Spilled a drink on your laptop in Rancho Palos Verdes
Turn it off right away, unplug it and don't turn it back on to check. Liquid causes corrosion on the board, and the sooner it's opened and cleaned, the better the chances.
I open it, clean the board and check for damage, then tell you what it needs and what it costs.
Drop-off is by appointment. I'm often out on house calls, so please call or text before coming by. On-site visits available.
October launch offer: Free diagnostic (normally $45) + $20 off your first repair of $75 or more. One per customer. Mention the website when you call or text. Ends Oct 31, 2026.

Questions
Should I put it in rice?
No. Rice doesn't remove liquid from the board. Keep it off and call or text me.
How much does a diagnostic cost?
$45 per device (free during the October offer). It's waived if you go ahead with the repair, and there's no charge if it can't be fixed.
Are parts included?
Each price is marked. "Part included" means the price is all-in. "+ part" means I quote the part for your exact model before ordering, so you know the full total before you say yes. You can also bring your own part.
Will I lose my files?
Most repairs don't touch your data. When a reinstall is needed, the "reinstall + data backup" service saves your documents, photos, desktop and bookmarks first and restores them afterward.
