💧 What Happens When Water Gets Into a Microsoft Surface?
Water and electronics don’t mix. Even a small splash can cause:
- Short circuits in the motherboard
- Corrosion on internal connectors and ports
- Damage to battery, keyboard, or touchscreen
- Malfunctioning USB, audio, or charging ports
- Power issues or device not turning on
Surface devices are thin and tightly packed, which means liquid can spread fast through components. Unlike traditional laptops, many Surface models don’t have easily removable batteries, so time is critical.
⚠️ What to Do Immediately After Water Exposure
If your Surface device gets wet:
- Power it off immediately – If it’s still on, hold the power button until it shuts down.
- Disconnect from power – Unplug the charging cable.
- Remove accessories – Take out USBs, SD cards, keyboards, or pens.
- Turn it upside down – Let gravity drain the water out.
- Do not try to charge or power it on – This could worsen internal damage.
- Do not use rice or heat guns – These methods don’t work and may damage the screen or battery.
Then, bring it to a trusted service center as soon as possible for a professional evaluation.
🛠 Microsoft Surface Water Damage Repair – Our Process at Reformtech
Here’s what we do when a water-damaged Surface arrives at our lab:
1. Detailed Diagnosis
We start by:
- Inspecting for visible corrosion
- Testing motherboard integrity
- Checking battery and power circuit
- Assessing the condition of the screen, ports, and SSD
2. Disassembly and Drying
Using anti-static tools, we disassemble the device to expose all major components. We then:
- Use isopropyl alcohol and ultrasonic cleaning to remove residue and corrosion
- Dry components using controlled, safe heating (not hair dryers or ovens)
3. Motherboard Repair (if needed)
If the logic board has been compromised, our technicians:
- Remove corrosion manually
- Replace damaged IC chips or capacitors
- Reflow or replace damaged solder joints under a microscope
4. Component Testing
We test every critical component, including:
- Display and touch sensors
- SSD and data retention
- Battery health
- Keyboard, ports, and cameras
5. Replacement of Damaged Parts
If needed, we replace:
- The keyboard or type cover
- Internal speakers
- Charging port or USB-C port
- Display assembly (if moisture reached the LCD)
Only genuine Microsoft parts are used to ensure compatibility and performance.
6. Final Testing & Quality Control
Before returning the device:
- We stress-test every function
