Here are a few more entries from our contest that we are hosting along with 9to5mac.com! Keep them coming…we pick our first winner on Friday to get their iDevice fixed for freeeee!

Here’s a handful of reviews for our iPhone 4 water damage repair service.

2011-06-24 Balshanker …. Not only did water penetrate my phone, but sunscreen managed to find a way into the phone as well. Honestly, I didn’t think these guys would be able to fix my SEVERELY DAMAGED phone. In a few weeks I got my phone back, and it’s working like new. I’m really impressed, I would definitely recommend these guys.

2011-06-20 Paul …. Had my phone in a shallow vest pocket and I just so happened to pick the toilet to drop into. As I hurried and picked up the phone I accidentally hit the sleep button… the screen lit up for half a second… I’d thought it was gone forever. I’m from Canada and I couldn’t find decent repair places eh until iFixyouri sent my phone back in full working order, THANKS!

2011-06-06 Jenny …. I dropped my phone in… uh, let’s just say I got my iPhone wet. Sent it in, and within a week, I had a working phone again! Sooo happy!

2011-05-10 Lenny …. Ok — I literally sat in a jacuzzi for over an hour with my iphone 4 in my pocket. I pressed all the buttons like an idiot, then stuck it in rice to fix it. had some luck, but the battery was shot. Like a miracle, these guys fixed my phone and replaced the battery for under 90 bucks. Amazing. Lenny from Birmingham, AL

2011-04-09 Colton …. Jumped in the pool over Spring Break. Heard about iFixYouri from a buddy. I did put my phone in a bag of rice after for a few hours, but sent it in that day. They called me a week later and said it was good to go (just needed a new battery). Around $100 to fix my iPhone4 vs. buying a new one for $400+!
Thank you iFixYouri team! I will be recommeing your service to all my friends and classmates at Indiana University

2011-02-27 Jessica …. Their iPhone 4 water damage repair service worked for me and I dropped my phone in the toilet. Their communication throughout the process of fixing it was phenomenal. I would definitely recommend this company to everyone.

2011-02-11 Michelle …. Great service. Can’t believe they fixed it!

2011-02-06 Todd …. iFixYouri handled everything very professionally. I was very nervous at first about sending out my phone to anyone. I read good things about them and decided to give it a shot. They had my phone fixed and sent back very quickly and did an excellent job at repairing it. Thank you so much!

2011-01-29 Catherine …. Totally amazed. I was out partying one night and spilt my drink all over my phone. It died and would not do anything. I was googling around and found i fix your i. Their iphone 4 water damage repair service seemed reasonable. Apple wanted me to buy a whole new phone since i voided my warranty with crandberry and vodka. I sent it in and the boys over there fixed it. So great. Ill tell everyone i know to use these guys. You guys are my saviors! Works perfect again!

2011-01-03 Dimitri …. I had no idea that you could fix a phone that has been soaked. I swam with my phone in the ocean, and i was abotu to get a new phone, but my buddy sent me this site on facebook. I sent it out and got it back in under 3 days. Just like new. Pretty sick.

With new technology coming out every day, its tough to see an end in “what will they come out with next.” I remember the day when cell phones hit the market and people were carrying around a large briefcase that was actually their phone. They’ve evolved quite a bit over time and now they’re so small, sleek, and shiny with their fancy touch screens and features. Was their water damage back in the day? Probably if you got stuck in the rain carrying your briefcase. It’s not like today where you stick it in the pocket of your Boardshorts and forget it’s in there until you go for a swim. All the major manufactures are designing these crazy awesome devices that will do everything except print money to pay for themselves. HTC water damage repair, iPhone 5 water damage repair, samsung water damage repair, it doesn’t matter what device you drop, there will be a need for repair. Devices will evolve, and unfortunately people will be careless. On a good note, we’ll be here to help though.

iPhone water damage can be a real tragedy. At iFixYouri, we’ve repaired hundreds of thousands of water-damaged devices, and heard every kind of story imaginable. You can be enjoying a beautiful summer day when your good buddy decides to cool you off with a little surprise dip into the pool. Unfortunately, your iPhone takes a dip with you.

Now that it’s nice and hydrated, what happens to your phone?

What a lot of folks do is let it completely dry, maybe in a ventilated place or next to a heater. Once it’s dry, they turn it on and start using it again. This is probably the worst thing you can do. If you never take your phone for a proper cleaning of the motherboard and other internal parts, corrosion and mineral deposits will sit on the board and slowly eat away at it.

Think of it as rust on a car. You may start with a small pit mark, but with age and time, this pit mark will spread to something far more significant, damaging the rest of the body work. Over time, your phone’s parts will die one by one, and eventually you will have a non-working phone. With a quick cleaning performed as soon as possible, your phone can have a full, healthy life post-dunk.

So why exactly does a water-damaged iPhone stop working? What does the corrosion do?

In this image, you can see a short on one of the circuits. This is caused by either the phone being powered on during initial contact with the water, or the attempting to see if the phone still has power by trying to charge it. These are both big no-no’s. If your phone gets wet, immediately power it off and do not charge it. Place it in a bag of silica gel and get it professionally cared for.

There are 3 or 4 water damage sensors on every iPhone, depending on the version: 1 in the headphone jack, 1 in the dock charging port, and 1 (or 2) on the mother board.

Corrosion on any of the circuits, coils, or resistors needs to be removed properly. It will spread, cause shorts, and malfunctions if it is not cleaned using the correct equipment.

The combination of any of these will cause your phone to not function correctly. Contrary to what people believe, a the majority of water-damage issues can be repaired and phone can be brought back to good, working condition. If you happen to drop your phone in water, please contact us as soon as possible. We’re here to help, and by all means, reach out to us. Water damage repair is a very difficult process, but the rock-star technicians at iFixYouri have years of experience and can quickly, easily, and affordably get your phone to like-new condition and back in your hands as soon as possible.
