Hi I spilled a little bit of coffee on my laptop 2 months ago and 2 weeks ago my laptop won’t turn on and it was diagnosed that the logic board needs repairing, so is there any way i can bring it back to life without repairing?
This is one of the best protected machines as far a spill go. It seldom gets past the cover on the bottom of the keyboard. I would suspect a shorted keyboard and power on switch. To test this hypothesis, disconnect the Thunderbolt power and disconnect the battery from the logic board. Press and hold the power on for ten seconds. Now hook the battery back up and plug the power back in. If you get a spontaneous reboot, replace the keyboard. Here’s how to get to the battery: MacBook Pro 13" Function Keys Late 2016 Battery Replacement MacBook Pro 13" Retina (Function Keys, Late 2016-2017) Keyboard
What likely has happened is the coffee got onto the logic board slowly rotting the connections and shorting out components. Think of what happens when you have a piece of bread get moldy in one corner before you know it, the mold has found its way across the loaf. While I’ll say this is a bit dramatic of an example, the coffee spill was festering in the same way. Sadly, you’ll need to get the logic board repaired or replaced.
