Water damage is one of the main reasons consumers need to have their cell phones repaired. Dropping their phones in the toilet is the number one cause of cell phone water damage. Unfortunately a huge percentage of these people rely on home repairs to salvage their cell phones. These repairs fail more often than not.
A recent report explains why these failures occur. If you think of your cell phone like a rusting car, you’ll quickly and clearly get the picture. Your 10-year-old car has several patches of rust that weren’t obvious when the car was two or four years old. That doesn’t mean that rust wasn’t already at work.
The same goes for your cell phone that has been damaged by water. Even though you buried it deeply in that bowl of rice to draw out what you deemed the majority of the moisture from its unfortunate foray into the toilet, it’s impossible to get all that moisture out without professional cell phone repair intervention. In time, that trace amount of moisture will turn to corrosion and debris, and those elements will eventually destroy your phone.
Like the rusty car, you won’t see the damage all at once. It might begin with the screen going black on occasion. A short time later you might notice the wifi isn’t working or your cell phone no longer holds a charge. The scenario will surely end with a dead cell phone that could have been prevented had professional services been used.
Don’t risk the longevity of your cell phone with home repairs following water damage. Seek out a reputable cell phone repair business and let the professionals save you both time and money.
