Apple warranty coverage on third-party repairs
Hi,
My macbook air recently got liquid damage which resulted in a complete data loss. Since the lost data (university assignments, coursework, important uni documents etc.) is very important, I'm going forward with another third-party service for data recovery since apple doesn't offer those services in-house. Following this, I will then be giving in my laptop to Apple to replace the damaged hardware components.
However, the third-party mentioned that they will be soldering off the memory from the motherboard and then resoldering it back on so I was just wondering if this third-party tampering has any possibility of resulting in my AppleCare+ warranty getting voided?
If anyone's had any experience with a similar situation or knows more about what this would look like, please let me know what you'd recommend doing, thanks!
MacBook Air, macOS 14.1
