Water Damage Repair in Wilmington NC & Raleigh NC
While the idea of drying out your water damaged cell phone in a bag of rice sounds logical and is advice often provided by friends and family, it isn’t really a cure for cell phone water damage. In cases when water damage to your cell Phone or smart Phone has seemingly been reversed by immersing it in rice, the take away knowledge is that your Phone wasn’t really as wet as you thought it was.
Water seeks its own level, and will travel inside your cell phone wherever it can find a path of least resistance. But water damage is fickle, and until you open up the case and disassemble the components, it’s impossible to detect the true nature of the cell phone water damage done to your device.
Trying to restore your cell phone is sometimes not economically feasible. With all the different models, manufacturing standards and component layouts, each wet phone and water damage case is unique for each wet electronic device.
Factors that determine whether cell phone water damage is “repairable” include the quantity of water that go inside the cell phone, the makeup of that water, quality of the water, what kind of water entered, whether the buttons were used after getting wet, and how charged the battery was at the time the cell phone got wet
Water Damage to Smart Phones
Nearly all wet phones can be fixed with enough time and money. But just like a totaled car after an auto accident, it’s not always economically feasible. Tech folks call these water damaged cellphones B.E.R, or “beyond economic recovery”. The labor and replacement parts costs outweigh the cost of a new phone.
