Every recovery attempt is completed by an atlantis technician with over 15 years of experience repairing Apple devices. Liquid damage is complex; it doesn't just "dry out"—it leaves behind conductive minerals that cause shorts and corrosion. Our workshop utilises professional ultrasonic cleaners and isopropyl alcohol baths to safely remove these residues from the iPhone 5 series logic board. We utilise specialised anti-static tools to ensure no further damage occurs during the diagnostic process. For other technical issues with these models, explore our full range of iPhone 5, 5S & SE repairs.

This fixed-price £50.00 service covers the following iPhone model numbers:

• Switch Off: If the device is still on, power it down immediately to prevent electrical shorts.
• Remove Case/SIM: Take out the SIM tray and any accessories.
• Wipe Dry: Use a lint-free cloth to dry the exterior of the device.
• Avoid Rice: Rice does not draw moisture out of the device and can introduce harmful dust.
• No Heat: Do not use hair dryers or radiators, as excessive heat can melt internal adhesives.

1. Internal Assessment: Safe disassembly to inspect all liquid contact indicators.
2. Ultrasonic Cleaning: Board-level cleaning to remove corrosion from under integrated circuits.

What does the £50.00 fee cover? It covers the safe disassembly, professional ultrasonic cleaning of the logic board, and a full diagnostic to see if the device is repairable.

Is there a warranty? Yes. If we repair the device, any parts we replace come with a 12-month warranty. We cannot warranty the entire board against future liquid-related issues.

Can you save my photos? In many cases, yes. Our first priority is cleaning the board to a state where we can boot the device and recover your data.

What is your success rate? For devices sent to us immediately after the liquid contact, we have a very high success rate. Success drops the longer the liquid sits inside.

Can a water-damaged iPhone 5 be fixed? Yes, provided internal shorts haven't permanently destroyed the logic board. Professional cleaning is essential.

How long does a liquid damage repair take? We usually require 3-5 working days to ensure the device is completely dry and stable before final testing.

Will a new battery fix my water-damaged iPhone? Sometimes, but only if the motherboard has been professionally cleaned first. A new battery in a corroded phone can cause a fire hazard.
