I was the service manager at an Apple Authorized Service Provider and some rich fuckwit brought in his top-end MacBook Pro he bought a few weeks earlier that he'd spilled water all over. It was completely unresponsive and all the water indicator stickers were flagging, so he'd have to pay a large fee and he opted to just buy a new one. I had him sign a release form, I removed all the water indicator stickers, disassembled and carefully cleaned the entire thing and put it back together. Sent it in to Apple for a warranty replacement and they replaced the entire unit except the display and sent it back to me good as new. That was 10 years ago and I still use the device daily for 3D modeling and rendering and it's still an absolute beast.
Well played.
Best scam ever. Too bad you can’t do it any more. Ah, the old days where it was just stickers tattling on your accidental damage
