Honest, Upfront Assessment
Not every water-damaged device can be saved. We tell you what’s realistic before any work or cost begins.

Won’t Power On
No response at all when pressing the power button, or it powers on then shuts off after a few seconds.
Sticky or Unresponsive Keys
Common after drink spills. Keys stick, double-type, or stop registering entirely.
Screen Flickering or Discoloured
Water reaching the display cable or panel can cause flickering, lines, or patchy dark spots.
Battery Not Charging
Corrosion on the charging circuit can stop the battery from charging even when plugged in correctly.
What to Do (and Not Do) Before You Bring It In
What you do in the first few minutes after a spill can make the difference between a full recovery and permanent damage.
- ✓Do power the device off immediately, even if it still seems to be working.
- ✓Do unplug it and remove the battery if it’s easily removable.
- ✓Don’t try to turn it back on “just to check” — this is what causes short circuits.
- ✓Don’t use a hairdryer or leave it in a bag of rice. Both can push moisture deeper in or add debris.
- ✓Do bring it in as soon as possible, ideally the same day.
