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.
