Trade in water damaged macbook air

Can I trade in a water damaged macbook air for some credit? It turns on and works perfectly fine, but touchpad is unresponsive and external speakers won’t work. The computer guy told me that it didn’t seem like the motherboard was damaged, just the touchpad and speakers.

You will need to disclose the damage in advance.


The third party partner company handling computer trade ins will most likely simply return your device.


Water damaged electronic devices may stop working altogether suddenly as the metal parts corrode further.
