Dropped Your Phone in Lake Norman? Do These 3 Things Now
- 1
Power it off immediately
And do not charge it. Electricity plus lake water is what kills phones, not the water alone.
- 2
Skip the rice.
It doesn't work, and the delay lets corrosion spread.
- 3
Get it to us fast.
We open the device, treat the board in an ultrasonic bath, and repair corrosion under a microscope. The sooner it arrives, the better the odds — same week is good, same day is best.
Every summer we rescue phones, and the photos on them, that went overboard at Blythe Landing, off a dock, or mid-wakesurf. Even when the phone can't be saved, our board-level data recovery can usually still pull your photos, contacts, and messages off it. Free diagnostics — you'll know the odds and the price before we start.

The Repairs Worth the Drive
These are the six repairs local shops most often can't do in-house. We do all of them ourselves — no depots, no mail-in, no weeks without your device.
Water Damage & Lake Rescue
Lake, pool, or dock drop — we do board-level corrosion treatment, not just a dry-out. Bring it in fast for the best odds.
Learn moreData Recovery From Dead Devices
Photos trapped in a drowned or dead phone, laptop, or drive? We recover data other shops can't, in-house, from $99. If another shop said it's gone, get a second opinion.
Learn moreDrone Repair (Yes, Even Water Crashes)
Lake Norman is drone country — until one goes in the water or clips a tree. We repair DJI and other drones in-house: gimbals, arms, boards, and post-crash water damage. One of the few shops in the region that touches drones at all.
Learn moreMicro-Soldering & Logic Board Repair
'It needs a new motherboard' usually means one failed chip. We repair boards under a microscope for a fraction of a replacement — MacBooks, iPhones, consoles.
Learn moreiPhone & Samsung Screen Repair — From $69, Under 30 Minutes
Cracked screen on the way through town? Most screens are done in under 30 minutes while you grab lunch — real quality-matched OLED, never a downgrade. Includes our 12-Month Screen Breakage Guarantee on eligible devices — crack it again within a year and the next screen is free.
Learn moreMacBook Repair — Board-Level, Data Intact
Dead MacBook, liquid spill, battery, screen, or keyboard — we repair MacBooks at board level under a microscope, from $149–$300 for failures the Apple Store solves with a $700+ board swap that wipes your data. Ours keeps it. Free diagnostics, firm quote first.
Learn moreGame Console & Retro Repair
PS5 HDMI ports, Switch charge ports, controller drift — plus the retro gear nobody else fixes: NES, N64, GameCube, Game Boy.
Learn more“It Needs a New Motherboard” Is Usually Wrong
That diagnosis typically means one failed component — a $3 chip, a corroded connector, a blown filter. Shops without micro-soldering equipment can't tell the difference. We repair boards under a stereo microscope: replacing individual chips, ICs, and connectors instead of quoting you a $600+ board swap.
- MacBooks other shops called dead
- iPhones with no-power or no-charge faults
- PS5 and Xbox HDMI port micro-soldering
- Liquid-damage board treatment & corrosion repair
- From $149 — fraction of a board replacement
