Liquid Damage Repairs Sydney

What you should do if your phone gets wet

From falling out your back pocket straight down the toilet, being dowsed in alcohol or going for a swim in the ocean, there are a number of ways our electronics can get wet. If you have found yourself in this dilemma, firstly you should always power off the device and leave it off.

Water Damage Repairs & Recovery Services

You have a few options if your phone gets wet or you may just need to recover the data inside. Contact a member of our team today and we are happy to discuss what option is best for you.

F.A.Q

  • Is it worth fixing liquid damaged phones?

    Yes and no, it depends on what other options are available for you. The cost of repair vs. the price of a new phone and the level of damage inside the device. Liquid damage repairs always come with risk, just by opening a heavily corroded device can damage it permanently. First question you should be asking yourself is, do you have all the data secured? If not and your device is still functional, do a backup as soon as possible as the real damage from liquid happens over time and your phone may not have long. If your device does not power up, you should focus on just getting the data recovered as opposed to fixing the device. We can recover the data from most devices that have been exposed to moisture or liquids. If you don’t need any information from the device then it might be a good idea to see what your network provider or manufacturer can offer you. For instance, if you have an iPhone and you don’t need the data, you can take the device into any Apple store and exchange it for a new/refurbished handset. The price of swapping the device is not much more than the cost of repair and as liquid damage comes with no guarantees and no warranty, servicing the device may not be the best option for you. Even after a successful liquid damage repair we would only give the device a 50/50 chance of survival.

  • How do I get my data back if my phone has been wet?

    In most cases, even when they don’t power on, we can recover the data from liquid damaged phones. In fact, the only service we recommend our customers for devices that have been wet is data recovery. If your phone is still functional, we highly recommend to do a backup as soon as you can. If your device is dead then bring it to our recovery experts and they can get to work extracting your data.
