Meet the Atlantis Senior Engineering Team
Our senior UK engineering team at Atlantis has been providing expert hardware solutions for over 20 years. Liquid damage is one of the most complex issues a technician can face. Our team uses advanced microscopic diagnostics to locate high-resistance shorts and power rail failures caused by corrosion. Every iPad repair is handled with surgical precision, ensuring the best possible chance for your device and data.
Process & Protection
- Full Disassembly: The device is completely stripped to access the logic board.
- Chemical Pre-Wash: Removing visible residue from tea, coffee, or sugary drinks.
- Ultrasonic Treatment: Submerging the board in a vibrating chemical bath to clear microscopic corrosion under IC chips.
- Thermal Drying: Moisture is meticulously removed using controlled dehydration chambers.
- Diagnostic Assessment: We test the board for functionality and provide a quote for any required component replacements.
Common Symptoms Fixed
- iPad is completely dead and won't turn on.
- Device is stuck in a boot loop or on the Apple logo.
- Overheating issues shortly after the liquid spill.
- Flickering display or vertical lines on the screen.
- Non-responsive touch or malfunctioning physical buttons.

Questions and Answers
What is the success rate for water damage repair? While no one can guarantee 100% success with liquid damage, our ultrasonic treatment drastically improves the odds of a successful fix compared to standard air-drying methods. We give you a clear, honest appraisal of the board health.
Does the £59.99 fee cover the full repair? The £59.99 fee covers the professional disassembly, chemical treatment, and diagnostic work. If the device requires new components (like a screen or battery) to be fully functional, we will provide a separate quote for those parts.
People Also Ask (Q&A)
Should I put my water-damaged iPad in rice? No. Rice can actually trap moisture and introduce dust into the ports. The best course of action is to turn the device off immediately and send it to Atlantis for professional ultrasonic cleaning.
Can you fix an iPad that has been in saltwater? Saltwater is highly corrosive. It requires immediate professional intervention. Our ultrasonic bath is designed to neutralize salt deposits that regular drying cannot reach.

Technical Details
The iPad 1 through 4 models use a logic board design with relatively large SMD (Surface Mount Device) components, which are highly susceptible to "bridging" when liquid is present. Our ultrasonic cleaners operate at specific frequencies to create cavitation bubbles that physically displace corrosion from beneath BGA chips. After cleaning, we use multi-meter diagnostics to verify the integrity of the power management IC and backlight circuits, which are the most common failure points in liquid-damaged iPads.
