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.

Drag, tap or use the arrow keys to compare.

How long will my repair take? Real windows, by repair.

Most laptop and MacBook repairs leave the bench the same day or the next. Parts we stock — batteries, ports, keyboards, many screens — keep the window short.

Typical windows from drop-off to ready. Your written quote always includes a firm date.

How it works

Five steps. No surprises.

The same careful process for a $79 tune-up and a complex board repair — so you always know where your device is and what it will cost.

  1. Laptop in a padded intake tray with a blue job tag and a checklist

    Step 01 · About 5 minutes

    Walk in or book

    Drop by the Burbank bench during open hours, or book online and we'll have a technician ready.

    Intake
  2. Soldering iron and tweezers working on a tiny chip under a stereo microscope

    Step 02 · Usually same day

    Free diagnostic

    We test the actual hardware — power, board, storage, display — to find the real fault.

    Diagnosis
  3. The Burbank repair workshop: a long white workbench under a window with a microscope and parts drawers

    Step 03 · Before any work

    Written quote

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

    Quote
  4. Brush with isopropyl alcohol cleaning corrosion from a laptop logic board

    Step 04 · Most within 24 hours

    Repair & burn-in

    Component-level repair, then hours of stress testing so it leaves the bench reliable.

    Bench
  5. A restored logic board with clean, dry solder joints and components

    Step 05 · 12-month warranty

    Pickup & warranty

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

    Pickup

Board-level, not swap-level

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.

Field notes from the pickup counter.

Real repairs for people in Burbank and around the Valley — what broke, what we found, and how it went.

MacBook logic board

“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.”

Daniel R. · Burbank

Liquid damage

“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.”

Elena K. · Glendale

Custom PC build

“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.”

Marcus T. · North Hollywood

Data recovery

“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.”

Priya S. · Toluca Lake

Business IT support

“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.”

Jordan W. · Studio City

Screen replacement

“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.”

Ana M. · Sun Valley

Virus removal

“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.”

About the shop

One bench. One standard.
