Expert Advice & Tips
Common causes of water damage in laptops:
- Spills from drinking liquids or coffee directly onto the keyboard, which can seep into the motherboard and cause corrosion.
- Heavy rain or humid environments that push moisture into ports and vents during use.
- Leaky screens or damaged seals that invite moisture into the chassis.
- Poor sealing around ports after failed previous repairs.
- Liquid exposure when the device is powered, increasing the risk of short circuits.
Prevention tips:
- Use a protective keyboard cover and keep drinks away from the laptop.
- Dry hands and a clean workspace, and power down immediately after exposure.
- Wipe any spills with a lint-free cloth and seek professional help within 24 hours.
- Store in a dry place; consider a silica gel pack in your bag.
- Regularly inspect charging ports for moisture and dust.

- Replace if the damage affects core components, battery health is poor, or costs exceed 60-70% of a new device.

- Clear warranty terms and easy collection options.

Red flags to avoid: Intro: Don’t risk hidden fees or poor aftercare.

What Our Customers Say
I spilled water on my Acer Predator Helios 500 near Marsh and feared the worst. iRepair Guys fixed it the same day at their Marsh shop, explained the process clearly, and had it booting again in under an hour. The team kept me informed from Town Centre to Almondbury. Much cheaper than the Apple Store, and the quality feels rock solid.
Running a small design studio near Town Centre, I needed a fast, reliable fix for a water-damaged laptop. The technician visited our office in Dalton and completed the repair the same day. They offered a business discount and smooth, transparent pricing. Quick turnaround and professional service beat the Apple Store hands down.
As a student in Almondbury, I dropped my Acer Predator Helios 500 in the bath and panicked about costs. They gave a clear quote, explained the steps, and repaired it with no fuss. Great value, excellent diagnostics, and a solid alternative to the Apple Store for budget-minded students.
Sent the Helios 500 in for mail-in water damage repair and was impressed with the results. The team kept me updated from Brighouse to Moldgreen, tested all functions, and shipped back in working order. Smooth mail-in process and a trustworthy service you can rely on rather than queuing at the Apple Store.
I’m in a busy design firm near Lockwood and needed urgent repair for a water-damaged laptop. They offered same-day on-site mobile repair and collaboration with our IT team. Professional, efficient, and cheaper than Apple with a much more responsive service.
We had two Acer laptops damaged by spills in our Dalton home. The team fixed both devices in one day and honoured a loyalty discount. They tested each machine thoroughly and explained what failed and how they prevented future issues. A reassuring, friendly service that our family will use again.
Frequently Asked Questions
Pricing & Value
Q:
How much does this repair cost?
Pricing for water damage on the Acer Predator Helios 500 varies based on the extent of the damage and the components affected. After we inspect the device, you’ll receive a written quote before any work begins, with a clear breakdown of diagnostics, cleaning, corrosion removal, board-level repairs if needed, and final testing. There are no surprises or hidden fees. We prioritise transparent pricing and provide the quote in plain English, so you can decide with confidence.
Q:
Why cheaper than Apple?
Apple Stores have higher overheads, heavier labour costs, and longer turnaround times. iRepair Guys operates with leaner overhead, bulk-part sourcing, and highly skilled technicians dedicated to the specific task of water-damaged laptops. We offer same-day service in Huddersfield and nearby areas, with a focus on efficient repairs and direct, honest quotes. Our goal is to deliver quality repairs faster and at a more approachable price point than the Apple Store, while still using high-quality parts.
Q:
Any hidden costs?
We believe in complete transparency. Your quote covers diagnostics, cleaning, corrosion removal, testing, and the necessary repairs. If additional issues are found during the initial inspection, we’ll explain them and only proceed with your consent. There are no hidden fees and no surprise charges—ever. If you’re in Marsh, Town Centre, or Almondbury, we’ll confirm all costs up front before we start.
Q:
Payment plans or discounts?
We offer available discounts for students and businesses, as well as loyalty savings for multiple devices. Payment is due after the diagnostic and once you approve the repair quote. We accept card payments and bank transfers. Our aim is to provide fair pricing and flexible options so you can get your Acer Predator Helios 500 repaired without stress, with the convenience of same-day service in Huddersfield and surrounding areas.
Quality & Process
Q:
Parts quality?
We use OEM-grade parts and high-quality equivalents from reputable suppliers. Every component undergoes pre- and post-repair testing, with a rigorous QC process to ensure compatibility and reliability. We calibrate after reassembly to maintain performance and features, so your Acer Predator Helios 500 behaves as it should, even after water exposure.
Q:
How long does repair take?
Most water damage repairs are completed the same day at our Huddersfield store, with diagnostic checks and testing typically taking 30-60 minutes after arrival. More complex board-level repairs may extend this, but we prioritise fast, transparent turnaround and keep you informed at every step. If you’re near Marsh or Town Centre, you’ll usually have your laptop back within a few hours.
Q:
Will features work after? (Face ID, etc.)
We perform comprehensive functional testing after repair, including keyboard, touchpad, display, cooling, and any camera or biometric components. For devices relying on Face ID or other security features, we recalibrate sensors and re-enrol any necessary components, ensuring full feature compatibility post-repair.
Q:
Success rate?
We’ve repaired 5000+ devices with an average rating of 4.9, and a 98% customer satisfaction rate. Our quality control checks, systematic testing, and post-repair verification help maintain a high success rate. We back this with a 12-month warranty on parts and workmanship, giving you confidence beyond the initial fix.
Service Options
Q:
Walk-in, mobile, or mail-in?
You can choose walk-in at iRepair Guys Marsh for immediate attention, mobile service where our technician comes to your location in Huddersfield (Marsh, Town Centre, Brighouse, Almondbury, etc.), or mail-in if you prefer sending the device. Walk-ins are ideal for quick assessments; mobile services suit busy offices; mail-in is convenient for off-site fixes. All three options come with the same high-quality parts and warranty.
Q:
How does mobile repair work?
For mobile repairs, we dispatch a qualified technician to your chosen site in Huddersfield or nearby areas. We confirm a time window, perform diagnostics on-site, and complete the fixes with our usual QA checks. The technician brings high-quality parts and uses tools calibrated for Acer devices, ensuring you receive the same care as in-store.
Q:
Need appointment?
Walk-ins are welcome, but appointments help guarantee a slot and minimise your wait. If you’re in Marsh, Town Centre, or Almondbury and need a specific time, you can book ahead by phone or email. We operate Mon-Sat with flexible slots to fit around your schedule, and our mobile team can arrange on-site service at short notice for business clients.
Q:
Come to business/home?
We regularly provide on-site mobile repairs for businesses and homes in Huddersfield and surrounding areas. This option minimises downtime and avoids you transporting a heavy laptop. Our technician will carry out diagnostics, perform the necessary water-damage repairs, and leave your device ready for work, with on-site testing to confirm full functionality.

