This MacBook arrived after a reported battery failure inside the computer, with visibly burned keys and no power. The video records its initial condition and our intended diagnostic work. It is the beginning of the case, with repair and data-recovery results still unconfirmed.

The condition at intake

The owner reported that the battery blew up inside the MacBook. The footage shows the damaged keyboard area while the technician describes the concern. The extent of logic-board damage has not yet been established.

The planned repair and diagnostic work

Our planned work is to diagnose the MacBook, replace the battery and affected keys, and assess damage to the logic board. The findings will determine what else is needed to make the computer work again.

The customer’s information is a priority

The goal is to preserve or recover the customer’s information while assessing the repair. A goal is not a confirmed result: this intake video does not show a completed repair, a working MacBook or successful data recovery.

If your files are the priority, tell the technician before work begins so the evaluation can account for that goal.

Follow the case from its starting point

Real repair stories are useful even before a result is known. This video shows the starting condition and explains what needs investigation. A later outcome should be documented separately once it has been verified.
