Liquid damage assessment and repair
Spilt drink inside a laptop keeps working its way through the machine, so switching it on again is the thing that does the real damage. Bring it to us switched off. The board can then be cleaned and tested before any power goes through it.
Signs that point to this
- A drink went over the keyboard, even if it seems fine now
- Keys behaving oddly days after a spill
- A smell of burning, or the machine getting hot in one spot
- A machine that stopped days after an accident you had forgotten about
What the visit covers

- Cleaning of the corrosion that the liquid leaves behind
