Meet the Atlantis Senior Engineering Team
Our senior UK engineering team at Atlantis has over 20 years of experience in board-level diagnostics. Liquid damage is one of the most technical repairs we perform, as minerals in water can create conductive bridges between components on the logic board. Our team uses microscopic diagnostic tools to identify high-resistance shorts and power rail failures. Every iPad repair is conducted with clinical focus, providing the best possible path to recovering your data and device.
Process & Protection
- Full Stripdown: The iPad Mini is completely disassembled to isolate the logic board.
- Chemical Pre-Wash: Visible sugary or acidic residue is manually cleared from the board.
- Ultrasonic Treatment: Submerging the board in a chemical bath with high-frequency vibrations to clear microscopic corrosion.
- Thermal Dehydration: Ensuring all hidden moisture is removed from under IC chips using controlled heat.
- Final Diagnostic: Testing the device for full functionality and providing a quote for any required parts (e.g., screen/battery).
Common Symptoms Fixed
- iPad Mini will not turn on after a spill.
- Device is stuck in a boot loop or on the Apple logo.
- Display flickers or has vertical lines after exposure.
- Touchscreen is unresponsive or erratic (ghost touching).
- The iPad feels excessively hot shortly after the liquid event.

Questions and Answers
What is the success rate for water damage repair? Success depends on the type of liquid and how quickly it reaches us. Our ultrasonic cleaning service provides the highest chance of recovery by removing minerals that cause long-term board rot. We give you a clear, honest appraisal after cleaning.
Does the £50 diagnostic cover the full repair? This fee covers the professional disassembly, chemical treatment, and diagnostic work. If the device requires new components (e.g., a screen or battery), we will provide a separate quote for those parts.
People Also Ask (Q&A)
Can I put my iPad Mini in rice? No. Rice does not neutralize corrosion and can often trap moisture or introduce dust into internal layers. Professional ultrasonic cleaning at Atlantis is the only way to stop board degradation.
How long do I have to fix a water-damaged iPad? Corrosion starts almost immediately. The faster the logic board is professionally cleaned, the higher the chance of saving the device and your data.

Technical Details
The iPad Mini series features high-density logic boards with components packed tightly together. When liquid is introduced, minerals create conductive paths (shorts) between power rails. Our ultrasonic cleaning tanks operate at specific frequencies to create cavitation bubbles that physically displace corrosion from beneath BGA chips. After treatment, we use thermal cameras and multi-meter diagnostics to verify the integrity of the power management and backlight circuits.
