If Your Smartphone Got Wet, Get a Cell Phone Repair ExpertIf You’re Reading This… Your Phone’s Probably Soaked!Splash!!!
It’s a terrible sound, and a horrible sight. More than likely, if you’re reading this, your phone is still sopping wet and you’re worried and wondering what’s the best way to proceed from here? If that’s the case, you undoubtedly need options and you need them now! You call some friends but, everyone has a different opinion. “Fix it yourself with some rice!” some say. “No, use kitty litter,” others insist. A workmate says to just take it apart and let it sit for a few days, while someone else emphatically states that it’s a total loss. The good news is that the professionals at Cell Phone Repair Orange can restore it, like new. |
But this is why you must act quickly…

Time is of the essence whenever a smartphone, tablet or digital camera has been accidentally exposed, or immersed in water or any other harmful liquid. Almost immediately corrosive oxidation begins on a microscopic level eating away at internal electrical components and motherboard connections. Also at risk are the charging ports, headphone and auxiliary jacks and battery connections. Corrosion at this level rapidly makes the unit vulnerable to short circuits and component failure. Water damage should be taken seriously if you hope to salvage your expensive electronic equipment.

Avoid the “Advice About Rice”
|
It’s absolutely amazing how many “home remedies” have cropped up in recent years designed to mitigate water damage in electronic devices. One of the most popular “do-it-yourself” fixes has become the use of simple household drying agents to absorb moisture from the inside of devices that have been immersed. Phones and tablets that have drowned are opened up and then with their internal parts exposed, are packed into containment vessels filled with any one of a half a dozen of the drying agents mentioned above. The most widely used of these improvised desiccants is uncooked rice.

Let A Cell Phone Doctor Help, Not “Uncle Ben”
The popular belief among DIY’ers has been that dry uncooked rice adequately absorbs the moisture from inside the devices that have become wet or have been immersed in water. The reason for this ever expanding, albeit untrue belief has been, “I saw it on the internet…So it must be true!“ Sadly, independent tests have clearly demonstrated the opposite to be the case. So don’t attempt to rescue a drowned smartphone with rice. You need a cell phone doctor. Not the services of a chef.
If Drying Agents Don’t Work… Then What?Independent testing has shown that exposure to open air as a method of drying internal parts, performed as well if not better than the use of improvised drying agents. They also demonstrated that a focused air flow, i.e. a fan was highly effective after opening the phone’s housing in order to maximize exposure to the air stream. It’s also important to note that if there are contractual concerns about the ramifications of opening up the device, it’s a moot point. At this juncture, it’s best to forget about any warranty, because it was undoubtedly voided the instant the water penetrated the device and tripped the factory installed water damage indicator So which will it be DIY, or the right way?

DIY or Leave It to the Professionals
Either way… Remember, Delays are Deadly Time wasted on do-it-yourself procedures has been shown to drastically decreases the chances for your device’s recovery. Delays promote oxidation, thereby substantially increasing overall repair costs. DIY restoration can negatively impact effective data retrieval as well. So why risk losing your valuable data by using home remedies. Why drag out and extend your downtime. There’s no need to inconvenience yourself any further. Get your phone repair done by professionals.
A water saturated device can quickly impact the battery. In many cases being waterlogged will cause a battery to swell and bulge, which often leads to inadvertent screen deformation. The first 24 to 48 hours consumed by attempting home remedies can be unexpectedly costly. Time wasted in this fashion can dramatically decrease the phone’s survival rate . You require a clear cut path to your cell phone repair, not a list of do-it-yourself experiments. Give your expensive equipment the professional service that it deserves.
