Short circuits and corrosion
Our liquid damage repair engineers strip down, clean and dry the board to stop the damage spreading.
Sticky and sugary spills
Coffee, fizzy drinks and juice leave sticky, conductive residue that keeps causing faults. We ultrasonically clean the affected parts to remove every trace. Liquid damage repair removes conductive residue completely.
When the laptop still will not start
If your laptop is dead after a spill, individual components may need repair or replacement. We diagnose the board and recover your data wherever possible. Booking liquid damage repair quickly gives the best chance of rescue.
