Liquid Damage & Soldering

Common issues Caused By Liquid Damage

Liquid spills can cause serious internal damage, even if the device initially appears to be working. The sooner a device is assessed, the better the chance of successful repair.

Common symptoms include:

Device Not Powering On

Liquid can cause short circuits or damage to power circuits and internal components.

Keyboard Not Working or Sticky Keys

Spills frequently damage laptop keyboards or cause key failure over time.

Corrosion of Internal Components

Moisture can begin corroding internal parts within hours, leading to long-term reliability issues.

Unresponsive Touchpad or Screen

Liquid can affect input components, ribbon cables or board connections.

Charging & Power Issues

Liquid damage may affect charging circuits, batteries or internal connectors.

OUR LIQUID DAMAGE REPAIR PROCESS

Liquid damage repairs require careful internal inspection — not just drying the device.

If components such as keyboards, batteries or internal boards are beyond repair, we can replace them using quality parts.

We will always confirm costs before proceeding with any parts replacement.

Liquid Damage FAQ

What should I do immediately after liquid damage?

Turn the device off immediately and do not attempt to charge it. Avoid powering it back on until it has been professionally assessed.

Can liquid damage be fully repaired?

In many cases, yes — but it depends on the type of liquid, how quickly the device was powered off, and how long corrosion has been present.

Do you charge for liquid damage diagnosis?

In most cases, no. If parts or consumables are required during assessment, this will always be confirmed beforehand.

How long does liquid damage repair take?

Turnaround varies depending on severity and parts availability. We will provide realistic expectations after inspection.

Do you offer mail-in liquid damage repairs?

Yes. You can self-post your device to us by selecting “Self Post” on our repair form, or we can arrange collection and return delivery for £19.99.
