Need Personal Advice on Your Repair?
Speak directly with a technician for straightforward guidance on your symptoms and available appointment times.
Call +44 800 054 6750What is the very first thing I should do if I spill liquid on my laptop?
Disconnect the charger immediately! Press and hold the power button for 10 seconds to force a complete shutdown. Do NOT plug it back in, and do NOT place it in rice (rice dust enters cooling vents and does not stop internal corrosion). Call us right away.
My laptop dried out and turned on fine. Am I safe?
Unfortunately, no. As water evaporates, dissolved minerals remain behind. Over days and weeks, these minerals react with atmospheric moisture and electrical current to corrode copper traces until the board suddenly fails.
Can you recover my documents and photos if the laptop is ruined?
Yes. On most laptops, the storage drive (M.2 NVMe SSD or 2.5-inch drive) is separate from the keyboard area and often survives liquid spills. We can safely remove it and transfer your files.
Does placing a wet laptop in rice help?
No! Placing electronics in rice is a harmful myth. Rice absorbs moisture very slowly, introduces starchy powder into cooling fans and ports, and does nothing to clean conductive sugars and acids from circuit boards.
