OUR DIFFERENCES
If you invest a lot of time and effort in setting your phone up to your liking and you find it indispensable, you want to protect that investment by making sure the device stays in good working order. Unfortunately, accidental immersion in water has the potential to do lasting damage to the phone unless you know how to respond quickly.
The first thing to do is to dry the circuitry carefully using compressed air, then immerse the phone in uncooked rice for a few days to encourage further drying. The next step is to check your phone’s warranty. The phone’s manufacturer provides details as to what it covers when you purchase the phone. These warranties vary.
If you find that the phone is out of warranty entirely, consider a good cellphone repair service to get your phone back in working order. There are resources available online to walk you through the process of shipping your phone or dropping it off to get it fixed. Since water damage is a common problem with cellphones, repair companies have the tools and skills to ensure the job is done right. If you are not familiar with the inner workings of your cellphone, it is best to leave repairs to the pros. Otherwise, you are likely to end up with a pricey paperweight.
When dealing with a cellphone that suffers water damage, the key is to act quickly. Leaving the phone to air dry or using compressed air to dry the phone does not always give you desired results. If your phone is out of warranty, consider a reputable repair service that understands how to deal with this issue.
