Laptop Liquid Damage Repair

Tea, coffee, water or another spill — the sooner the laptop is switched off and sent in, the better the chance of a full recovery. I clean the board and replace damaged components where possible, from £60.

  • From £60 repair (after diagnosis)
  • Board cleaned, damaged parts replaced
  • 30-day warranty
Symptoms

Common signs of liquid damage

Won't turn on after a spill

Dead since the spill

The laptop stopped working completely at, or shortly after, the moment of the spill.

Keys sticking or not responding

Keyboard affected

Some keys stick, feel spongy, don't register, or repeat on their own since the spill.

Visible corrosion or staining

Residue inside or outside

Staining, stickiness, or green/white corrosion visible around the keyboard, ports or when opened up.

Intermittent faults since the spill

Random shutdowns, freezing, or faults that appear and disappear, starting from the time of the spill.

Not every liquid-damaged board can be saved, especially if it was switched back on or left for a long time after the spill. If I cannot repair your laptop, you pay only the diagnosis fee.
Process

How it works

  1. Switch it off and send it now. Turn it off immediately, don't turn it back on to check, and don't apply heat to dry it — just get it to me as soon as you can.
  2. Send or drop it off. Post it tracked and insured from anywhere in the UK, or drop it off locally in Coventry.
  3. Diagnosis and quote. I clean and inspect the board, then send you a fixed quote before any repair work starts.
  4. Repair, test and return. Once you approve, I repair the fault, test the laptop, and send it back tracked — covered by a 30-day warranty.
FAQ

Questions

What should I do right now if I've just spilled something?

Switch the laptop off immediately, don't turn it back on to test it, don't use a hairdryer or heater on it, and send it to me as soon as possible — time matters a lot with liquid damage.

Can you recover my data?

In most cases yes, even if the board itself can't be fully repaired, the storage drive can often still be read separately.
