Determine the extent of the damage to your iPhone

When you visit your local iPhone 4 repairs company in Adelaide, be sure to come prepared with an assessment of the exact problem. This will help to guide the repairers about the potential problem, and therefore the best way to fix the situation. And be honest, because a technician can take one look at your phone and your face and tell if you're blatantly lying.

In some cases, your phone might be covered by warranty. Like many other cell phone manufacturers, Apple builds moisture sensitive strips into its phones which can detect water damage. In the iPhone 4 and 4s Repairs Adelaide, these strips can be found either on the docking or charging port, or just below the headphone jack. These sensors are originally white or silver, and turn red when the phone has been in contact with water. This is how manufacturers can tell very easily that your story might not be true. Red here will invalidate your warranty claim, unless it covers accidental damage as well. So while it is a certainty that any phone that has been dropped in the pool or taken a spin in the washing machine will be red, it might be possible for you to be in the clear if your phone just saw very small levels of moisture.

So once you have determined water damage, what now? There are several types of water damage, or more specifically, there are several symptoms that suggest water damage to your phone. It's common for water to seep into the phone and be visible as dark spots or bubbles beneath the surface. The good news is that this issue can be fixed. It is not as bad as having a phone that will not turn on altogether, and it leaves the repairer some room to try and test what is going on and experiment in finding a solution. The bubbles indicate that water has got into the screen, and so most likely the LCD will need replacing. However, much of the time the rest of the internal components of the phone are in perfect working order.

If the problem is that the phone will not turn on altogether, then there is a bigger problem at hand. The issue likely arose because you tried to turn on the phone too soon after it was exposed to water. This will fry the motherboard and short circuit, even if there is only a drop of water inside. The right thing to do when your phone is exposed to water is to remove it from the moisture, take it apart and dry it out, before trying to turn it on. However, this information will not help you if you've already left it too late or tried to turn it on. Tale out the battery and SIM card as well, as these more significant pieces might be able to be saved if they are immediately removed. Once all of the components are separate, take them to your repairer for assessment and expert assistance. In this case where your phone is not even responding, several internal components will need to be replaced. The battery might be the main thing damaged, so to make sure, try to locate another one that you can replace in your phone to see if it rectifies the situation.

Either way, water damage is a serious issue and really needs to be looked at by a professional for the highest chance of saving your phone. Drying the parts out does help in the short term, but the salts left behind by the water will eventually corrode the materials.
