A cup of coffee next to the MacBook Pro 16" OLED M5 Max is easily knocked over, and what you do straight away then counts: switch the device off, do not charge it and bring it in. In Antwerp and Wolvertem, FIXNOW opens the MacBook, cleans and dries it and examines the logic board. That way you know what can still be saved.

Specifieke probleem
Scherm & Glas
Moederbord
Vervangbare onderdelen lijken allemaal in orde, toestel toch defect. (Nader onderzoek vereist)
MacBook start niet op en reageert niet op de aan-uitknop, ook niet aan een andere, werkende lader. Wij zoeken de fout op het moederbord en herstellen die.
Laadt niet op via USB-C of MagSafe, op geen enkele poort en ook niet met een andere kabel of lader. Wij herstellen het laadcircuit op het moederbord.
MacBook start niet meer op of heeft waterschade en u wilt uw bestanden en foto’s terug. Bij MacBooks met T2-chip of Apple silicon zit de opslag vast op het moederbord: daarom herstellen we eerst het moederbord en zetten we daarna uw gegevens over.
Blijft hangen op het Apple-logo, toont een map met een vraagteken of herstart steeds, ook na een herinstallatie van macOS.
Na contact met water, koffie of een ander drankje start de MacBook niet meer op, valt hij uit of laadt hij niet meer op, soms pas maanden later. Reinigen alleen volstaat niet.
Het scherm blijft zwart terwijl de MacBook wel aan staat: toetsenbordverlichting, geluid of een extern scherm werken. Wij zoeken uit of de fout in het scherm of in het backlight-circuit op het moederbord zit.
Starting price: we first examine the logic board. You then get the exact price as a quote by email and decide yourself; we only repair after your approval. If you decline or the repair does not succeed, you only pay for that examination.
What liquid does to a MacBook Pro 16" OLED M5 Max
The MacBook Pro 16" OLED M5 Max has the OLED touchscreen and the heaviest chip, the M5 Max. It is often the replacement for a desktop, and then it sits on a desk day in, day out with a cup of coffee or a glass of water within reach. One knocked-over cup is enough to put the device out of action.
- Keys that stay stuck or do nothing after spilled coffee
- MacBook that no longer starts up after moisture got in
- Device that cuts out or acts strangely after contact with water
- Flickering or black picture after a wet accident
- MacBook that will not charge after moisture
MacBook Pro 16" OLED M5 Max water damage: what you do straight away
If liquid has gone over the MacBook, switch it off, do not charge it and bring it in to Antwerp or Wolvertem. Moisture keeps doing damage, even when the device already looks dry on the outside.
With water damage, FIXNOW opens the MacBook, cleans and dries it and examines the logic board. If that is damaged, we carry out the logic board repair after water damage. If the keyboard has also been affected by the liquid, we replace that separately. What can still be saved, we only know once the device is open; we cannot promise anything.
If the MacBook no longer starts up after the accident, that is often down to the logic board. We then examine that first. If Antwerp or Wolvertem is too far away, you can send the device in.

Broke my laptop in class, walked in 3 hours later with no appointment and my screen was fixed the next day. Great and open communication about the procedure and price. Definitely recommend!!
Reply from FIXNOW
Breaking your laptop mid-class is a rough moment, so we're glad you could just walk in without an appointment. We'd always rather talk you through the procedure and the price upfront than leave you guessing, and getting a laptop screen repair in Antwerp done by the next day is exactly what we hoped for here on the Wiegstraat.
Fixed my screen in an hour with no problems afterwards very good service
Replaced my screen and lightsensor. Done a very good job and within an hour.

A new screen and light sensor sorted inside the hour — that's exactly the kind of job our technicians like getting their hands on, and screen repair in Antwerp is something we do daily. Enjoy the clear display, Marijke, and warm greetings from the Wiegstraat team!
