Has liquid or water been spilt on or inside your PS5? Console Wizard provides a specialist PS5 liquid damage inspection service for £29.99.
Liquid damage is different from a normal console fault because contamination and corrosion often need to be professionally cleaned before our engineers can accurately diagnose the electronic damage underneath.
For the £29.99 inspection, your PS5 is professionally dismantled, internal liquid contamination and corrosion are cleaned, and the motherboard is professionally assessed. Ultrasonic motherboard cleaning is carried out where required as part of the inspection process.
Once the console has been cleaned and assessed, we will contact you with our findings and provide the repair price before carrying out any additional chargeable repair work.
The £29.99 liquid damage inspection fee is non-refundable and is not deducted from the subsequent repair cost.
PS5 Liquid Damage Inspection – £29.99
Our £29.99 PS5 liquid damage inspection covers the specialist work required before an accurate repair quotation can be provided.
Liquid contamination can affect multiple areas inside a console and may cause corrosion, short circuits or damage to motherboard components. Simply looking at the symptoms does not reliably identify the extent of the damage.
• PS5 professionally dismantled
• Internal liquid contamination inspected
• Internal contamination and corrosion professionally cleaned
• Motherboard ultrasonically cleaned where required
• Motherboard inspected for liquid-related damage
• Fault diagnosis carried out after cleaning
• Repairability assessed
• Customer contacted with the repair quotation
The £29.99 payment covers this inspection and cleaning process. It does not include the subsequent component-level repair or replacement parts that may be required.
PS5 Water Damage Repair
Although customers commonly search for PS5 water damage repair, many different liquids can cause damage inside a console.
Water, drinks and other liquids can leave contamination on internal components. Depending on the liquid involved and how long it has remained inside the console, corrosion can continue to develop after the original spill.
This is why the first stage of our PS5 liquid damage service is professional dismantling, cleaning and assessment rather than immediately quoting a fixed repair price.
Once the contamination has been removed sufficiently for diagnosis, our engineers can assess what electronic or component-level repair is actually required.
Common Symptoms After PS5 Liquid Damage
The symptoms caused by liquid damage depend on which areas of the console have been affected.
A liquid-damaged PS5 may develop symptoms including:
• Console completely dead
• PS5 will not turn on
• Console powers on and immediately turns off
• Intermittent power problems
• Blue light or failure to boot correctly
• Overheating or shutdown problems
• Fan or cooling-related faults
• USB, Ethernet or other connection faults
• Motherboard component failures
• Corrosion visible inside the console
These symptoms do not identify one particular component. Liquid can affect multiple circuits, which is why professional inspection is required before the final repair can be established.
Do Not Keep Trying to Turn On a Liquid-Damaged PS5
If liquid has entered your PS5, we recommend disconnecting the console from mains power and avoiding further attempts to switch it on.
Applying power while liquid or conductive contamination remains inside electronic equipment can potentially cause additional electrical damage.
Do not repeatedly test the console to see whether it has dried out and started working again.
A console that appears dry externally can still contain liquid residue or corrosion internally.
PS5 Liquid Damage Cleaning
Before accurate electronic diagnosis can take place, liquid contamination and corrosion may need to be removed from the affected areas.
The PS5 is therefore professionally dismantled so that our engineers can inspect the internal components and motherboard.
• Console dismantled for internal inspection
• Visible liquid contamination identified
• Affected internal areas professionally cleaned
• Corrosion and residue removed where possible
• Motherboard prepared for further diagnosis
This cleaning process is one of the reasons liquid damage requires a separate £29.99 inspection rather than our standard fault diagnosis service.
PS5 Motherboard Ultrasonic Cleaning
Where required, the PS5 motherboard is placed through our professional ultrasonic cleaning process to help remove contamination from affected areas of the board.
Liquid residue and corrosion can make electronic diagnosis difficult and can be present around small motherboard components and connections.
Ultrasonic cleaning is therefore used where appropriate as part of preparing a contaminated motherboard for professional inspection and fault diagnosis.
