Expert Advice & Tips
Common causes of water damage in MacBook Air (2017):
- Liquid spills near the keyboard or outside the chassis, which can seep into connectors and boards.
- Stepping through high humidity or condensation, leading to corrosion on logic boards.
- Sweeping power surges or charging while wet, which can fry circuits.
- Leaks from damaged ports that allow moisture to linger inside.
Prevention tips:
- Keep drinks away from the laptop and use a splash-proof sleeve.
- Dry hands and use a protective keyboard cover if you work near liquids.
- Power down immediately if moisture is suspected and do not charge.
- Use a dry, well-ventilated area to let the device normalize before testing.
When to repair vs replace:
- Repair if the device boots after drying, the battery holds charge, and corrosion is limited.
- Replace if the motherboard is severely corroded, data is unrecoverable, or repairs exceed 60-80% of device value.
What to look for in a quality repair service:
- Clear diagnostic and transparent pricing before work begins.
- Genuine or high-grade parts with a solid warranty.
- Accredited technicians with proven Mac experience.
Red flags to avoid:
- No written quote or vague estimates.
- Short warranties or no post-repair testing.
- Hidden charges or pressure to approve work quickly.
Maintenance guidance after repair:
- Back up data regularly and test the device after heavy use.
- Keep the device away from liquids and store in a dry place.
- Update macOS and run periodic diagnostics to catch issues early.

When my MacBook Air (2017) suffered water damage, I took it to iRepair Guys at Marsh. They diagnosed within minutes, fixed it in under an hour, and charged £80 — far cheaper than Apple. The screen, keyboard and logic board now work perfectly, and the whole process happened right here in Huddersfield with friendly, honest staff in Marsh.
Our office in Town Centre needed quick repairs for water damage on a MacBook. iRepair Guys arrived on time with their mobile service and had the device up and running fast. Reliable, professional and potentially cheaper than the Apple Store for businesses in Almondbury and Lindley alike.
As a student, I needed a fast fix for water damage on my MacBook Air. They quoted £80 and delivered a same-day repair, with solid testing before I picked it up in Brighouse. Much more affordable than Apple and the outcome was flawless, especially for a busy student living near Almondbury.
I used the mail-in option for my MacBook Air water damage and was impressed with the turnaround. From Moldgreen to Dalton, the repair arrived back within a day and the device felt exactly like new. Clear updates and no fuss whatsoever.
We had two MacBook Airs with water damage in our office in Town Centre. iRepair Guys offered same-day service and even came to our workplace for mobile repair. Fast, clean, and the devices were back in action by the afternoon — a real relief compared to Apple’s turnaround.
We use iRepair Guys for multiple devices around Dalton and Lindley. The loyalty discount helped when repairing more than one MacBook Air, and the team stuck to their 12-month warranty. Speedy, friendly service and far better value than visiting the Apple Store.

Technical
Q:
Device-specific technical question
Water damage on a MacBook Air (2017) can affect power management and keyboard circuitry. Our technicians perform a thorough diagnostic to identify corrosion on the logic board, check fuse integrity, and clean internal components with specialised contact-safe solutions. We then test the boot sequence, screen reliability, and battery sensing to ensure the device behaves as intended after repair.
Q:
What causes this issue?
Liquid exposure is the primary culprit, whether from spills, moisture, or humidity. Over time, corrosion can form on connectors and circuits, leading to intermittent power, keyboard faults, or display issues. Regular exposure to liquids increases risk of long-term damage, which is why prompt professional inspection is essential for MacBook Air devices.
Q:
Repair or replace device?
For a 2017 MacBook Air, repairs are often cost-effective when only the water damage needs addressing and essential components are intact. If the motherboard or key components show extensive corrosion, replacement may become more economical. We provide an honest recommendation after diagnostics, including a transparent quote and a comparison of repair versus replacement value.
Q:
Fix multiple issues?
We offer multi-repair options for devices with several problems, such as water damage plus keyboard or display faults. Our team can propose a bundled solution at a reduced rate, subject to device condition and required parts. If you’re in Lindley or Moldgreen, it’s often more efficient to address all issues in a single visit to our Huddersfield workshop.
