What to do after a spill
Switch off, disconnect power and avoid repeated testing
Liquid continues to react with powered circuitry. Shut the device down, unplug chargers and avoid trying to restart it. Do not use rice, household heat or compressed air.
Bring the device in as soon as practical. We open it safely, disconnect the battery, inspect the affected areas and prioritise data where that is your main concern.

Liquid damage repair questions
Frequently asked questions
What should I do immediately after a spill?
Turn the device off, disconnect power and accessories, and do not try to restart or charge it. Bring it in for assessment promptly.
Should I put the device in rice?
No. Rice does not remove contamination from the circuit board and can introduce dust. A controlled internal inspection is safer.
Can a liquid-damaged MacBook be repaired?
Often, but the result depends on the liquid, affected areas and time elapsed. We inspect and quote before proceeding.
Can you recover my data if the device will not turn on?
Sometimes. We first assess the storage architecture and board condition, then explain the safest recovery route.
How long does assessment take?
Timing depends on the device and severity, but we prioritise liquid-damage intake and explain the likely timeframe when it arrives.
Is liquid damage covered by warranty?
Accidental liquid exposure is normally excluded from manufacturer warranty. Repairs we perform carry the stated 73inc return-to-base warranty for supplied parts and labour.
