Hi, need some advice. Had liquid damage on my Mac, sent in for repair they quoted me the price of my laptop(4.7k) which is ridiculous.

Reason being they need to change the entire logic board (2k+), keyboard (1k+),battery, Touch ID, speaker , trackpad.. well almost the whole laptop la.

My trackpad is dead & my speaker has some buzzing sound.

Is it worth proceeding with this expensive repair ? Or should I just get my laptop fixed outside ? Any recommendations ?

Also... Can I just get my speaker or trackpad replaced by Machines ? If don’t make any repairs, they will charge rm160. Thought I might as well just get a part changed.

Standard repair for any authorized service center, regardless brand. They will change modules, not replace component level. The reason is they will not take risk of getting customer complianed and dissatisfaction after repair. Tarnish reputation.

I guess, if any independent service guy can dismantle and clean those parts, maybe it will work. Only some mechanicals need to replace. Electronics don't get damage just by spill like that. smile.gif

If you watch loiuss rossmann youtube channel, you’ll get the idea why they just replace the whole board

Yes. Better sell for parts and buy another. Mac and water are a no-no.

Water damaged consider it the end.
