How to know if logic board is fixable - 1 year old water damage
I have a early 2014 MacBook Air that suffered water damage around a year ago, to the point where it didn’t work any more. It was my mother’s at the time and she got it replaced by a newer model because a repair by Apple would apparently cost around $1200. I found the old MacBook a couple of days ago, opened it and see some corrosion on the logic board; a couple of spots here and there. I know how to properly clean it (with isopropyl etc., loads of tutorials online on that) but my question is - is it even worth trying? All the water damage repairs and corrosion cleaning I find on this model online is obviously done very shortly after the damage took place. But now that over a year has gone by, would the logic board even be affected by a proper cleaning? Or is it most likely completely fried?
Any input here is appreciated - I’m a newbie :)
Is this a good question?
