Liquid damage repair is a multi-stage process. Once the board is ultrasonically cleaned and dried, I use high-power microscopes to inspect every millimetre of the PCB. I often find that specific Sony Vaio VPC or SVF Fit series boards have common failure points near the keyboard connector or the power management IC after a spill. I replace damaged capacitors and resistors, and if necessary, perform a Sony Vaio motherboard repair to restore copper traces eaten away by electrolysis. My goal is to save your data and your device, providing a cost-effective alternative to a total motherboard replacement.

Our restoration process is rigorous: we strip the laptop to its core, treat the board, and then conduct a 48-hour soak test to ensure stability. Every repair is backed by a 1-year return-to-base warranty. We prioritise your data; unless the SSD itself has been fried by the liquid, your files remain safe. If your device is found to be unrepairable, we only charge a small £15 inspection fee. We also provide specialist laptop keyboard replacements if the spill has caused keys to become sticky or non-functional.

We provide specialist liquid damage restoration for the entire Sony Vaio family:

Is rice good for a liquid damaged laptop?
No. Rice is a myth. It does not remove the minerals that cause corrosion. Professional ultrasonic cleaning is the only way to neutralise chemical damage.

Can I still use my Vaio if it seems to work after a spill?
We strongly advise against it. Corrosion is a "slow killer." A laptop might work for a day or a week before the corrosion bridge finally shorts a major power rail.

Will I lose my photos and documents?
In most cases, no. Liquid damage usually affects the power-management circuits first. Unless the SSD itself was directly hit, your data is typically recoverable.

How much does it cost to fix a liquid damaged Sony Vaio?
A Sony Vaio liquid damage repair at Atlantis is a fixed price of £150.00, which includes deep ultrasonic cleaning and component-level motherboard repairs.

Can a laptop be fixed after a water spill?
Yes, provided the corrosion is professionally removed. We use industrial ultrasonic tanks to clean the motherboard and micro-soldering to replace any failed components.

Is it worth fixing liquid damage on an old Sony Vaio?
Often yes. Sony Vaios were premium machines. A £150 repair is much cheaper than buying a new equivalent laptop, especially if you need your data.

How long does liquid damage repair take?
The process usually takes 3 to 5 working days. This allows for deep cleaning, microscopic inspection, part replacement, and a 48-hour soak test.
