macbook professional – Webcam connector and socket ripped off. Can I do something to restore it?

I’m sorry this occurred. It appears to be like just like the connector was corroded, maybe liquid and salt. What occurred is the connector ripped the hint off the logic board (and that connector itself was ripped off, however typically it’s a cleaner break), so you will have micro sort soldering instruments and abilities to try a restore.

That half wss designed to remain mounted to the floor and solely the cable slide out with a small connector shifting parallel to the board and never lifted off perpendicular.

A great restore guide or extra coaching is a should do step earlier than making an attempt the rest.

Apple will repair this in a flat charge restore and probably cowl it below Apple Care plus for a deductible (which might be beneficiant since this appears to be like to be a transparent lower technician mistake or unintentional harm).

We would wish to know why you selected to take away this as a part of cleansing however I’m going to imagine you want knowledgeable opinion as most cleaners would cease earlier than eradicating this half if there’s seen corrosion or why it wanted cleansing.

I might be disinclined to energy up this Mac till it’s inspected for the reason that traces seem like there may very well be {an electrical} quick on the board that may be powered even in case you left the online digital camera cable indifferent.
