If your **phone**, **tablet**, or **laptop** has been affected by **liquid damage** in **Exeter**, time matters. The longer moisture stays inside, the more likely it is to cause **corrosion**, **short circuits**, and permanent component failure.

At **Repatch**, we use courier collection to get your device to professional technicians quickly. Often, repairs can be started fast and you can get your device back without the hassle of dropping it off yourself.


## What to do immediately after a spill or splash

Follow these steps as soon as you can.

1. **Power off** the device right away. Do not try to “test” it.

2. If it is safe, **remove accessories** like cases, SIM trays, and charging cables.

3. **Wipe the outside** with a dry, lint free cloth.

4. Place the device somewhere dry with good airflow. Do not use heat, a hairdryer, or a microwave.

5. Get it booked for repair as soon as possible.

Even if your screen looks fine, liquid can still reach sensitive areas like the **charging port**, **microphone**, **speakers**, and **charging circuitry**.


## Common liquid damage symptoms

Liquid damage does not always look dramatic. You might notice one or more of these issues.

- **No charging** or inconsistent charging

- **Screen flicker** or touch problems

- **Speakers** that sound quiet, distorted, or crackly

- **Microphone** not working, or poor call quality

- **Overheating** or sudden shutdowns

- **Corrosion marks** around ports and seams

If you are in **Exeter** and you have a device with these symptoms after a drink spill, sea air exposure, or rain exposure, it is worth getting it checked quickly.


## What our technicians do for liquid damage repairs

Every liquid incident is different, but a proper repair usually includes careful inspection and cleaning. The goal is to remove contamination and prevent further corrosion.

Technicians will typically:

- Disassemble the device carefully

- Check for moisture paths around key components

- Clean affected areas using suitable repair processes

- Test charging and function performance after cleaning

- Reassemble and re-test to confirm the fix

If repairs are possible, we will recommend the best option for your device. We focus on getting it working reliably, not just briefly.
