Here’s another good example of why you shouldn’t just leave your laptop or phone to dry out and hope for the best after it’s suffered serious liquid damage.
The corrosion on this laptop was so bad that it actually ate all the way through the board. Our technicians are good, and they’ve performed near-miracles on occasion, but even they have their limits! Even if this laptop board had been repairable, the amount of work required likely would have made it not economically worthwhile.
Why does this happen? Devices only dry out slowly, and as they do so, the dissolved substances- the things that actually cause the damage- get concentrated and left behind, causing further damage to your phone, laptop or tablet.

We’re good, but even we have our limits! Sometimes things are fixable, sometimes it has to be admitted that they… aren’t. Here’s an example of the latter.
Here’s a Microsoft XBox Series X console that came in to our Dundee store with a faulty HDMI port that needed repaired and replaced.
Apple launched their iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pro ranges in autumn 2023 along with the larger Apple iPhone 15 Plus and the Apple iPhone 15 Pro Max. We’re pleased to announce that we can offer a range of repair services for those models, from our shop in Dundee centre, including screen, battery, charging port, ear speaker, glass and housing replacement and more.
Here’s a quick look at a screen replacement our technician carried out on a Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra a customer brought in to our Dundee shop.
We’ve included photographs of the old screen (“before”) and new screen (“after”). This was a fairly straightforward and- of course!- successful repair.
Here’s why water damage can be very bad news and why you should bring your laptop to us for repair as soon as possible rather than leaving it to dry out and hoping for the best. Read More
Here’s a quick look at a screen replacement one of our technicians did for an Apple iPhone XS brought into our Dundee store. From the original broken XS screen to the final testing, this one was as good as new once it was done.
