Liquid Damaged Laptop or Device?

The short answer is yes, but it’s important to act quickly. Please refrain from powering on your laptop after a spill. Instead, turn it off, remove the battery if possible, and open the lid to allow it to air out until a professional can assist you. Avoid using a hot hair dryer to dry the computer, as this could cause further damage. If you contact a technician for a liquid damage procedure within 3 to 4 days of the spill, the success rate for Tech!Espresso® to restore your device is approximately 95%.

While it is possible to repair your liquid-damaged laptop yourself, it's important to have the technical skills needed to fully dismantle and reassemble your device. We recommend having a professional liquid damage repair specialist handle it to prevent any further damage. However, if you’re confident in your abilities, here’s a video that can guide you through the process. You'll need 96% isopropyl alcohol, a soft toothbrush, and a variety of tools to help you dismantle your computer.

We offer a fixed-or-free policy, ensuring that you won't be charged for our services if we're unable to repair your liquid-damaged computer or device. It's worth noting that we have an impressive success rate of nearly 95%, so the likelihood of a successful repair is quite high. In the unlikely event that we can't complete the repair, we can still recover files from your internal drive if you'd like.

Considering all scenarios, it often makes more sense to have your computer repaired directly in your home, where you use it daily. This allows the technician to inspect your Wi-Fi network, cables, power outlets, and printer connections for any potential issues—something that's not possible in a shop setting. Additionally, you won't need to leave your personal computer with strangers for an unknown period of time, you’ll receive faster service, and the technician can focus entirely on your specific needs. In-home service rates are often comparable to those of bring-in shops. It's also important to note that remote services are only available when your computer is in working condition and can connect to the internet.

The mobile technicians from Tech!Espresso® arrive equipped with all the essential tools, software, and spare parts needed to provide focused, personalized service directly at your home. This approach allows for a more attentive experience tailored to your specific needs, rather than having your computer serviced in a shop. Based on feedback from our customers, many feel that the quality of mobile services far surpasses that of traditional shop repairs.

We have technicians stationed throughout Calgary and Edmonton, ready to assist local residents with a minimal travel fee of just $10 per visit. Additionally, we are happy to travel up to 70 km from the city limits to surrounding areas, charging only $1/km (one-way) for the trip to your location.
