Is your device suffering from water damage? Moisture is notoriously bad for gadgets, often rendering them completely useless. Although many of today’s gadgets are now water resistant, they are not waterproof, so extended exposure to liquid can cause them to become faulty. 

Common causes for water damage include: dropping the device into the toilet, bathtub, or swimming pool; spilling a glass of water on it, leaving it outside in the rain, or discovering that you accidentally forgot to remove the device from your pocket before it entered the washing machine.

Liquid damage can cause a buildup of corrosion, minerals, and debris which must be removed from the logic board and/or other internal circuits and components via special equipment. No matter if it’s a spill, splash, or submersion, we can help.

Common signs of water damage include:

1. If your device is completely dead or is stuck in a “boot loop” where it continuously restarts; or if you are greeted with a white screen during startup.
2. If you notice that your speaker or microphone have begun to fail, or the device overheats or becomes extremely hot to the touch.
3. If your device refuses to sync to the computer, or you receive errors when hooking your device to its charger, such as “Charging is not supported” or “This accessory is not made to work with your device”.

If you suspect that your device has been damaged by liquid, don’t wait until the water damage indicator turns pink. Act quickly as time is critical with a wet device.
