I have removed the LED driver on my Macbook Air because it needed to be replaced do to water damage (actually it was honey/syrup salad dressing). I used a hot air station to remove the driver. Worked great and it came right off but I am worried that I ruined the component next to it on the left (U3210) I have attached a picture. Here you can see that U3210 has brown gunk around it. This was sizzling and bubbling when I was removing the driver for backlight. Is this maybe just the sugar that was coming off (from the syrupy dressing)? Does this need to be replaced? How can I tell? Any input here would be helpful After removing the driver, I wicked the pads and removed the excess junk with alcohol. Does this look decent? I am afraid that I ripped a pad off?
the brown stuff is called underfill they use it at the factory so solder doesn’t get everywhere i think your fine be careful with cleaning the pads they can break cuz they are held in with glue
