Phone, tablet, iPad, MacBook and Windows laptop water damage recovery, ultrasonic board clean, corrosion repair, post-water screen and battery work, plus data recovery from drowned devices. Free assessment and a clear quote before any work. No-fix / no-fee.
Why timing matters
Liquid damage is a race against corrosion. The moment water, coffee or juice gets inside a phone, tablet, iPad, MacBook or laptop, it starts to eat the contacts and traces on the logic board, and it keeps going while the device sits. So don't wait, and don't try to charge it. Power it off and bring it in. The sooner we open it, the more of the board we can save.
Most water-damaged devices need more than a part swap. We pull the logic board, bathe it in solvent and ultrasonically clean it to lift corrosion and residue, then inspect every component under magnification and rework any lifted pad or shorted chip before we put it back together. Once the board is sound, we replace whatever the water actually killed: a swollen battery, a foggy screen, a corroded charging port. If files matter more than the device itself, we can usually recover photos and contacts even when it won't power on.
One recent example, from a customer's own review: a Galaxy S20 FE with serious salt-water corrosion. Two other shops had opened it and said the photos and contacts couldn't be retrieved. We cleaned the board and got back five years of contacts and photos.
Every device gets a free assessment first: we open it, photograph the damage and give you a plain go / no-go before any labour is billed. If we can't recover it, you don't pay for the diagnostic. That's our no-fix / no-fee policy. It's all done in-house at our Courtice store at 2 Glenabbey Dr, Unit 5, with customers coming in from Oshawa, Bowmanville, Whitby and Clarington. Nothing gets mailed to a depot you never meet.

As fast as possible, corrosion starts within minutes. Power the device OFF, don't try to charge it, and bring it in same-day if you can. The earlier we open it up, the higher the recovery rate.
In most cases yes. We can pull data off the board even when the device is dead, phones, tablets, iPads, MacBooks and Windows laptops. We assess data-recovery feasibility on the same diagnostic.
No, it doesn't work, and the longer you wait the worse the corrosion. Skip the rice, bring it in. Free diagnosis the same day.
Yes, both MacBook Air/Pro and Windows laptops (Lenovo, HP, Dell, ASUS, Acer). Sugary liquids are worse than plain water but most are recoverable if you bring it in fast.
No-fix / no-fee, if we can't get it working, you don't pay for the diagnostic. Data recovery (if successful) is quoted separately and only billed on successful recovery.
90-day warranty on the parts we install. Cleaning and labour are not covered, and it does not cover further liquid exposure or hidden long-term corrosion that surfaces after the warranty window.
Phone Studio does. Free water-damage assessment before any repair, at our one storefront in Courtice, serving Oshawa, Bowmanville, Whitby and Durham Region. No-fix / no-fee if we can't get the device working.
