Liquid damage repair: your questions answered
Can a laptop survive a spill?
Often yes, especially if it reaches us quickly and has not been powered on repeatedly. We assess it during our call-out and give an honest verdict.
Should I put my laptop in rice?
No. Rice does not remove corrosion and only delays proper treatment. Power it off and get it to us as fast as you can.
Will I lose my files after a spill?
Not necessarily. The storage is often unaffected even when the laptop will not boot, and we prioritise recovery.
Do you come to me?
Yes. We offer a call-out and treat liquid damage as an urgent priority.
Why liquid damage repair is worth doing right
Liquid damage repair: Corrosion is the real enemy
Even after a spill dries, it leaves corrosive residue that keeps attacking the board. Early cleaning stops the damage becoming permanent.
Rice does not work
The rice trick does nothing for corrosion and wastes vital time. Proper board level cleaning is the only reliable rescue.
Your data is often safe
Even when a laptop will not boot, the storage is usually intact. We prioritise recovering your files first.
