iPhone Water Damage Repair

If you have a water damaged iPhone your in the right place....

Obviously you should know whether or not your iPhone has water damage but just to start remember you get your phone wet, don't touch anything no buttons nothing! If you do it will most likely short circuit the phone. If you did well it's not too late your phone might still be repairable. I once got my iPhone submerged on a log ride at Playland, and accidentally turned it back on and it flashed white and eventually powered off. I thought I was finished.




So what to do.....
1) Get the tools needed to open an iPhone, I use once of the smallest slot screwdrivers available and a suction cup. You can do it without the suction cup but will risk damaging the seal around the glass screen.
2) Get a hairdryer
3) Take it apart..... follow these steps below don't worry its pretty easy.

Once the battery is removed, also remove the USB port at the bottom, there are 3 screws. Note your iPhone might look a lil different this is a 3G, just disconnect all cables carefully.

4) No set up the hairdryer to dry these parts(not the battery), for about 40 minutes, the USB port the longest. I've had problems with the USB port before, it only worked after 2 days of drying.

5) Let sit overnight, or for a couple hours.
6) Make sure no water or moisture remains, if so blow-dry.
7) Assemble and start up
