Macbook A1708 with water damage and problems after removing U2800

03-17-2025, 06:27 AM

Hi all,

i got a A1708 with water damage. I cleaned everything and the board started normal. But the next day i got 20v but no booting. Thermal cam showed over 160c (never had a chip getting this burning hot before) in U2800 and some shorts on the caps around it. After removal shortages were gone and i installed a donor U2800 which worked before.
Sadly now the device stays at 5v, 0,4a and 1,9w and i don't find the problem.USB ports worked fine before.

Lenovo IdeaPad 3 15IAU7 that suffered water damage

by Joel Ohana
Hi,

I have a Lenovo IdeaPad 3 15IAU7 that suffered water damage. It doesn't turn on (white power light flashes when on button pressed), and the amber light flashes when plugged in.

Symptoms:
- Short detected – sparks appear when touching the charging port connection with board with a metal (even a multimeter probe).
- Visible damage – after cleaning corrosion, I found 4 possibly burnt memory chips near PC3165, labeled UD5, UD6, UD7, and UD8.
What are my next steps to diagnose and possibly repair it without replacing the entire board? Any guidance would be greatly...

Lenovo Legion 5 Pro 16ACH6H Water Damage

by Andreasbest

Hello!
Today i received a Legion 5 pro with motherboard NM-D562 that suffered water damage, no power at all, no led, no fans, nothing.
I measure 20v on PQ5401 at pins 5, 6, 7 and 8 but 0v at 1, 2, 3 and 4.
Is this normal?
Thanks in advance!

Alienware m15 r3 mb bap10 la-d751p rev 1.0 water damage repair request

by koschmilla@icloud.com

Hello. I spilled over night a marginal amount of water and this morning my Alienware m15 r3 didn’t turn on anymore. The charger was blinking when plugged in rather than showing a solid light when not being plugged in.

opened her up and I see some liquid and discoloration. After a light cleaning, I can make out some damage around some power elements mainly a blown “4r7”. I tested with multimeter and would like to attempt to replace with some small components around.

looking at my pictures, could anybody give me an idea how to proceed? The front of the board looks...