Ultrasonic cleaning itself does not guarantee that a liquid-damaged motherboard can be repaired. Its purpose within this service is to help clean contamination so the underlying electronic damage can be properly assessed.
PS5 Liquid-Damaged Motherboard Assessment
Once the motherboard has been sufficiently cleaned, our engineers can begin assessing the damage caused by the liquid contamination.
Liquid damage can affect individual electronic components, motherboard connections, power circuitry and other areas of the console.
Console Wizard carries out component-level motherboard repairs, allowing us to investigate damaged electronic circuitry and individual components rather than automatically replacing the complete motherboard.
• Motherboard inspected for corrosion
• Liquid-damaged areas professionally assessed
• Short circuits investigated where applicable
• Damaged electronic components identified where possible
• Repairability assessed
• Required repair work identified
We Contact You With the Repair Price
The £29.99 payment is for the liquid damage inspection and cleaning process. It is not a fixed price for repairing all damage caused by the liquid.
Liquid damage varies considerably between consoles. One PS5 may require replacement of an individual component, while another may have extensive motherboard damage affecting several circuits.
Once our engineers have cleaned and assessed your console, we will contact you and explain what we have found.
We will then provide the cost of the required repair before carrying out additional chargeable repair work.
• Console inspected and cleaned first
• Actual liquid-related damage assessed
• Required repair identified where possible
• Customer contacted with repair quotation
• Additional repair only proceeds after approval
The £29.99 Inspection Fee Is Non-Refundable
The £29.99 PS5 liquid damage inspection fee is non-refundable.
This is because considerable engineering work can be required before we can establish whether a liquid-damaged console is repairable.
The PS5 must be dismantled, contamination and corrosion cleaned, the motherboard professionally cleaned where required, and the affected circuitry inspected before an accurate diagnosis can be made.
The inspection fee therefore covers work that has already been carried out even if the console ultimately proves to be beyond economical or technical repair.
The £29.99 inspection fee is also not deducted from the subsequent repair quotation.
Is Every Liquid-Damaged PS5 Repairable?
Unfortunately, no. The extent of liquid damage can vary considerably and not every PS5 can be successfully repaired.
The possibility of repair depends on factors such as where the liquid entered the console, which components were affected, the extent of corrosion and the resulting electronic damage.
Some consoles may have relatively localised damage, while others can suffer extensive motherboard corrosion or failure of components that cannot be practically repaired.
This is why we cannot guarantee a successful repair before the console has been professionally cleaned and inspected.
Why Liquid Damage Is Different From Normal PS5 Diagnosis
A normal PS5 fault can often be investigated without first carrying out extensive contamination cleaning.
Liquid damage is different because residue and corrosion can obscure the underlying fault and potentially affect several circuits simultaneously.
Our normal PS5 fault diagnosis service therefore does not cover liquid-damaged consoles.
If your PS5 has suffered a liquid spill, this dedicated £29.99 liquid damage inspection is the correct service to select.
What Is Included in the £29.99 Inspection?
Our PS5 liquid damage inspection includes the specialist preparation, cleaning and assessment required before we can determine the subsequent repair.
• PS5 professionally dismantled
• Internal liquid contamination inspected
• Contaminated internal areas professionally cleaned
• Corrosion cleaned where possible
• Motherboard ultrasonically cleaned where required
• Motherboard professionally inspected after cleaning
• Liquid-related electronic damage investigated
• Repairability assessed
• Required repair identified where possible
• Customer contacted with repair quotation
The subsequent repair and any replacement components are not included within the £29.99 inspection fee.
Does the £29.99 Liquid Damage Inspection Include a Warranty?
No. The £29.99 service is an inspection, cleaning and diagnostic service rather than a completed repair, so a repair warranty does not apply to the inspection itself.
If the console is repairable and you subsequently approve the quoted repair, the warranty applicable to that completed repair will be confirmed as part of the repair service.
