If liquid has gone into the laptop, stop trying to power it on. More power attempts can turn a small spill into a bigger motherboard fault.

BitSupport checks corrosion, short circuits and damaged board components before quoting. WhatsApp the model, what spilled, when it happened, and whether the laptop still powers on.

Liquid damage is unpredictable, so quote-before-repair matters. The right next step depends on how far the spill travelled, whether corrosion has started, and which circuits are affected.

What to do after a spill

Switch it off, unplug it and stop trying to test it. WhatsApp the model, what spilled and when it happened.

Why corrosion gets worse

Liquid residue can keep eating tracks and components even after the laptop looks dry.

Board inspection and cleaning

We inspect the board, clean affected areas and check whether corrosion has damaged components or tracks.

Short circuit checks

Spills often create short circuits on power rails, charging circuits or keyboard-related areas.

When it may not be repairable

If corrosion has eaten tracks under major chips, liquid reached too many areas, or the board is badly burned, we will explain the risk before repair work continues.
