Pixel 6a Water Damage Repair in Kuala Lumpur
Water damaged Pixel 6a? We do ultrasonic board cleaning and component repair in KL. The faster you bring it in, the better the odds.
Stop. Do this first.
- Power it off now. Don't check if it still works.
- Don't charge it. That's how you short the board.
- Shake water out of the USB-C port gently.
- Don't put it in rice. That's a myth that wastes time.
- Get it to a repair shop the same day. Corrosion starts within hours.
What water does to a Pixel 6a
Your Pixel 6a is rated IP67, which helps with brief splashes, but it's not a guarantee. IP67 means 1 metre depth for 30 minutes in lab conditions. Real life isn't a lab. Pool chemicals, salt water, and soap all break down the seals faster. The Google Tensor board uses tiny BGA components that corrode fast once moisture gets in.
How we approach it
- Full teardown. Board, battery, display connections, all of it separated.
- Ultrasonic cleaning of the main board to dissolve corrosion at the component level.
- Microscope inspection for shorted or corroded chips.
- Component-level microsoldering if any Google Tensor board ICs are damaged.
- Battery replaced if liquid reached the cell (swelling risk).
- Everything tested before reassembly.
Pricing & time
- Ultrasonic cleaning only: RM 150 - RM 250
