Laptop Liquid Damage Repair in Beckenham

A spilt drink does not have to be the end of your laptop, but what you do next matters. Home Computer Repairs cleans and repairs liquid-damaged laptops of all makes.

What to do straight away

1. Switch it off and unplug the charger. Hold the power button down if you have to.
2. Do not switch it back on to see if it still works.
3. Turn it upside down, open like a tent, so liquid drains away from the motherboard.
4. Skip the hairdryer and the bag of rice. Neither removes liquid from inside the laptop.
5. Call us on 020 8658 4366 and get it to us as soon as you can.

How the repair works

Liquid causes corrosion and short circuits that get worse with time, so speed matters more than anything. We open the laptop, clean the affected boards and connectors, replace parts that cannot be saved, such as the keyboard, and test everything before it goes back together.

For Apple laptops, see Mac liquid damage. If the laptop cannot be saved, we can usually still recover your data.
