Laptop Water Damage Repair

We will be able to answer this question only after we open the laptop case and see the extent of the damage.

Here are some factors that may affect the situation:

• The amount of liquid that got inside the case
• Type of liquid (the content of sugar, minerals and other impurities)
• The first steps to save the laptop and how to dry it before the gadget was delivered to the service center
• The amount of time that passed after the incident and before the laptop was delivered to the service center, etc.

In such situations, it is very important to react correctly – immediately turn off the laptop, turn it over and dry it, and take it to a service center as soon as possible. This way you minimize damage.

Keep in mind that delay will lead to more serious problems. Components will oxidize and may be damaged. But do not try to open the laptop case yourself! Your hope that you will dry and clean the gadget can lead to irreparable consequences.

When the damage is small, it is enough to clean the laptop. At Repairs Bay, this service costs $150. However, if the liquid has damaged the matrix and other important components, the laptop water damage repair cost will be higher.

We recommend that you contact specialists immediately after the incident to reduce the risks. This will help to avoid too much damage to the components and stop the chemical reactions in the laptop in time.

When Repairs Bay engineers open the case of the gadget, they will be able to diagnose and assess the extent of the damage. We will determine how much liquid has entered the laptop and what work is required to clean and restore the laptop. After that, we will discuss with you the cost of the laptop water damage repair and only after your consent, we will begin the repair.

Unfortunately, such situations are possible. Most often, a laptop cannot be repaired if the owner has not taken timely measures to save the gadget.

Also, some users make a fatal mistake and turn on a gadget that has not yet dried completely and has not been diagnosed at a service center. As a result of a short circuit, the most important parts of the laptop suffer and it becomes even more difficult to restore the gadget.

However, if you quickly take all the necessary measures and contact the service center, you will have a better chance of restoring your gadget.

For example, you can turn to Repairs Bay, which has modern diagnostic equipment, a good technical base and experienced engineers.

The most dangerous thing is if the spilled liquid penetrates the motherboard, which is located behind the keyboard, and the laptop is turned on. In this case, disaster is inevitable.

The only thing that can delay the penetration of liquid is the film under the keyboard. But, unfortunately, not all keyboards have such a protective layer, so the liquid can instantly get into any corner of the case.

Also, the type of liquid can play a role. The higher the content of sugar and salts in the liquid, the more aggressively it acts on the components of the laptop. Worst of all for a laptop are sugary drinks, hot coffee, and milk. Gadgets suffer the least from pure water and alcohol-containing products.
