Possible to bypass thermal sensors, or fix them?
Hi all,
Im having trouble with a water damaged macbook air. It is a 1.7Ghz i7 8GB RAM and apple have told me they won't fix it due to the water damage (gotta try at least!). It starts and runs but is slow due to the sensor being damaged as far as i can see. The sound and sd card reader also show faults on the apple hardware test but I'm guessing this is related?
I would really appreciate any help you can offer as id love to get it working again :-(
Is this a good question?

After much faffing about, I am still no further forward. I have tried Reflowing the SMC incase the damage was related to that, and it hasn't made it better or worse. What i have noticed is that there is a very small corrosion mark on the logic board flex cable connector. The cable and I/O board have been replaced but offered no fix. Are there any thermal sensors on the I/O board and does the flexi provide charging or anything like that?
The macbook still has all the same issues, which look like they could all come from the same position hence the no sound. Can anyone provide me with any further advice? Thanks :-)
