Depending on the stage of the liquid damage it could have just started corroding electronic components or already shorted and damaged traces or components. 

If corrosion has not damaged components, we usually can clean the oxidation.

However, if the corrosion has damaged traces and components fell off when we clean them, then we need to attempt Motherboard Repair. Motherboard Repair involves replacing corroded and faulty components and recreating any corroded traces.

It is difficult to guess what the issue is without taking the Laptop apart, Measuring Internal Electronics and starting the Repair Process.

Mostly though, not turning on Laptop  require a Motherboard Repair. Especially if there is a Liquid Damage History.

Either way, this falls under the Laptop Motherboard Repair category.

It all depends on what happened to it. But in general, if the repair cost is half or less of a price of a new one we highly encourage to get them repaired. 

That’s mainly because all electronics fail one way or another. It is predominantly caused by accidents such as liquid damage, impact on the screen, lack of service, etc. The new Laptop  may follow the same fate as the old one, as people’s habits do not change easily.

We see liquid Damaged Laptops and Broken Screen Laptops daily in our Adelaide Laptop Repair Centre. Often on the same customer.

We understand that it is stressful to be without the Laptop while it is in for Repair. But Laptop Repairs are not straightforward, as they all are designed with fused parts. On top of that, Manufacturers do their best to prevent any kind of Repairs on their laptops. This creates a challenge in diagnosing symptoms, locating faults, sourcing documentation and schematics even finding chips.

Most of the Laptop Repairs in our Adelaide Workshop take under a week. 

If new need to order parts from interstate suppliers, add another week. Or a month if we need parts from our international suppliers.
