Liquid damaged MacBook Air a1466

Hi,

I've spilt Whiskey over the Macbook Air over a year ago and recently booted the machine up and surprisingly it was working fine. After a few days it started to randomly reboot itself and now it reboots and starts the fans very high just as its booting up in a constant cycle.

The charger was showing a green light but now it does not light up at all.

Well when actually, the bar on the file vault encryption goes along about 20% and the machine now reboots back again.

I've run the CMD+D Hardware diagnostics for over an hour and it says everything is fine.

Can you help me determine what parts need to be replace please?

Thank you very much!

Those hardware diagnostics are useless, you need ASD or you won't solve anything. If your board is 820-3209 find 3S155 and use that to test.

Buy some cheap baking tray for $1 at the corner store deli and fill it with 99% alcohol from the pharmacy, toothbrush the board off in it. When done put it in an oven for two hours at 275f. NO HIGHER. We are NOT trying to melt solder rather we are trying to get rid of all the liquid so it evaporates from under the chips, where you cannot see it.

Report back findings.
