Liquid damage laptop repair in Dublin
Time matters more than anything else here. Power off, unplug, don't try to dry it with heat, and get it to me quickly — corrosion keeps spreading inside for days after the spill, long after the machine appears to work again.

Common questions
It still works after the spill — do I need anything done?
Yes. Corrosion continues under the surface and machines commonly fail weeks later. A clean now costs far less than a total failure later.
Can you always save it?
No. Liquid damage is the least predictable repair there is. I assess first and tell you honestly — and if it can't be saved, I still get your data off it.
