In short
What this service changes
Three things first, the detail below.
Power isolated first
The battery comes off before anything else. Charge moving through a wet board is active damage.
Ultrasonic cleaning
Lifts residue from under chips, where drying and rice never reach.
Corrosion photographed
You see what we are dealing with rather than taking our word for the quote.
Key takeaways
What you get, in six lines
Do not power it on. Every attempt pushes current through a wet board and spreads the damage.
Rice does nothing. It absorbs surface moisture and leaves the corrosive residue inside untouched.
The liquid matters: water is survivable, but coffee, juice and seawater corrode far faster.
Ultrasonic cleaning removes residue that drying alone never will, which is why drying-out rarely works.
Recovery odds fall by the day, so the machine coming in this week beats it coming in next month.
If the board cannot be saved, data recovery from the SSD is usually still possible.
Did it get wet in the last few hours?
Do not switch it on and do not charge it. Powering a wet board is what turns a cleanable spill into corrosion that cannot be undone.
MacBook Water Damage Repair Dubai
Professional Liquid Damage Recovery In-House
Liquid damage is a race against corrosion. The moment liquid touches a MacBook logic board, mineral deposits begin to form on copper traces and chip contacts. If the machine is powered on while wet, those deposits short-circuit components instantly. If it is dried incorrectly (rice draws surface moisture but not internal deposits), corrosion continues silently for weeks.
Professional ultrasonic PCB cleaning uses a degreaser bath and high-frequency vibration to remove mineral deposits from every surface of the logic board — areas no brush or swab can reach. After cleaning and thorough drying, we test every component under magnification and diagnose any remaining faults for targeted repair.
Azizi Technologies has been rescuing liquid-damaged MacBooks in Dubai since 2007. We handle coffee spills, swimming pool accidents, kitchen disasters and caught-in-the-rain cases. Our 4.9★ rating includes many MacBook owners who brought in a MacBook that "wouldn't turn on after getting wet" and left with it fully working.

What we do
MacBook Liquid Damage Recovery Process
Professional in-house repair. We never outsource liquid damage work.
Ultrasonic PCB Cleaning
High-frequency degreaser bath removes mineral deposits from every surface of the logic board. More effective than any manual cleaning.
Corrosion Removal
Visible corrosion on board traces and chip contacts removed under microscope with micro-tools. Traces repaired where corroded.
Component Testing
Every circuit on the logic board tested after cleaning. Capacitors, resistors, power rails and chips all verified before reassembly.
Data Recovery
SSD data preserved in most cases. We attempt data recovery before any risky board-level repair, and migrate it to an external drive.
Battery Inspection
Liquid-exposed batteries swell and can become unsafe. Battery inspected and replaced if swollen, leaking or showing abnormal charge behaviour.
Board-Level Repair
Short-circuited or corroded chips repaired by micro-soldering. We repair at component level, not board replacement.
Board-level repair vs replacement
Cleaning the board vs replacing the logic board
Most shops quote a replacement board because it needs no skill. On a liquid-damaged Mac it is usually the most expensive answer to the wrong question.
| Board-level repair | Logic board replacement | |
|---|---|---|
| What is actually done | Board cleaned ultrasonically, failed components replaced | Whole board swapped for another |
| Your data | SSD stays with the original board where soldered | Soldered SSD means the data goes with the old board |
| Cost | A fraction of a board swap | Often close to the value of the Mac |
| Turnaround | Typically days | Depends on board availability |
| Success rate | Above 75% when brought in early | High, but the data is usually gone |
| Skill required | Micro-soldering and diagnosis | Screwdriver |
| When replacement is right | When the board is genuinely beyond repair | We will say so plainly |
How liquid damage is handled
Four steps, starting the hour it arrives
- 01
Immediate power isolation
Battery disconnected first, before anything else. Any charge still moving through a contaminated board is actively causing damage while it sits.
- 02
Full teardown and inspection
Board removed and inspected under a microscope. We photograph the corrosion so you can see exactly what we are dealing with rather than taking our word for it.
- 03
Ultrasonic cleaning
The board is cleaned in an ultrasonic bath to lift residue from under chips and connectors, where drying alone never reaches.
- 04
Component repair and testing
Corroded components replaced by micro-soldering, then the machine is run under load for hours before we call it fixed.
Vendor neutral
What Liquid Damage Repair Needs
Named because this is the repair most often attempted with a hairdryer and a bag of rice. The equipment is the difference between a recovery and a write-off.
- Ultrasonic cleaning tankLifts corrosive residue from beneath chips and shields. Nothing you can do at home reaches under a BGA package.
- Stereo microscopeCorrosion starts at component-leg scale. Diagnosing it by eye is guessing, and guessing costs you the board.
- Hot-air rework and micro-solderingIndividual corroded components replaced rather than swapping the whole board and losing a soldered SSD.
- Isopropyl and no-clean fluxCorrect chemistry for the residue. Household cleaners leave conductive residue that causes a second failure weeks later.
- Bench power supplyControlled current on a suspect board reveals a short before it damages anything further.
- Class-100 recovery labWhere the board cannot be saved, the SSD goes next door and the data usually comes back anyway.
Finding us
Bring it in today, not next week
Two Dubai workshops: Concord Tower, Office 45 in Dubai Media City, and G 58 in the IT Center Building in Bur Dubai. Walk in during workshop hours — for liquid damage there is no value in waiting for an appointment.
If you cannot get there today, disconnect the power, leave it upside down and open, and send us the quote form. What you do before it reaches the bench changes the odds more than anything we do after.
What we see most in Dubai
Coffee and karak on keyboards, pool and beach water, condensation from moving a cold Mac into humid air, and air-conditioning leaks onto desks. The last two surprise people, because nothing was obviously spilled.
If the board cannot be saved
Data recovery from the SSD is a separate service and usually still succeeds, including on soldered Apple Silicon storage. We tell you the honest odds before you commit to either path.

“These guys are absolute pros when it comes to Apple products! I brought them my MacBook Air M2, which wasn’t powering on. Apple told me it was beyond repair and to throw it away; but AZIZI Technology fixed it! The issue was with the CPU, and now my MacBook is working like new. They also sell very clean, almost-new Apple devices. Highly recommend them if you need a repair or a solid deal on Apple tech!”
