MacBook Water Damage Repair - Mail it in or Come to Our Store!

You might have to leave your Macbook, but we will give you an assessment of what the liquid spill damaged, and what would need to be fixed, at no charge! If your Macbook is too far damaged to be worth repairing, you can take it back at no cost. If you are local, come to our store. If you live far away, you can always send your Macbook to us for the free estimate(click here).

Macbook spill damage is serious because it corrodes sensitive electronic components, but it’s not unfixable. At Apple, you will hear quotes of $750 to $1600 to repair Macbook water damage. Their claim will be that they must replace the entire board with an overpriced tier 3 or tier 4 repair. The reality is that they are not interested in getting their hands dirty fixing the totally reusable parts you already have: it’s easier for them to gouge your wallet by replacing everything.

As soon as you get liquid in your Macbook you should stop using it. Turning it on will just make it worse as this allows electricity to flow through shorted wet components causing it to look like the board in the picture below. Even when the damage is this extensive we can repair it, but it is best to minimize damage so we have a higher likelihood of fixing your board in a reasonable timeframe.

When you come to Rossmann’s, WE fix it!

What sets Rossmann Repair Group apart? Most companies must outsource component-level motherboard repair because they don’t know how to do it or they don’t have the necessary tools. This causes long delays and unexpected surprises; the person you are talking to does not work for the company repairing your Macbook.

With Rossmann Group, the buck stops here. We repair your Macbook, we repair your logic board, and you only deal with us. Our company has helped instruct thousands of other repair technicians on how to perform these repairs via free YouTube contentguides, and personal instruction

At the time of photographing, that board was $750 part by itself, and we were able to repair it for $325. It is still alive & kicking!

Shocked by Apple’s flat rate $750-$1250 pricing? Here’s what it would cost with us

Call or Visit Us

Monday-Friday – 11 AM to 7 PM

Austin, Texas 78705
Keyboard – $175-$350 (depending on model)
Trackpad – $125-$250 (depending on model)
Logic board repair – $250-$425 (depending on model)

Newer models & rare cases can cost up to $600 due to Apple's anti-competitive practices of closing the supply chain to independents to purchase chipsets for their products. Whereby necessary chipsets could be obtained in the past affordably, we now must buy donor boards for $250-$450 for a single repair. Click here for details. If this bothers you, consider supporting Right to Repair!
Logic board + keyboard + trackpad –$300-$600 (depending on model)

5 star ratingCan't recommend this place enough! I'm from out of state and was referred to Rossmann repair by a friend. I spilled water all over my Apple laptop and they fixed it good as new at the fraction of the cost that Apple and another local repair place in MD wanted to do it. Easy to mail in for an estimate and they send it back in perfect condition. They stayed in great communication and got it back to me quick. If you're thinking of using this place, do it!

5 star ratingHands down the best and most reasonable priced mac repair shop (of course I would not expect anything less from Mr. Rossmann). Spilled some liquid on my Mac and fried it Dropped it off at their shop around noon and picked it up at end of day fully functioning. A+

My laptop was ruined from water leakage in my bag and I was so worried that all of my data would be gone. I went to Apple and they said to buy a completely new laptop, which is costly. RRG repaired my laptop in A DAY with a reasonable price and I was so relieved. Weeks later, by laptop is working perfectly. I highly recommend this company for electronic repairs!

5 star ratingNice Honest business. Apple told me it would be $1,600 to fix my laptop due to spilled water without touching it. Brought it here and was quoted $450. Luckily it was a smaller repair and walked or passing under$200. Was a little dustier than when I left it, and they took care of it before I left.

I've been following the YouTube tutorials since my family and I were in India on business. My son spilled Geteraid on my keyboard and my computer wouldn't come on after I opened it and cleaned it, laying it upside down for a week. To make the story short I took my computer to the shop while I'm in New York on business and did charged me $45.00 for a rush assessment. With in 1:45 minutes it was fixed 100% like new. MacBook Air 2013. My challenge was trusting my computer that has traveled through Europe, Southeast Asia and Latin America. Thank you Rossmann for such fast and excellent work. I will trust any of my Apple Products on to you and your staff.

Hands down one of the best professional team have ever seen in their sector. Had a water damaged MacBook and took to apple and bestbuy and got some crazy quotes and timelines like 90 days plus 😃. Went to Ross and within 10 days got my MacBook back in perfect working condition. Great job guys 👍.

What can I say other than cheers...your are an oasis in a desert of planned obsolescence! Some water damage had my MacBook Air acting up...smc non resettable, fans running constantly, then my keyboard bugged out with nonsense coming from all of its keys... Genius Bar quoted me a repair requiring an entire logic board replacement...was my 2015 Air even worth that cost anymore? There it sat, with me vacillating between the refurbished store and a 'college try' at a repair A local certified Apple repair guy WAS able to simply replace a cable, and the sensors that had failed in the logic board according to Genius Bar now worked fine, trouble was that my own inquisitive (read maladroit) nature found me breaking the battery connector off the board while monkeying around inside the Air, a repair which the local independent tried to fix without success (pads were gone he said..no joy for me). Again I was looking at logic board replacement for 'slightly' less than Genius Bar repair, or to just use it as a constantly plugged in desktop machine(???). Upon pick up at my local guy I immediately put it into the mail to Louis and the guys at Rossmann...little more than a week later I am typing this review on said formerly wet and sad MacBook Air. In fact, they even honored the lower of the two quotes I was sent! That said, there is no going back for me. My exposure to Rossmann Repair Group was initially through late night viewings of his youtube channel, whether it was the measured delivery of his absolute common sense views on 'right to repair' issues, or indeed, of the world in general, perhaps it also being a 'relaxation video' (like watching paints being swirled together or cookies being frosted) aspect of watching heated liquid flux run across a board, I honestly don't know...but I'll take it all! Bravo!
