Meet the Atlantis Senior Engineering Team

Liquid damage requires more than just drying; it requires surgical precision. Our senior engineers disassemble the device entirely to inspect every square millimetre of the logic board. We use high-grade chemical cleaners and ultrasonic baths to neutralize corrosive salts and minerals left behind by water, coffee, or salt water. Our team's 15 years of experience means we know exactly where hidden moisture hides in the X-series' unique internal architecture.
Technical Details
Our professional recovery process involves several technical stages:
- Ultrasonic Bathing: High-frequency sound waves in specialized fluid to dislodge corrosion.
- Chemical De-oxidation: Neutralizing the chemical reaction between liquid and copper circuits.
- Micro-Soldering: If necessary, repairing tiny traces on the motherboard (additional quotes may apply for complex board repair).
- Seal Replacement: Fitting fresh gaskets to help prevent future moisture ingress.
Process & Protection
- Full Strip-Down: Removing the logic board and all internal components.
- Moisture Elimination: Drying with specialized equipment to ensure zero humidity.
- Deep Cleaning: Removing all corrosion from the circuit board.
- Component Check: Testing every minor part (buttons, cameras, sensors). All non-major components are included in the £50 fee.
- Stress Testing: Once reassembled, the device is tested for 24 hours to ensure stability.
Common Symptoms Fixed
- No Power: Device won't turn on or charge after liquid exposure.
- Erratic Behaviour: Phone apps opening themselves or buttons not responding.
- Boot Looping: The Apple logo appears and disappears repeatedly.
- Overheating: The device gets hot quickly due to internal shorts.
