Has liquid been spilt on or inside your Xbox One S and the console has stopped working correctly? Liquid contamination can cause corrosion, short circuits and component failure across the motherboard and other internal parts of the console.
Console Wizard provides a professional Xbox One S Liquid & Water Damage Inspection for £29.99. The console is dismantled so that internal contamination and corrosion can be cleaned and the extent of the damage properly assessed before a repair quotation is provided.
The £29.99 charge is an inspection fee and is non-refundable. It does not include any additional components or subsequent repairs required to restore the console. Once the inspection has been completed, we will advise you of the fault and provide a quotation for any further repair required.
Xbox One S Liquid Damage Repair
Liquid entering an Xbox One S can affect several different areas of the console, which means the resulting fault cannot always be determined from the symptoms alone.
Common symptoms following liquid exposure can include:
• Xbox One S completely dead or not powering on
• Console powers on and immediately switches off
• Unexpected shutdowns
• Corrosion on the motherboard
• Short circuits or power faults
• Fan or cooling problems
• HDMI or display faults
• Other intermittent or unusual behaviour
The console therefore needs to be opened, cleaned and inspected before the actual repair requirement can be determined.
Xbox One S Water Damage Repair
Water damage should be treated in the same way as any other liquid contamination inside the Xbox One S.
Even when the console appears dry externally, moisture or contamination may remain around motherboard components, connectors and other internal areas.
Corrosion can also continue developing after the original exposure, which is why the internal condition of the console needs to be properly assessed.
What Happens During the Liquid Damage Inspection?
The Xbox One S must first be dismantled so that the internal components and motherboard can be inspected.
The inspection process includes:
• Xbox One S dismantling
• Internal liquid contamination inspection
• Motherboard cleaning
• Corrosion assessment
• Inspection for damaged components and circuitry
• Fault diagnosis following cleaning
• Repair quotation where further work is required
Cleaning the contamination is an important part of the diagnostic process because liquid residue and corrosion can make accurate fault finding difficult until the motherboard has been properly cleaned.
Xbox One S Motherboard Cleaning & Corrosion Inspection
Liquid contamination can leave conductive residue and corrosion across the Xbox One S motherboard.
Before component-level diagnosis can be carried out reliably, the affected areas need to be cleaned so our engineers can properly inspect the board and identify damaged components, tracks, connectors or circuitry.
The extent of liquid damage varies considerably between consoles. Some may require relatively limited repair, while others can have extensive corrosion or multiple component failures.
Xbox One S Liquid Damage & No Power
A completely dead Xbox One S following liquid exposure should be treated as a liquid-damaged console rather than booked under our standard No Power Repair.
Liquid can create short circuits and damage the internal PSU, motherboard power rails or individual electronic components.
Because contamination may affect several areas simultaneously, the console needs to undergo the liquid damage inspection before the required power repair can be determined.
Xbox One S Powers On Then Off After Liquid Damage
If the Xbox One S starts briefly and then switches off following a liquid spill, contamination or corrosion may be affecting the power or motherboard circuitry.
Repeatedly attempting to power a liquid-damaged console can potentially worsen electrical damage where contamination remains present.
We recommend disconnecting the console from power and having the internal components inspected rather than repeatedly attempting to restart it.
What Should I Do After Spilling Liquid on an Xbox One S?
If liquid has entered the console, disconnect it from mains power and avoid repeatedly attempting to switch it back on.
Do not assume that the console is safe to use simply because the outside appears dry. Liquid may remain inside the console or leave contamination around electronic components after the visible moisture has evaporated.
The console should be professionally dismantled and inspected before normal use is resumed.
Can an Xbox One S Be Repaired After Liquid Damage?
Many liquid-damaged consoles can be repaired, but whether an individual Xbox One S is repairable depends on the location and extent of the damage.
Liquid can affect different components and circuits, so we cannot confirm the final repair cost or guarantee that the console is repairable until it has been cleaned and assessed.
Following inspection, our engineers will advise you of the damage found and provide a quotation for any additional repair and parts required.
Why Is the £29.99 Inspection Fee Non-Refundable?
The £29.99 liquid damage inspection fee is non-refundable because significant engineering work is required before the extent of liquid damage can be established.
The console must be dismantled and the contamination and corrosion cleaned sufficiently for the motherboard and other components to be properly inspected and diagnosed.
This work is required regardless of whether the console is ultimately repairable or whether you decide to proceed with the subsequent repair quotation.
Does the £29.99 Include the Final Repair?
No. The £29.99 charge covers the liquid damage inspection, cleaning and diagnostic work.
Any additional repair work and replacement components required to restore the Xbox One S are quoted separately after the console has been inspected.
We will contact you with the repair cost once our engineers have established the extent of the damage.
What Happens If the Xbox One S Cannot Be Repaired?
Severe corrosion, extensive motherboard damage or damage affecting multiple areas can sometimes make a liquid-damaged Xbox One S uneconomical or impossible to repair.
If we are unable to repair the console, the £29.99 inspection fee remains non-refundable because the dismantling, cleaning, inspection and diagnostic work has already been carried out.
What Happens to My Games and Data?
Console Wizard cannot guarantee preservation or recovery of data from a liquid-damaged Xbox One S.
The condition of the internal storage and motherboard can be affected by the liquid exposure, and some repairs may require storage or system work.
Digital purchases remain associated with the customer's Microsoft account, and supported game saves may resynchronise from Xbox cloud storage where they were successfully synchronised before the fault occurred.
Warranty on Liquid Damage Repairs
If you approve the subsequent quotation and we successfully complete a repair, our standard 3-month repair warranty applies to the original fault repaired by Console Wizard.
Because liquid contamination can cause damage in multiple areas, the warranty applies to the specific repair carried out and does not cover unrelated faults or subsequent damage.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does an Xbox One S liquid damage inspection cost?
Our Xbox One S Liquid Damage Inspection costs £29.99. The inspection fee is non-refundable and any additional repair or replacement parts required are quoted separately.
Does the £29.99 include repairing my Xbox One S?
No. The £29.99 covers the liquid damage inspection, cleaning and diagnostic work required to determine the extent of the damage. We will provide a separate quotation for any further repair and parts required.
Can you repair an Xbox One S after water damage?
Many liquid-damaged consoles can be repaired, but this depends on the extent and location of the damage. The console must first be cleaned and inspected before we can determine whether a repair is possible.
Should I try turning my Xbox One S on after spilling liquid on it?
We recommend disconnecting the console from power and avoiding repeated attempts to switch it on. Liquid contamination can cause short circuits and further electrical damage while power is present.
