This service does not include non-integrated parts such as physical buttons, batteries, Wi-Fi cards/cables, or any other components that are not built into the motherboard itself.

You understand that if the liquid damage motherboard cleaning service resolves all device issues, then customer will be responsible for the liquid damage motherboard cleaning fee stated on the work order.

You understand that if additional non-integrated components are needed to fix the device, you will be contacted with a detailed price quote. If you elects to proceed with the replacement of non-integrated components, the liquid damage cleaning fee will be waved.

You understand that Phonefix Centre CANNOT guarantee malware removal through software alone. If it is the case that Phonefix Centre cannot safely remove the virus entirely, you will not be charged for the virus removal service, and Phonefix Centre will you about performing a reinstall of the operating system from a clean installation.
