Liquid-damaged MacBook Air A1932 — a hole burnt through the board by the USB-C connector

After liquid damage, this MacBook Air A1932 literally had a hole burnt into the logic board next to the USB-C connector 🔥 The liquid caused a short circuit there that burnt through the board material.

To get rid of it, I had to drill out the board at that spot and remove the charred material — only then did the short disappear. I also replaced the USB-C port cable, and the last photos show spots of corrosion elsewhere on the board that needed repairing too.

The result? The computer works ✅
