Genius told me I have "Water-Damage"

Are there any other water damage indicators except my photo? Should i tell them i changed my keys?

@umuthope NOTHING they can use against you - that includes the key swap.

@umuthope - I agree with Nick your system from what we see has not liquid damage so I'm at a loss what the Genius told you otherwise.

If you have an Apple Store near you I would go their Vs an authorized service center as sometimes these folks don't get paid quickly from Apple which could explain them turning you away or convince you to a paid job vs warranty.

If you did go to an Apple Store make sure you don't get the same person.

And hold your ground! Have them prove it and take a picture of what they claim and post it here for us to see.

@umuthope Do they have laws in Turkey shifting the burden of proof onto the manufacturer like we do in the US?

All we have to do here is exactly what I told you - prove it or fix it with most caving in unless they have irrefutable proof. The laws here (and in some cases, lemon laws) allow us to stand our ground when they pull this card. They may put up a fight to avoid the repair citing the same false water damage line.

Yes! We have consumer protection laws but during coronavirus outbreak they are postponed. I added there are currency changes between USD and TR(Turkish Lira) and not a lot of Turkish consumers uses iMac or Macbook. I think there are not many authorized personel like in USA. The iPhone service experience and macbook service experience are not same. I am just sad that i didn't figure out earlier. I could take actions much earlier. I also inspected some of my keyboards key and didn't find any corrosion.
