I got a macbook pro from a friend and it had some water damage. When I was disabling it, a component fell off.



I don't know what it is but all I am trying to do is get it work. Might be a stupid question but do I really need it? lol Thanks to anyone ahead of time who replies and sorry if I am posting in the wrong area.
 
Well so did I but can you tell me what it is? THAT is \I guess what I am asking lol

Yes, I would think you need that.

o rly?
 
Well I assumed I did, I just figured I'd ask if otherwise. But do you know of a way to find it?
 
Well, quite honestly, from the looks of those board I would say - throw it away. There is corrosion everywhere.
 
All off the corrosion wiped off with alcohol. Did a full wipe down. I can have the board fixed i think. I just really need to find the part and if I can't I am going to send it out
 
You can find plenty of good information on this thread:

Despite the thread's title, it isn't limited to the 13 inch MBPs, and you might find your model there, or where to find information for it; it has become a very long thread, with a lot of really good how-to information.

I hope that you can save it—good luck.
