Chosen Solution
Hello. I recently received a MacBook Pro (13-inch, 2017, 2 TBT3) with water damage. I treated all the components for water damage by cleaning with isopropyl alcohol. I also put the board in a heating oven for 1 hour on 175 degrees Celsius. When i opened the MacBook the components didn’t look to bad to begin with. After thoroughly cleaning them they look like new. The battery seems to be dead as i can only measure 2-3V on it. If i plug in the charger i measure about 12V on it but even after charging it overnight the battery is still at 2-3V After all this the MacBook doesn’t show any signs of life. So i am hoping anyone out there has any more tips or tricks i can try. Is it depended on the battery being fully functional or does the main board definitely have some issues?
I believe that even if the battery doesn’t hold charge it should power up if everything works. I believe the laptop motherboard is probably fried. You could pull the SSD off and try on other Apple computers to make sure its not storage problem.
