TouchID sensor failure and way to fix?
I was recently given a Mac Air 2018 which was dead with moisture damage.
I managed to get it going but ran into security issues. The previous owner and I went to the Genius Bar - so no ID issues, and they reverted it to factory settings and reinstalled Big Sur, but the fingerprint key does not work. Can anything be done?

When you say you got it going, what sorts of things did you do? Where did the liquid in the machine go/what components did it affect?

The only components that were damaged were the audio socket, the ribbon to it and the battery. Replacement fixed the laptop. So I think only the top right hand corner of the machine got damp. and not badly, but there was corrosion.
