What happens if your iPhone gets wet?

Sure, we fix iPhones, but if your phone gets wet, there is only so much we can do! But all is not lost... I have revived phones that have been completely submerged in water! How?

There are three critical things you need to do to ensure your phone survives a drowning....

#1) TURN IT OFF!!!! Yes, it might actually turn back on, but DO NOT DO IT! The more it is on while there is ANY moisture in the phone, the more damage it will cause!

#2) Get a Bag of Rice. Any bag will do, just a bag of rice. Open it, and place your phone inside. The rice will absorb the majority of the moisture out of the phone while you do step #3

#3) Contact US ASAP through facebook, email, my website, or phone (if you have another phone).

Since Apple doesn't cover water damage, you will loose your warranty anyway, but we will open up your phone and clean the components, extract any residual fluids, and run some tests on the phone before we turn it back on to see if there are indeed shorts in the phone. If your phone recovers, it could take as much as a week to regain consciousness.

So remember, OFF, RICE, and CONTACT US when you get your phone wet.

  2. I just dropped my phone in the toilet and it is still working, but the light went out on the phone so it's hard to see. If I turn off my phone right now is it possible that the light could work again or is the light shot? I need the light for taking pictures as well as being able to see my screen well. Thanks. http://www.hendersoncellphonerepair.com/
