Hi guys,

My MacBook stopped charging one day, and the Apple store said it was due to corrosion around the I/O and/or main logic board and likely there was no hope to fix it. I was told it was probably moisture got drawn in through the fan... to clarify, I’ve never spilt anything on it.

Anyway, I decided to try repair it myself as it’s out of warranty and I got quoted £550+VAT for the repair! I’ve dismantled it completely and carefully cleaned all the components with 99.9% isopropyl alcohol. I did notice some slight corrosion on the underside of the logic board. After drying it out, I’ve reassembled it.

It still won’t work, however I’ve noticed that if I plug in the MagSafe charger (no light shows) and unplug the I/O flex cable, the fan runs and the computer starts up and I get a weird screen (will try upload a photo).

But with the flex cable connected, absolutely nothing.

Long story short, can I determine if the damage is to the logic board, the I/O board or the I/O cable?

Thanks,

Billy

I've managed to get my MacBook to turn when plugged in and the I/O cable is not connected. I still get no light on the Magsafe charger, and the computer is running slow with no audio etc, however I can still use it pretty much as normal. As soon as I connect the I/O flex cable, the computer turns off. Likewise when I disconnect the power, it does the same.

Does this sound like an issue with the I/O board itself perhaps?

Update:

My laptop is not charging when I plug it in. I've tried plugging in and out the charging port, and I tested the charger with another laptop. There's no visible damage on the charging port either, it seems perfectly fine. The light isn't lighting up on the charger, even though it does on the other one. What could be wrong?

It ran out of battery ages ago. Also, the display wire, hinges and clutch cover are broken.

This is the first time i’m doing this, but i’m gonna need to replace the back cover of my HP pavillion. This is mostly due to a crack that started forming a few months ago and i’m scared the screen might pop off. Is there a guide avalible to help me? I’m also not really sure over tools, so if anyone could give any suggestions, i’ll take them gladly.

For specifications, this is the specific model: HP Pavillion x360 Convertible 15-cr0xx.

Thank you for your time.

Edit: I wasn’t so specific in my question, so i’ll add some extra details. The part that needs replacing is the back of the LCD screen. Also. this is the best image i can find of the damage

my washer was not spinning at all and i found a penny jammed between the tub and agitator. the washer spins now but will not spin fast enough to get all the water out...

Does this metal plate serve to dissipate heat or something? Because the only thing on the other side of it is a battery, and I can’t see how it would short anything
