Short answer

Often yes. We can usually resolve physical damage, including cases that look unfixable, and we can spend up to 30 or 40 hours on a single repair. Please bring the device to us first, because earlier repair attempts can cause further damage and, in rare cases, mix up internal components, which makes recovery impossible.
