iPhone water damage repair
Water damage is the one repair where nobody can promise an outcome before the phone is open. What can be promised is an honest assessment: the board is cleaned and inspected, and you get a straight answer about whether it is recoverable before any money is spent on parts.
The price
$49 diagnostic
The assessment and cleaning come first. If the phone is recoverable, the parts figure is quoted and approved; if it is not, you are told plainly and pay the diagnostic only.
- Do not charge it
- Power is what turns a spill into a dead board
- Board level
- Cleaned and inspected, not just dried
- Honest answer
- No promise of a fix before it is open
Diagnosis
What to do in the first hour
- Power it off and leave it off, do not charge it
- Do not put it in rice, which adds dust and starch to the damage
- Bring it in the same day if you can
- Expect a camera lens or speaker to fog before anything else
Scope
What the assessment covers
- Disassembly and removal of standing moisture
- Corrosion inspection under magnification
- Ultrasonic cleaning of the board where it is warranted
- A clear recoverable or not-recoverable verdict
How it runs
Power off, board out, corrosion stopped before anything else.
01
Stop the current
A wet phone that is charged is a phone shorting itself. Power off, no charging, no heat gun, no rice.
02
Open, clean, inspect
The board comes out, corrosion is cleaned and the logic board is inspected under magnification rather than dried and hoped over.
03
Verdict and quote
If it is recoverable, the parts needed are quoted. If the board is gone, you get that answer plainly and the diagnostic is the only charge.
