Got water damage on my M1 macbook pro 2020. Had my motherboard fixed within 1 day. Quick repair for reasonable price

I gave in my Macbook Air M2 to be fixed as I spilled coffee over my keyboard. Luckily, there wasn’t much damage done so they only had to replace my keyboard and it was all completed within a day. The price was affordable and my laptop is as good as new now!

Found Dotronix through google search when i accidently spilled water on my MacBook, they immediately answered my call and arranged the pickup after carefully understand my situation, within few minutes the pickup rider came and i got my quotation within couple of hours which i straight away agreed as it was very reasonable, the next day they called me to inform me that its ready, i made the payment and within an hour i got my laptop back, I am impressed with the level of technical efficiency and fluency of their work.

Had a pleasant experience here 🤩 spilled water on my Macbook Air (6months old), and it turned off completely. I thought I lost it already. Dotronix team managed to recover the motherboard & screen in 24h 🤏🏻 and for a very fair price. Im so happy thank you!! ...

What's going on

MacBook logic boards pack components extremely close together, which makes them more vulnerable to short circuits from liquid than a typical Windows laptop. If you've spilled something, shut it down immediately (don't just close the lid, which keeps it partially awake), and bring it in as soon as possible. We disassemble down to the board, clean every affected component and connector, and test each subsystem individually before reassembly.

Common signs to look out for

  • MacBook won't turn on after a spill
  • Keyboard keys stop responding in a specific area
  • Trackpad becomes unresponsive or erratic
  • Screen shows lines, discolouration or flickering
  • Battery not charging or draining unusually fast

What usually causes it

  • Corrosion on tightly-packed board components
  • Short circuits from residual liquid
  • Damage to the keyboard or trackpad flex cables
  • Corroded battery connector

How we diagnose this

01

Immediate shutdown verification

We confirm the device is fully powered down, not just asleep, to stop any short circuit spreading.

02

Full teardown to board level

The logic board and every connector are exposed for inspection.

03

Component-by-component cleaning

Corrosion and residue are cleaned from each affected part, not just wiped externally.

04

Subsystem-by-subsystem testing

Keyboard, trackpad, screen and battery are each tested individually before reassembly.

Common questions

MacBook water damage FAQs

Shut the MacBook down completely — don't just close the lid, which keeps it partially awake — and bring it in as soon as possible. Speed matters more than anything else for a good recovery outcome.
Water damage recovery starts from RM 350. The exact cost depends on how much corrosion and component damage has occurred, confirmed after a full inspection.
Typically 2 to 5 days, since it involves full disassembly, cleaning, corrosion treatment and testing every affected subsystem individually.
Same-day is common when the part is in stock and the fault is straightforward — the 2–5 days window mainly accounts for part availability for less common MacBook models. We confirm your actual timeline after diagnosis, not just the general range.
No — protecting your data is treated as seriously as the hardware fix itself. Where a repair could plausibly affect stored data, we back up what's accessible before starting work, and we never wipe or reformat a drive without your explicit go-ahead. If your MacBook won't boot at all, ask us about data recovery before assuming anything is lost.
Every repair carries our Standard Component Warranty, terms and conditions applying to labour and the fix itself. If a replacement part carries its own separate manufacturer or supplier warranty — batteries and SSDs typically do — that can extend further depending on the specific part, and we tell you exactly what applies to your repair before any work begins.
No. Basic live-agent assessment is always free at Dotronix, whether you approve the repair afterward or not. You only pay if you say yes to the quote we send you.
Both work, shaped to each hub. Book ahead with Our Live Agent for a guided workshop visit in Kepong, or visit our Kuchai Lama branch — call/WhatsApp first to confirm availability. Either way you get the same diagnosis and pricing.
