Case file · liquid damage
Fixed, not replaced.
A coffee spill, three days of corrosion and a quote for a new logic board elsewhere. We cleaned the board ultrasonically, replaced two corroded components under the microscope and handed the laptop back with every file intact.

A clear price and timeline in writing. Nothing is repaired until you say yes.

Pickup & warranty
Your device back, cleaned inside and out, with a 12-month parts and labor warranty.

Most “dead” computers aren't.
Before you replace it, let us diagnose it. It's free at our bench, and you'll know exactly what's wrong before you spend anything.
Client reviews
Notes from the pickup counter.
Another shop quoted me $950 for a new logic board. Maksim found one shorted capacitor, fixed it for a fraction of that and had my MacBook back in three days. Every file was still there.
I spilled tea on my laptop the night before a deadline. They took it first thing, explained exactly what the corrosion had damaged, and I was working again by the next afternoon.
Built me a quiet editing workstation and talked me out of parts I didn't need. The cable management is honestly art. It renders twice as fast as my old machine.
My external drive stopped mounting with ten years of family photos on it. They imaged it, recovered almost everything and showed me the file list before I paid a cent.
We're a six-person post-production studio. Maksim set up our backups, new workstations and Wi-Fi, and he picks up the phone when something breaks. That's the whole job.
Cracked screen fixed the same day for a fair price. He even cleaned out the fan while it was open, and the laptop runs so much quieter now.
After a fake tech-support call I didn't know what they'd done to my computer. Everything was cleaned, my passwords were changed with me, and I got a clear written summary.
