Meet the Atlantis Senior Engineering Team
Our senior UK engineering team has been providing technical repairs for over 20 years. Operating from our workshop, they specialize in micro-soldering and logic board trace repair—essential skills for fixing liquid damage. We follow Apple's official advice to avoid damaging home methods like rice and instead use high-frequency ultrasonic tanks to reach hidden corrosion.
Process & Protection
- Precision Dismantling: Carefully opening the device to assess internal damage.
- Ultrasonic Bath: Removing mineral deposits and oxidation from the logic board.
- Decontamination: Cleaning and drying all internal components meticulously.
- Component Fix: Replacing minor damaged parts included in the £50.00 fee.
- Testing: Verifying battery, screen, and touch stability before re-sealing.
If major components like a new LCD or battery are needed, we will provide a separate quote before proceeding.
Common Symptoms Fixed
- iPad is completely dead after a spill.
- Backlight failure (screen is black but device has sound).
- Ghost touching or unresponsive digitizer areas.
- Charging port showing "Liquid Detected" or failing to connect.
- Device getting hot or battery draining rapidly after contact.

Questions and Answers
What should I do immediately after my iPad gets wet? Avoid turning it on or charging it. Gently dry it with a towel and seek professional repair as soon as possible to prevent corrosion.
Does rice actually fix water damage? No, the rice method is a myth and can often cause more harm by allowing corrosion to settle. Professional ultrasonic cleaning is the only effective way to remove internal minerals.

Technical Details
Liquid damage creates copper oxide—the green residue seen on electronics—which creates "bridges" between electrical traces. Our lab uses non-conductive chemical solutions and high-frequency sound waves (ultrasonic) to break these bridges. We then use high-resolution microscopic inspection to verify every chip on the board is clean, ensuring a technical recovery that home drying cannot achieve.
