Phone fell in water? Time matters a lot — water plus electricity equals corrosion that gets worse every hour. Service Room has the ultrasonic cleaning equipment and experience to actually save water-damaged phones.
What we do for water damage
Immediate disassembly
As soon as you arrive — we remove the battery and stop the corrosion.
Ultrasonic cleaning
We submerge the motherboard in a specialized solution — removing existing corrosion, dirt and minerals.
Component inspection
Under microscope — we identify which components failed and which are still alive.
Component-level replacement
Flex cable, IC chip, capacitor — board-level repair where possible.
Battery & charging port replacement
These are typically the first parts to fail from water.
What you should do before arriving
1) Power off the phone immediately. 2) Don't press buttons, don't shake it. 3) Don't put it in rice — that's a myth and doesn't help. 4) Bring it to us as fast as possible. The earlier you arrive, the less corrosion and the higher the chance of full recovery.
Why Service Room for water damage

Standard 'drying' isn't enough — proper cleaning requires equipment.
Skilled diagnostics
We pinpoint exactly what failed — no blind component swaps.
Honest expectations
If recovery isn't possible we'll tell you straight — you won't pay for a fishing expedition.
Water damage FAQ
My phone was in water for 1 minute — will it survive?
Chances are high if you powered it off immediately and didn't try to charge or turn it on. The faster you bring it in, the higher the chance.
I put it in rice for 2 days — is that enough?
Unfortunately rice doesn't actually dry the inside of a phone or stop corrosion. It just absorbs ambient moisture from air. Bring it in — proper disassembly and ultrasonic cleaning are what's needed.
