and take it to a repair shop, the less likely it is to fail.
We fix the device instead of making you purchase a costly new one because we specialize in micro-soldering and advanced cleaning.
Our goal is often data recovery. We work to get the board functional enough to back up your files. We strive to provide the best MacBook repair services, but sometimes data recovery is not possible or is expensive. We’ll give you a final verdict after a full diagnostic – before any work starts.
Not Sure If Your MacBook Is Worth Fixing?

- No obligation
- Walk-ins welcome
Clear Charges and Only Necessary Replacements
Our processes minimize the risks that MacBook owners often encounter at other service centers, including Apple Stores. We are strongly against unexpected charges, unnecessarily expensive repairs, and confusing diagnostics.
You get safety, control, and certainty:
- You learn all the repair details before you check out.
- Pricing is clearly disclosed and approved up front, so there are no surprises.
- Your data, Apple ID, and passwords are never accessed during hardware repairs.
When possible, we offer component-level repairs rather than full board replacements and explain whether this makes sense for your case. It may be necessary to update the motherboard or logic board. If it’s possible to do this efficiently, we’ll inform you and help you reduce the cost of repairs.
Professional MacBook Diagnostics
When it comes to liquid damage, we always offer professional MacBook diagnostics starting at $99. This is our way of protecting you.
Liquid damage can affect different components over time. Just a splash of water may put your MacBook at risk. And the more aggressive the liquid is, the more likely it is to cause harm. It may lead to deeper problems. That’s why we check the device to tell you exactly what’s wrong and if we can handle it.
The diagnostics allow us to understand all the problems and their severity. You won’t overpay for the replacement of quality components for no reason. If you proceed with the repair, the diagnostic fee will be included in the total cost.
If we cannot fix the gadget, you don’t pay for the repair attempt. Water damage repairs are not covered by our warranty because no honest shop can guarantee a successful recovery.

We are a professional MacBook repair service. Repairs Bay Brooklyn is part of the iFix New York network, offering Apple gadget repair in NYC.

Our techs are experienced in all types of MacBook spill repairs.
- We conduct visual MacBook diagnostics for visible water residue, corrosion, or damage.

Here’s how our repair process works:
1. Diagnostics: We examine the visual issues and run an internal assessment so you don’t overpay.
2. Setting the Price: You’ll know the total recovery cost before we start. It won’t change later.

If data recovery is required (and possible), we implement strict confidentiality protocols to protect your sensitive personal information throughout the entire repair process.

FAQ
What should I do immediately after spilling liquid on my MacBook?
Act fast. Turn off the gadget and unplug the power adapter. Turn the MacBook upside down to let the liquid drain out. Never use a hairdryer, and do not put your laptop in rice. Then contact our Apple repair service and bring us the device as soon as possible.
Should I try to fix my computer myself first?
No, we strongly advise against undertaking your own repairs. The surface might look dry. However, if your MacBook filled with liquid stays without professional repair for a long time, there may be permanent short circuits and logic board failure. Over time, untreated liquid damage can lead to permanent failure.
Do you repair MacBook Pros on-site?
In cases of severe liquid damage, we employ our own Manhattan laboratory, which is equipped for microscope-level component repairs. Your device remains within our network, subject to the same repair and tracking standards. If it cannot be repaired there, it is typically not cost-effective to repair it elsewhere.
How long will it take to repair a water-damaged MacBook?
In most cases, repairing a waterlogged MacBook takes anywhere from a few hours to several days. If it’s just pure water, you’ll likely be able to get your MacBook back in a day. But if it’s cola or tea, and it’s been a few days, repairs might take a little longer.
Do you offer a warranty on MacBook water damage repairs?
No. While most repairs come with a written warranty, liquid damage and severe corrosion are excluded because no reputable shop can guarantee the success of the repair in these cases. No fine print.
How much does a water damage repair cost?
MacBook repair after water damage starts at $250. The final price depends on the extent of the corrosion, your MacBook model, and the cost of replacement components. We offer transparent pricing and provide detailed quotes after a $99 diagnostic (which is applied to the repair cost). If we cannot fix it, you don’t pay for the repair attempt.
