The repair where the clock is the enemy
Liquid damage is corrosion, and corrosion does not stop on its own.
Water carries salts and minerals that keep eating the board long after the device feels dry. Every day it sits is more damage. Opening and cleaning it is the repair, and it works better the sooner it happens.
Liquid damage, Arlington VA
What we actually do to a board that went swimming.
There is no honest fixed price for liquid damage. There is an honest process, and a real number once the board has been seen.
Start your repair-
Rice absorbs a little surface moisture and nothing under the shields. Meanwhile the salts keep working. It costs you the days that mattered.
-
Shields off, board out, cleaned properly rather than wiped. This removes the residue that keeps the corrosion going.
-
Once it is clean we can see which components were lost. Only then is there a number worth quoting.
-
If the device holds photos nobody else has, we say so early and prioritise getting data off before cosmetic repairs.
-
Salt and sugar are far more aggressive than tap water. It changes the urgency and we tell you honestly which one you are dealing with.
-
Sometimes the damage is beyond economic repair. You will hear that from us with the board in front of you, not after a week of silence.
What comes in after a spill, and what it usually is
Tap the one yours is doing.
It went in and now nothing happens at all.
A shorted power rail. Cleaning first, then we find which component is pulling it down.
It worked fine for a day, then died.
Classic corrosion timeline. The device dried, the residue did not, and it kept eating tracks.
The picture is there but touch does not work.
Liquid under the display connector. Often one of the better outcomes.
It charges but will not boot.
Power arrives and the processor still cannot start. Board-level from here.
The microphone or speaker went after a spill.
Corroded audio circuitry. Usually repairable, and cheap compared to the alternatives.
I just need the photos off it.
Say that when you check it in. It changes what we do first and sometimes what we do at all.
The Repair Center other shops send their boards to.
Eleven years in the repair center, tens of thousands of devices brought back — including the ones bigger chains call “unrepairable.” Microscope, hot-air, microsoldering — the real toolkit.
Four steps, no surprises
-
01
Diagnose
A real in-house diagnostic finds the actual fault and its cost.
-
02
Approve
You get the price and timeline in writing — nothing happens until you say yes.
-
03
Fix
Board-level lab work: microsoldering, BGA reballing, charging-IC, screen, battery, water.
-
04
Warranty
Every repair leaves with a warranty and an honest note on what it covers.
A repair shouldn’t cost you your privacy
-
No password for most repairs
Screen, battery, charging and glass work don’t need your passcode. If a repair genuinely needs access, we tell you why first.
-
Maintenance & Repair Mode
On Samsung use Maintenance Mode; on Pixel use Repair Mode — they hand us system access while your photos, messages and accounts stay sealed behind a separate space.
-
We don’t browse your files
We do not view, copy or extract your personal files. For data recovery, recovered data is wiped from our equipment once you confirm you have it.
Why our diagnostic is $65
A free diagnostic is a surface-level look — and “free” usually hides a small fee at the counter once the work actually starts. We’d rather charge you once to find the real fault than charge you three times for parts that were never the problem.
-
Real in-house diagnostic
Inspection under a microscope, thermal camera and circuit test — we measure the fault, we don’t guess at it.
-
A written report
Exactly what’s wrong and why, the parts and cost, and a timeline. Yours to keep, even if you don’t proceed.
-
An honest verdict
Including an honest “not worth repairing” when that’s the truth — the one time you pay $65 and nothing more.
A free glance, then “advanced diagnostic — small fee” told to you at the counter. The number never appears before you hand over the device.
$65, published right here, credited to the fix. One flat fee, no tiers, no surprise line item at pickup.

The best experience I’ve ever had at a phone repair store! The process was super simple, the help I received was amazing... all while being the cheapest price by far. I called many other store and this place checked every box. Don’t waste your time anywhere else and go here.
-
I brought in my phone because it wasn’t charging, and the technician diagnosed the issue and fixed it in less than five minutes. The service was fast, professional, and friendly from start to finish. I really appreciate how quickly they got my phone working again.
-
My Dell laptop suddenly shut down and wouldn’t turn back on. I tried every fix I could find online, but nothing worked... Kuba was attentive and provided excellent customer service throughout the entire process. They communicated clearly, their pricing was reasonable... I had my laptop back in less than a week.
-
I brought my gaming laptop that seemed to have a software issue and after I had explained it to Kuba he was thorough with his explanation on what the diagnosis is going to look like... The diagnosis was done within the next day and he successfully fixed my laptop. It was overall a smooth experience.
-
Dropped my phone right before my vacation. Was able to walk-in and within 30 minutes my screen was replaced and can on vacation with peace of mind. Quality repair and thoughtful service and expectation setting.
-
Kuba did a great job fixing the DC jack on motherboard for my laptop. They seem to be among the very few electronic shops that can repair Samsung laptops. The charge is also reasonable.
-
Great service . I walked in and Kuba was behind the desk . He looked at my iPad and told me it’d be ready in 2 hrs ! He called me to come pick it up and even stayed an extra 10 min after closing so I can pick it up same . I’m extremely satisfied
-
I’m really glad I chose WeFixed Data Recovery... I dropped off my iPad at their local office, and the turnaround time was much faster than I expected. The best part was getting my iPad back with all of my important files successfully recovered.
-
Great experience through the entire process. I was helped by Kubanychbek Abdashimov and they were quick, efficient, and kept me updated throughout the process. There was no BS or surprise pricing... They cleaned my laptop, which was extremely dirty inside, and replaced the thermal paste.

The questions worth asking
Is the diagnostic really just $65?
Yes — one flat $65 diagnostic, no tiers, and it’s credited straight toward your repair if you go ahead. You only pay it and nothing more if you decide not to proceed, and you still leave with a written report.
What warranty do I get?
One year on OEM and OEM-equivalent parts, 30 days on aftermarket parts and all labor. The exact term is printed on your invoice. Water and board-level work is honestly framed as a skilled attempt, not a guaranteed outcome.
Do you need my passcode or see my data?
Not for most repairs. When access is genuinely required we explain why first, and we use Samsung Maintenance Mode / Pixel Repair Mode where possible. We don’t browse, copy or extract your files.
How long does a repair take?
Many common repairs — screen, battery, charging — are same-day or while you wait. Board-level and data-recovery work takes longer; we give you a realistic timeline on the spot rather than a fake promise.
OEM or aftermarket parts — what’s the difference?
OEM / original parts match the factory panel and carry the longer warranty; quality aftermarket parts cost less and carry the 30-day term. The calculator shows both where they apply, with the trade-offs, so you choose.
Do I need an appointment?
No. Walk in during opening hours, seven days a week, 11am to 8pm. We are at 2722 Washington Blvd N in Arlington, and most common repairs are done the same day while you wait.
