How to repair a wet iPhone if it won't turn on?

iPhones are more prone to accidents in water and a wet iPhone may not turn on or, if it does, will eventually give problems.

When an iPhone gets wet with water, two things can happen: nothing can happen to it with a simple splash, or, water can seep inside the iPhone and damage some parts. Even any liquid can affect the iPhone.

Remember that the Apple Service will not repair any iPhone when it has been wet or damaged by liquids, even if the device is still under warranty.

How to fix a wet iPhone

Attempting to repair a wet iPhone on our own can mean further aggravating the problem.

Typically, the components of the phone that usually deteriorate in an accident with water or other liquids are the iPhone screen, the battery and the motherboard, in the event of a short circuit.

The most common consequences of a liquid-related accident are as follows:

• • Wet iPhone will not turn on

• • Wet iPhone has a black screen

• • Wet iPhone does not ring

• • Wet iPhone does not charge

• • Wet iPhone gets hot

• • Wet iPhone stays on the block

Turn on the iPhone to check that it is working

If, after getting wet, the iPhone is still on, we must turn it off to avoid activating the phone and causing an internal short circuit. If we find it turned off and it seems that the iPhone does not work, we should not turn it on in any case.

So what should we do with a wet iPhone?

In addition to turning off the device, to get a wet iPhone repaired we must dry the device with a napkin, cloth or towel, remove the SIM card and go to a Datasystem store. In this way, if internal leaks have occurred, we can prevent them from damaging as few components as possible.
