Fixed workshop at 3/221 The Entrance Road, Erina — a short run inland via Terrigal Drive. Salt, sand and liquid damage a specialty. Same-day on stocked parts, 12-month warranty.
Terrigal life is good for people and hard on electronics. Salt in the air, sand in every bag, and a beachfront full of cafes, holiday lets and short-stay bookings that all run on a laptop or a tablet. A MacBook that took a splash at the Haven, a booking machine that won't boot in peak season, a home laptop whose fan is packed with sand — these are the Terrigal jobs that land on our bench weekly. iFix is a short run inland at 3/221 The Entrance Road, Erina, with the ultrasonic cleaning and microsoldering gear that salt and liquid damage actually need.
By car it's a short run inland via Terrigal Drive to The Entrance Road at Erina — roughly 8 to 10 minutes to the workshop, with free off-street parking directly out the front. If you'd rather leave the car at the beach, buses 67 and 68 run between Terrigal and Gosford via Erina Fair, so we're right on the route. Drop the machine in the morning and stocked-part jobs are usually ready before we close at 5, or 3 on Fridays. For anything salt- or liquid-related, ring first on (02) 4311 6146 so the ultrasonic bench is free when you arrive — speed matters with corrosion.
Sea spray, a spilled drink at the cafe, a bag left open near the surf. Salt water keeps corroding long after it dries — switch it off, don't charge it, bring it in. We clean and rework at board level, not a rice-and-hope job.
Liquid damage guide →Cracked panel from a beach-bag knock, dead backlight, or sand-scored glass. Dell, HP, Lenovo, Acer and ASUS panels in common sizes are usually same-day.
Laptop screen guide →Overheating, throttling, or a charge port that won't seat because it's packed with grit. We strip the machine down and clean fans, heatsinks and ports properly — not a can of air through the vents.
Swelling, sudden shutdowns, or a "Service Recommended" flag on a machine that runs your bookings. Genuine-capacity cells, calibrated, 12-month warranty.
Battery guide →We fix phones and tablets on the same bench — iPhone screens, iPad screens and PS5 and Xbox HDMI ports come in from Terrigal households all the time. One trip inland can clear the lot.
Salt, sand or a spill got your machine? Don't power it on — call us first.
The reason a beachside laptop is different is corrosion. A counter that swaps screens can't help a board that's been through salt water — that's a microscope-and-soldering job, and doing it fast is the difference between a $200 clean-up and an unrecoverable machine. We'll tell you straight if a device is past saving, and when it is, you keep the data and can step into a bench-tested unit from our refurbished range.
