$225+Power Surge, Electrical & Liquid Damage — What We Actually Fix
Iowa’s severe storm season, rural power infrastructure and temperature swings put unique stress on circuit boards. We repair the damage other shops won’t touch.
Surge & Storm Damage
Iowa’s thunderstorm and derecho season can push thousands of volts through the DC jack, USB‑C port or Ethernet line. We trace the damage path, replace blown MOSFETs, fuses, TVS diodes and voltage regulators, and rebuild burned power rails.
Rural Wiring & Brownout Damage
Farm wiring, long rural service drops, overloaded circuits and grid instability all stress charging ICs. We repair the resulting no‑power, no‑charge and intermittent‑boot faults common on Iowa farms and older homes.
Liquid Damage Restoration
Coffee on the keyboard, a spilled drink at the desk, snowmelt through a window, storm flooding or a plumbing leak. We strip the board, run it through ultrasonic cleaning tanks, remove corrosion and replace destroyed components.
Winter Condensation Corrosion
Bringing a cold laptop indoors into a warm house causes condensation inside the chassis. Over Iowa winters, that leads to slow corrosion and intermittent faults. We clean the residue and re‑tin damaged joints before they turn into a dead board.
Burnt Traces & Component‑Level Rework
We rebuild burned circuit sections, replace damaged pads, and reball BGA components under microscope. If a board has physical damage, we can usually bring it back.
Data‑Safe Board Repair
We repair your original board instead of swapping it. That keeps your Windows activation, FileVault encryption, licensed software and every file exactly where it was — no reinstall, no data migration.

Yes — surge and electrical damage is one of our core specialties. We test and replace blown MOSFETs, charging ICs, voltage regulators, damaged power rails and burnt traces.

We also repair damage caused by brownouts, faulty farm wiring, storm‑related grid events and unstable rural power common across Iowa.
How fast should I ship a laptop with liquid damage?Urgent
Immediately, and do not power it on. Corrosion begins within hours and spreads across the board, so the sooner the board reaches our ultrasonic cleaning tanks the higher the success rate. Turn the device off, do not charge it, and request a shipping label right away. Liquid damage restoration starts at $249.

We service Apple MacBook Pro, MacBook Air and iMac logic boards as well as Windows PC motherboards from Dell, HP, Lenovo, ASUS, Acer, MSI, Samsung, Razer and custom gaming and workstation builds.