Warranty
Q:
What warranty?
All water-damage repairs on the Acer Predator Helios 500 include a 12-month warranty on parts and workmanship. This coverage begins from the date of repair and includes coverage for defects arising from the repair work and the parts used, subject to standard warranty terms. We stand by our work with a robust warranty designed to give you peace of mind.
Q:
If something goes wrong?
If a fault recurs within the warranty period, contact us and we’ll assess the issue to determine whether it’s covered. Most issues are resolved quickly with a free repair or adjustment under warranty. Our aim is to make it right and avoid downtime for you, with minimal disruption to your routine.
Q:
Affect manufacturer warranty?
Our repairs are performed to high standards and use quality parts in a way that does not void your manufacturer warranty where applicable. We document the work and provide guidance on any implications, especially if your device is still under Apple warranty. If needed, we can help you coordinate with the manufacturer while still delivering a supervisor-approved fix at a competitive price.
Technical
Q:
Device-specific technical question
Water damage on the Acer Predator Helios 500 can affect the motherboard, keyboard matrix, display, and charging circuitry. We perform a circuit-level diagnostic to identify corrosion on signal traces and connectors. Our approach includes chemical cleaning, targeted soldering of affected connections, and careful re-seating of components. We test boot, screen fidelity, keyboard input, and thermal performance to ensure sustained operation after repair.
Q:
What causes this issue?
Water exposure leads to corrosion, short circuits, and food-grade mineral residue in critical traces. In a laptop like the Predator Helios 500, liquid ingress can reach the motherboard, DC jack, and battery connectors. The most common causes are spills near the keyboard, condensation, or submersion during the incident. Regular maintenance and quick action minimise long-term damage.
Q:
Repair or replace device?
If the motherboard, power delivery, or display are severely damaged, replacement may be more cost-effective than a full repair. We evaluate the cost-to-benefit for every component, including the potential resale value and remaining useful life of the device. Our aim is to deliver the best long-term outcome for your Acer Predator Helios 500, whether that’s a repair or a controlled replacement option.
Q:
Fix multiple issues?
If water damage has caused multiple issues, we can bundle repairs for a single, comprehensive fix and offer a multi-repair discount. This approach reduces downtime and ensures all affected subsystems—motherboard, keyboard, and cooling—work in harmony. We’ll provide a clear, combined quote after the initial assessment and proceed with your approval.
