Water Damaged Mac, Can I Fix It? [W/ hardware diagnostic photos]

#1

Hi guys,

My water bottle broke in my bag and caused water damage to my mid-2014 Macbook Pro with Retina Display

After drying out it seems to be pretty much fully functioning. However, it does not power on unless it's connected to power. I ran a hardware diagnostic and it seems like my battery and battery sensor are out

(photos here and

here). My question is if I just get a replacement battery will it fix the sensor as well?

[I understand I should just get a new laptop, like they told me at the Genius Bar, but being a struggling Uni student I'd like to leave that as the last resort]

Any helpful advice would be greatly appreciated!

Cheers,

Serena
