How to prepare a water-exposed SSD before connecting it to enclosure?

Some drops of liquid came into contact with this SSD after coffee spilled on laptop. Laptop no longer functions, enclosure on the way. A drop was observed around where the arrow is. I merely applied a paper towel to it, several days ago, but didn’t do anything else. I am unsure of what I’m looking at on the boundary between the board and the package. Is it a gap, or sealed with adhesive, or epoxy? Should I try to clean it with isopropyl alcohol, or is it safe to connect to power as is? Would the alcohol damage the package on the side facing up?

This does not look like an Apple Samsung SSD!

Here’s a great resource to identify the custom Apple SSD’s made for them by Samsung, Toshiba and SanDisk The Ultimate Guide to Apple’s Proprietary SSDs

Let’s first properly ID your SSD as until we do that we just don’t know what you are facing here.

It is! Came from a Macbook Air purchased new at an Apple store. Label says Samsung. Just looking at the other side.

@klutz - Post images of the top and bottom

@danj Added one more pic. The other side resembles the picture in the previous question. Is the pictured package sealed to the board, or can water get through, and will isopropyl alcohol damage anything?

I wish you have just given me a flat on picture so I could ID your SSD. Luckly you caught enough of the label that I could read it in your second image!

So here is your SSD

And if we where to take off the black label this is what you would see!

I would carefully remove the black cover to expose the solder joints under them so the water or isopropyl alcohol can get to them and I would use an ultrasonic as you need the agitation it offers to get into these tight places.

Good sleuthing. It seems however that the covering is more rigid than just a label, maybe a metal shield? I wonder, though, whether there is a seal or a gap between it and the board. All the circuitry seems to be separated a bit from the edges as well. I think removing it might risk fracturing some of the lead-free solder joints as well. Leaning towards just connecting it to the enclosure without any treatment at all. Is this a bad idea? Does the relatively low power that would be sent through it pose a great risk?

It was intended to be a heat distribution solution which was not used later on. Yes, it's a bit more than a thin printed label but it's still glued on. And without removing it you can't get to all of the needed surfaces to clean.

tarafından

Update: Connected SSD to enclosure after merely allowing it to dry for two weeks. Left cover on, and did not use any rubbing alcohol or cleaning equipment. Worked, and was able to recover all my data. The second picture you posted gave me hope that no liquid actually made it far enough to touch anything electrical, due to the distance between cover and circuitry, and the quantity of liquid which made it to the SSD, and it seems I was correct. YMMV, of course.

tarafından

@klutz - Your very lucky! In any case I wouldn't depend on it as it could die again and this time it may not be recoverable!

tarafından

Indeed. It's not a very good storage solution these days either-- not a lot of storage, and not terribly fast. The visible liquid was all in a contiguous drop, so maybe it never even touched anything. Visual inspection suggests to me that the adhesive does *not* form a complete seal. So, saved by surface tension.
