Cell Phone Water Damage Repair

We’ve all heard about the rice trick for water damage repair but did you know all that does is speed up the drying process of the wet phone? While it is true that this might sometimes fix the phone, your phone would have been fixed if you had left it to dry overnight (rice or not).

Electronics and water do not go together and your phone will still function after the water has dried out from your rice water damage repair trick. However, once you put your phone into rice you run the risk of letting your phone dry out and potentially corrode the internal components of your cell phone.

There is a very good chance that your phone will never work again due to the corrosion caused by water damage and we recommend that you seek professional water damage repair for your phone.

Your best bet to have your the water damage repaired on your cell phone is to get the internal components cleaned up properly with an isopropyl solution at a cell phone repair store like Phone Guru that specializes in water damage repair.

We help people like you fix their phones every day because we are experts in this field.

If you have a phone that has a removable battery in it we suggest you pull that out ASAP. Do not try to turn on your phone because turning it on can short circuit it. A short circuted can make the water damage repair next to impossible.

We also suggest that you don’t plug your phone into the charger after you have exposed it to water. Charging your phone in this state will also short-circuit it, making water damage repair very difficult and could also damage some of the internal components of your phone.

Just bring it into Phone Guru in Vancouver and we will have a look at it for you. Our initial diagnosis of the water damage (or any other kind of diagnosis) is free so you have nothing to lose by bringing it in.

We cannot guarantee a specific time period for the water damage repair service as every situation is different. Depending on the workload, it could take up to 3 days to fix the water damage. However, we can repair most phones faster than that.
