Nokia 1.4 Water Damage Treatment in Dublin

We quote the Nokia 1.4 after a free diagnostic, because the price depends on what we find. No fix, no fee, so if we cannot repair it you pay nothing.

Assessed first, then quoted. If a part needs ordering we tell you at the counter, before you commit.

The Nokia 1.4 came out in 2021, which puts it in the range where a single repair usually buys years rather than months. A screen or a battery costs a fraction of a replacement handset, and you keep everything already set up on it.

Turn it off and leave it off. Do not charge it, do not plug it into anything and do not press the buttons to see if it still works. Dry the outside, and if it has a removable tray take the SIM out. Then bring it in as soon as you can. Every hour it sits wet, corrosion spreads further across the board.

No. Rice pulls a little moisture from the air around the device and none from inside it, and it leaves starch dust in the ports. Meanwhile the liquid is still on the board corroding it. Rice is the reason a lot of devices that could have been saved arrive here too late.

Often, and it depends far more on what the liquid was and how long it sat than on how wet it got. We open the device, remove the board and clean it properly, then work through what is still faulty. Clean water caught early is usually recoverable. Salt water, coffee and anything sugary are much harder because they keep eating the board after they dry.

Yes. Corrosion carries on under the shields where you cannot see it, and devices that work perfectly for two weeks then die are the single most common water damage story we hear. A clean now is far cheaper than data recovery later.

We quote after we have opened it and seen the board, because there is no honest number before that. The diagnostic is free and if we cannot bring it back you pay nothing.

Walk in. We are at 4 Richmond Road, Drumcondra, Dublin 3, open Monday to Friday 9am to 6pm and Saturday 10am to 5pm. Closed Sunday. You can also book online and we will confirm a slot, or ask us to collect the device anywhere in Dublin, Monday to Friday.

Yes, with collection across Dublin, an invoice rather than a counter payment, and a single contact rather than a queue. There is a page for that with the details.

Yes, and it is worth saying so at the counter, because a previous repair changes where we look first. Bring any screws or parts you were given back.

Saturday 10am to 5pm, Monday to Friday 9am to 6pm, closed Sunday. No appointment needed on any of those days.

No. These are hardware repairs and we do not open, copy or erase anything on the device. Back it up first anyway, because any device that already has a fault can fail further while it is being worked on.

Card or cash at the counter when you collect. You get a firm price before any work starts, and it does not change unless we find something else and you agree to it first.

For most screen and battery work, 15 to 45 minutes, and people wait in the shop. Anything that has to come apart further, or that we want to run for a while before handing back, we tell you the day rather than guess at an hour.
