Laptop Repair
A water spill is a serious issue for a laptop: liquid can short the motherboard and start corrosion, and a laptop that is left alone may stop working for good. Take immediate steps after an accident and bring the device to Quick Fix by iFix in Midtown Manhattan. We have been dealing with laptop water damage for more than 15 years. We inspect the machine, find the affected parts and give you a quote before any repair. Fill out simple details in the form or walk in with the laptop.
We repair laptops after water, coffee, soda and other liquid spills: corroded motherboards, dead keyboards, stained screens and laptops that won’t power on or charge. Diagnostic $99, credited toward the repair, then a quote you approve before any repair. Liquid damage repairs have no warranty.

- Shut it down. Hold the power button until the laptop turns off. Don’t wait for it to save files or finish an update.
- Unplug it. Disconnect the charger and every cable, USB drive and accessory.
- Remove the battery only if it is user-removable. Most current laptops have the battery screwed or glued inside. Don’t open the case to get to it.
- Tilt it keyboard-down. Open the lid and set the laptop upside down like a tent, so the liquid drains out through the keyboard instead of running onto the motherboard. Wipe off what you can with a dry cloth.
- No rice, no hair dryer. Rice does not pull liquid out of a laptop, and hot air can push it deeper and warp parts.
- Bring it in soon. Don’t turn it back on to test it. Corrosion keeps working while the laptop sits, so the sooner we open it, the better the odds.
Laptop Liquid Damage Repair for Various Brands
Any fluid, be it water, rain, coffee or soda, is harmful to a laptop. As soon as the device makes contact with a liquid, the chances of short circuits are higher. Adding to it, liquid has minerals and salts that start corroding various components, and sugary drinks leave sticky residue under the keys. So, bring your system to our store.

Signs of Laptop Water Damage and Components We Fix
Some laptops die right after a spill; others keep working for a few days and then fail as corrosion spreads. Typical signs: the laptop won’t power on or won’t charge, keys stop working or type the wrong letters, the screen shows stains or discoloration, the speakers sound distorted, or the laptop shuts down on its own. Whatever the symptom, we check the whole device. Out of many, some major components we fix as part of laptop repair after a spill are
- Screen
- Battery
- Speakers
- Buttons
- Keyboard
- Trackpad
- Motherboard
- Charging port
- Hinges and case
A keyboard that took most of the spill often needs a laptop keyboard replacement even when the motherboard is fine. From June to October 2026 the five iFix stores, Quick Fix included, took in 40+ laptops with liquid damage, 10+ of them at this Midtown store.
How It Works at Our Midtown Store
- Bring the laptop in – Walk in to 347 Fifth Ave, 15th Floor, Suite 1502, or send the quote form first. Bring the charger, and tell us what was spilled and when.
- Diagnostic – We open the laptop and inspect the motherboard, keyboard, battery, screen and ports for liquid and corrosion, using a multimeter and diagnostic software to find shorts.
- Quote – You get a quote with the parts, the price and the timing. Nothing is repaired until you approve it. If the repair costs more than the laptop is worth, we tell you.
- Cleaning and repair – We clean the corrosion off the board, repair or replace the damaged parts, and test the laptop before you pick it up.
What about my files? We try to keep your data intact, but liquid can damage the storage too, so we can’t promise every file will survive. If you have a backup, tell us. If the laptop won’t start and you need the files, data recovery is quoted separately after the diagnostic.
Why Bring a Wet Laptop to Quick Fix
Experienced Team: Quick Fix staff have handled laptops that soaked up liquid for 15+ years, from a glass of water to a full cup of coffee.
Parts Options: Parts options depend on your device model and repair. Before work begins, we explain the available option and confirm it with you. We purchase spare components from trusted suppliers.
Deep Inspections: Liquid hides under shields and connectors, so we open the laptop and check the board, keyboard, battery and ports, not only the spot that got wet.
Convenient Service: Walk in to our shop in Midtown Manhattan, or ship the laptop to us with mail-in support if you can’t come by.
Clear Price: Our laptop water damage repair cost is based on various factors like the extent of the damage, the replacement parts and the labor. After diagnosis, we will provide you with a price estimation.
Warranty: Liquid damage repairs have no warranty, because corrosion can keep spreading after the repair. We explain the risks with the quote.
