What to do When your iPhone has Liquid or Water Damage

What to do when your iPhone gets water or liquid damaged.

There are a few simple things you can do when your iPhone 3, 3GS, 4, 4S, or iPhone 5 gets wet. The first thing many people try is to turn on the iPhone. This is a mistake and should be avoided at all costs. Turning on your device or attempting to power it up via a charging dock cable can and will cause additional damage to your phone.

• Do NOT turn on your iPhone
• Do Not plug your iPhone into a wall charger or dock cable connected to a computer
• Place it into a bag of rice and leave it in the rice for a few days. It takes a good deal of time to fully remove the moisture from a tightly sealed device.
• Bring it to Repair Sharks! We can open your iPhone and clean all the vital components. Water will corrode all the internal connections very easily. It is surprising to see just how fast the corrosion process starts. Powering up your device will speed up this process and can also short internal circuits. Repair Sharks can de-oxidize your internal connectors and motherboard protecting it from further damage.

Water damage in an iPhone can void your warranty. When this happens you are limited to what options you have for getting your phone working again.

Finding the Best Long Island iPod, iPad, iPhone Repair Service

Repairing today’s cutting edge devices is a dynamic skill set that more closely relates to jewelry repair and dental work rather than the skills your local PC repair technician would have. The skills needed to handle such repairs are unique and require many years of training to learn. Many people attempt these repairs on their own thinking they can perform a task that took a professional years to master.  Books and videos are great sources of material but real world experience and on the job training generally provide the best resource for learning. Repairing the electronics of an iPhone or iPad can’t be learned over night. Many high level technicians spend years studying electronic components. The new methods of soldering and repairing boards are much different from the stuff we saw 20 years ago.

What solutions are out there for having your iPod, iPhone, or even iPad repaired?

We have seen many companies come and go when it comes to repair. Television repair services have either adapted or succumbed to the changes in technology. New companies have popped up and a new field of electronics has been emerging recently. This new field has also seen an influx of amateurs looking to get in on the action. Unfortunately this also means amateur work. It is important that when you are looking to have your expensive iPhone 4, 4S, iPad 2 or 3 repaired you should consider a few important factors.

Length of time in business – Due to all the changes in these devices the companies that have adapted and grown with the industry the longest will have the best experience levels. This usually leaves you with a handful of choices in the country so don’t always choose the first place you see. Working on a $800.00 phone can cost you dearly in the end if something goes wrong.

Experience of Technicians – Technicians should have adequate knowledge in the workings of electronics and electronic components. They should be able to use a variety of tools to complete their task. Many high level technicians have attended electronics and computer schooling to learn their skills.  Do they have references?

Business Reputation – Do they have repeat customers?  Did anyone recommend you? Are they honest and legitimate? It’s not hard to start a business these days, just about anyone with thirty dollars can do it.

Services – What type of services do they offer? Do they just handle a few devices or can they fix a variety of equipment?

Data Security – This is one of the most important factors and often overlooked. How do they handle your device? Are your documents and personal information safe with the company you are dealing with?

There are many factors into picking the best repair shop but in the end the decision is yours. Whatever repair solution you are looking for keep these tips on mind.
