Water damage is a race against corrosion. Even “water-resistant” phones fail when seals age or the water is salty, soapy or chlorinated.
Do this right away
- Switch the phone off and do not turn it back on to test it
- Do not charge it — power plus moisture causes short circuits
- Remove the case and SIM tray and wipe off the outside
- Bring it to a repair shop within 24 hours
Why rice does not work
Rice only dries the surface. Moisture and minerals stay inside and keep corroding the board. Our technicians open the device, clean the board in an ultrasonic bath and replace damaged parts — see our water damage repair service and book an urgent repair.
