iPhone Water DamageIs it possible to fix water damaged iPhones? Contrary to what many people believe, repair can succeed, even if the device has been totally submerged in water. If you take the correct steps immediately, there is a high chance that your iPhone can be brought back to life again.

What To Do to Fix Your Water Damaged iPhone

  • Make sure that the device is off and do not switch it on again
  • Open the case and take out the SIM card
  • Without going to extremes, shake out any excess water and dry it with a clean, dry cloth
  • If you do not have silica, put some rice into a bag, and place the device into the rice immediately after you have dried it off
  • Search online for companies that do repairs on water-damaged iPhones, and contact them as soon as possible.

Don’t imagine that by putting your iPhone in a bag of rice, it will get perfectly dry and work as normal again, because it probably won’t.

Effects of Water Inside an iPhone

Even if there is just one drop of water left inside your iPhone, corrosion can set in very quickly. Eventually this can damage your device beyond repair. The repair company that you send your iPhone to should have the expertise to remove any liquid or oil damage from your device. It is possible to get it working as good as new again.

If this proper process is not carried out on your iPhone, it will probably work for a while. However the features will start dying out one at a time as corrosion takes over.

How to Fix Water Damaged iPhones

Make sure that you find a company that specializes in repairing water damaged iPhones, rather than taking it to the manufacturers, who will only replace your iPhone with a reconditioned one, at a price of about $200, and all the data from your old device will be gone for good.

Companies specializing in fixing iPhones damaged by water will give your device a thorough diagnostic. Then they can fix any problems that might be preventing your iPhone from operating normally. The best thing about such companies is that you can send your phone via mail to the company. Then after they fix it, they will send it back to you, making it a hassle-free process. The next time you accidentally drop your iPhone in water, just send it to us and we will fix it for you.

iPhone water damage repair – Can a phone be fixed after getting wet?

Here’s a real-life iPhone water damage scenario: Beautiful day, the sun is shining, the weather is great. Friends and family are over for a nice BBQ by the pool. Your buddy decides to shove you into the pool as a prank. You laugh until you realize…Ahhhh, your iPhone is in your pocket! You immediately jump out and begin to panic.

WHAT DO YOU DO?!

Here’s a little breakdown of the game-plan; EXACTLY what you should do. Remember, time is of the essence.

  1. If the phone is ON, TURN IT OFF! Just do it. Water and electricity combined are not what you want. Give them some time apart.
  2. DO NOT TURN IT BACK ON!
  3. Remove any case that you may have on it and remove the SIM card.
  4. Dry it with a towel, and shake out excess water.
  5. Place phone in a bag of silica gel beads, available at most hardware stores. If you don’t have any silica gel on hand, you can put it in dry rice while you go to the store.
  6. Visit our website and select the appropriate iPhone Water Damage Repair service for your generation of iPhone.

You may be saying, well, if I put the iPhone in a bag of silica, and it sucked up all the water, what is the point of sending it in for water damage repair?

When water gets inside a smartphone, even the tiniest amount, corrosion builds up…and quick. We have seen phones with the insides covered in corrosion in less than 24 hours after water exposure.

Our process cleans any kind of corrosion or oils that may have accumulated on the circuit board after it was introduced to water. Without a proper check and cleaning, your phone may work after drying out, but you may lose features one by one in the following days or weeks. Corrosion grows a bit like rust, where it spreads sometimes quickly and sometimes slowly.

If you bring a water damaged phone into Apple, they will gladly exchange it for you…for a steep price. With the exchange, you’ll lose all of your data, and the replacement they give you is a refurbished model, not a new one.

Don’t go through that hassle. Follow the steps and then send it off to iFixYouri as soon as possible. Remember…

  • Turn it OFF
  • Place it in a bag of silica gel or rice
  • Select your generation of iPhone on this page: iPhone Water Damage Repair
  • We’ll fix it, test it, and ship it right back!

We are able to revive iPhones from water damage with a high success rate. Included in the water damage repair process is the replacement of any parts that may have been damaged in the spill.
