Meet the Atlantis Senior Engineering Team

Liquid damage repairs at atlantis are handled by our Senior Engineering Team. With over 15 years of experience in professional iPhone repairs, we understand that liquid damage is the most technically demanding fix. It requires a complete teardown and microscopic inspection of the logic board to find "bridges" caused by corrosion. We use industrial-grade ultrasonic baths to remove mineral deposits that standard cleaning cannot reach. By choosing our national repair hub, you are trusting your device to a collective of experts who have successfully revived thousands of liquid-damaged iPhones.
Process & Protection
Our systematic approach ensures the highest possible success rate for liquid damage recovery:
- Full Disassembly: Every single shield and component is removed to expose the naked logic board.
- Ultrasonic Decontamination: The board is submerged in a specialist chemical bath to strip all corrosion.
- Microscopic Inspection: Engineers hunt for blown capacitors or scorched traces under high magnification.
- Micro-Soldering: If needed, we bridge damaged circuits and replace individual surface-mount components.
- Component Testing: We test your screen, battery, and cameras separately to ensure they weren't fried.
- Fixed-Price Quote: If major parts are needed, we provide a fixed quote before proceeding.

Common Symptoms Fixed
Liquid damage manifests in many ways; our fixed-price diagnostic covers them all:
- No Power: The device is completely dead and will not respond to a charger.
- Boot Looping: The phone restarts repeatedly on the Apple logo (often a sensor short).
- Screen Artifacts: vertical lines, dim backlight, or erratic touch response.
- Thermal Issues: The device gets extremely hot even when idle due to internal shorts.
- Signal Loss: Wi-Fi or Cellular grayed out due to antenna circuit corrosion.

Questions and Answers
How much does iPhone 7/8 series liquid damage repair cost? We charge a fixed £50.00 fee for the thorough deep clean, corrosion removal, and full diagnostic. If additional parts (like a screen or battery) are needed, we will provide a fixed-price quote before proceeding with any further work.
Is there a warranty? Yes. Any hardware parts replaced during the repair include our 12-month warranty. Please note that the initial cleaning fee is a diagnostic service and does not guarantee a total fix if the logic board is structurally destroyed.
Should I put my iPhone in rice? No. Rice does not remove moisture from inside the device and can introduce starch and dust into the charging port. The best action is to turn it off and send it to atlantis for a professional fixed-price cleaning.
What if it is unrepairable? In the rare case that your device is beyond viable repair (e.g., massive board rot), you will only be charged a small £15 inspection fee, and the rest of your deposit will be refunded.
