Spilled water, coffee or wine on your laptop? Every hour counts. Power it off, don’t charge it, and get it to us fast — we recover liquid-damaged boards that other shops and manufacturers write off.
⚡ Act within 24–48 hours for the best chance of a full recovery
UK-wide mail-in · No fix, no fee · Boards recovered that others won’t touch · Repaired personally by Sorin
Water and electronics don’t mix — but it’s rarely the water itself that kills a board. It’s the corrosion that follows. Within hours, minerals and salts from the liquid start bridging circuits and eating into the copper traces. Within days, that corrosion works its way under the chips and through the fine solder joints, often permanently.
This is why speed matters so much. A board that reaches us within 24–48 hours of the spill has a dramatically higher recovery rate than one that sat for a week while its owner hoped it would dry out on its own.
Here’s the difference: most repair shops — and the manufacturers themselves — answer liquid damage with a full motherboard replacement, or simply write the laptop off. We repair the board itself: ultrasonically cleaning away the corrosion and replacing only the individual components the liquid has shorted. That typically costs a fraction of a new board, and saves machines other shops won’t even open.
Drying a laptop out doesn’t reverse liquid damage — it just hides it. Genuine recovery means getting inside the machine, removing every last trace of corrosion, and repairing the board at component level. Here’s exactly what happens when your laptop reaches the bench:
What you do in the first few minutes has a real effect on what’s recoverable. Follow these steps before the laptop reaches us.

An exceptional technician with a deep knowledge and understanding of electronics and especially laptops. Probably the best ‘all round’ technician in the UK. Old school, deep electronics understanding. Ohms Law god.
I started following Sorin's channel on YouTube quite a few years ago. I have learned so much from him and there were a few jobs I couldn't handle that I sent to him. In all cases he was able to fix my customer's devices at a very reasonable cost. Highly recommended!
Cel mai bun! The Best there is ! Not only fixing but teaching also.
One of the few very skilled laptop repair, that is humble and had a lot of electronic knowledge. I definitely recommend it!
Honest guy. You can trust that he will repair your electronics if they are fixable.
