Not always. Success depends on the type of liquid, the duration of exposure, and how quickly the device was powered off and brought in for treatment.

Third-party repairs may affect your manufacturer warranty if the device is still within its original warranty period. However, most devices presented for repair are already outside their manufacturer warranty. Protech Repair will advise you of this during the diagnostic process. Apple and Samsung customer service centres are alternatives if your device is still under manufacturer warranty.

Data recovery cannot be guaranteed as it depends on the condition of the storage media and the nature of the failure. Protech Repair operates on a no data no fee basis for data recovery.
