Water Damage Recovery

Water and liquid damage is one of the most common and destructive issues affecting electronic devices. At TechPawn, we've developed specialized techniques for recovering devices that have suffered from liquid exposure, whether it's from water, coffee, soda, or other liquids. Our process includes:

  • Ultrasonic cleaning to remove corrosion
  • Component-level inspection and testing
  • Replacement of damaged components
  • Data recovery from water-damaged storage

Our success rate with liquid-damaged devices far exceeds industry standards, giving your device the best chance at a full recovery.

Advanced Micro-Soldering

Our expertise in micro-soldering allows us to repair devices at the component level, addressing issues that most repair shops can't fix. Using professional-grade equipment including microscopes, hot air rework stations, and precision soldering tools, we can:

  • Replace tiny BGA (Ball Grid Array) chips
  • Repair broken circuit traces on motherboards
  • Fix power distribution components
  • Restore damaged connectors and ports

This specialized expertise means we can often repair your device instead of replacing expensive components, saving you significant money while extending the life of your technology.

Comprehensive Assessment

Every repair begins with a thorough assessment of your device's condition and your specific needs. We take the time to understand not just the technical problems, but also how you use your device and what's most important to you. This allows us to recommend the most appropriate solution, whether that's a repair, data recovery, or in some cases, advice on replacement options.

Our transparent assessment process ensures you understand exactly what we can do, how long it will take, and what it will cost before any work begins. We pride ourselves on honest evaluations and fair pricing, never recommending unnecessary repairs or replacements.
