If you are among one of those users who recently
dropped their iPhone in a liquid (say water or tea) accidentally but
immediately picked up the device thinking nothing occurred, and later realized
that your iPhone is malfunctioning, then the chances are that your iPhone has
gone through liquid spill water damage. You need to know that spill
and splash of water, and resistance from dust might go down from normal wear
and iPhone repair will be needed shortly.
How
will you confirm that your iPhone has gone through water damage?
To clear your doubts regarding whether or not
your iPhone has water damage or not, you need to go through a few simple steps.
·
Beginning
with removing your iPhone cases and finding the sim card tray, place it on the
right side under the side button. The tray has a tiny hole in it.
·
Make use of
tray removal equipment, press on that hole under your sim tray, and remove the
tray. Now get a litmus paper and tuck it in the same hole. Flash any light into
the slot and see for a red colour.
·
If you
notice a red colour, it means a negative sign.
This signifies that the Liquid Contact Indicator
(LCI) of your iPhone has been activated and that liquid (water or tea) got into
the device. You should have seen a white colour, but if that is not the case
with your iPhone, then the sign is of damage. This is when you will know that
you need an iPhone repair service.
What
will you do if your iPhone caught water?
·
If you have
by mistake spilled other liquid and not water on your iPhone, the first thing
to keep in mind is to not plug the charger on your iPhone device. Next, you
need to clean your iPhone with the help of a clean and soft cloth, say the
cloth that you use for cleaning your spectacles.
·
Check and
see that there must be no liquid or water when you are opening the tray of the
sim. The sim tray and the earpiece are the two most common areas where the
liquids mostly enter your iPhones.
·
If you have
spilled some liquid beside the charging connector, you need to gently
press or tap the iPhone on your hand but make sure that the Lightning connector
faces downwards so that the excess liquid can be removed. Keep your iPhone in
front of a fan and then directly blow air in the Lightning connector to fasten
the process of drying.
·
Do not try
drying your iPhone with the help of any heat source or by insertion of a
foreign object, say a cotton swab in your Lightning connector. If a portion of
the cotton swab or a piece of paper is left in the connector the charging of
your iPhone might be affected.
·
You must
come across a lot of suggestions that are shown online, that as keeping your
iPhone in a bag of rice or using a dryer in the iPhone or a heating source.
Never try or believe in them. You will end up thinking your iPhone is restored
but the water inside will destroy components causing bigger damage.
·
It is
recommended to turn off your iPhone and go to a trustworthy service center to
get your mobile cleaned inside. Here at Buzzmeeh, when you contact us for your
iPhone repair, we use the IPA (isopropyl alcohol) and also a good quality
ultrasonic cleaner to remove the deposition of water, salt, liquids, and other
minerals from the components of your iPhone motherboard.
How
will you prevent intense liquid damage?
Do not use your iPhone in the following
situations:
·
Swimming,
taking a shower or doing any water sports where your iPhone will be exposed to
water for a long.
·
Near a
steamer, or a sauna room. If your iPhone is kept in humid conditions, the
chances of water particles entering your iPhone increase and it activates the
Liquid Indicator.
All types of iPhone water damage repair are
taken care of at Buzzmeeh, iPhone water damage repair depends on the damage
level too. If the iPhone has been brought for repair almost immediately within
