It is not easy dealing with a phone damaged by accidental drowning it in water, sometimes it requires the service of a professional technician from a cell phone repair shop in Arkansas. However, let us say you are stuck in a remote location wherein establishments are hard to find such as in a forest, then doing the repair yourself is actually possible as long as you have the right tools to operate with your phone.

To start with the process, you would need an isopropyl alcohol, a soft-bristled brush, a microwaveable food container that will fit your phone or basically anything that is deep enough for your phone to be submerged. This process will not totally guarantee that your phone would function back to normal, however, it will clear away any water residue left, remove or avoid any corrosion or debris and will help you find out which parts you need to be replaced from any iPhone repair Arkansas in case it totally gets damaged.

  • Try to look for any water residue that may be visible from the sides and openings such as from your external dock or headphone jack, it is okay if you cannot see this as the damage may be beneath your LCD screen or inside your logic board.

  • Upon taking apart your phone, be wary of the cables that you may interfere with such as the dock connector that will be stuck to the midframe.

  • Upon taking it apart, you may notice that the damage sticker has now turned pink, which is an indicator that has been damaged by water so it is easy to determine by professional technicians if it is still valid with its warranty. If there are corrosions from the water damage, it would easier for you to see by now.

  • By now you should remove the logic board shield cover, however, not necessary as it may do more damage to the small components on your board. By now, prepare your plastic container and fill it up with the isopropyl alcohol so you can soak the logic board to soften the residue and corrosion by the water damage. After submerging it, try to sweep away the debris with your soft-bristled brush.

  • After doing so, you must clean the battery, connectors, fuses and flexes with the same brush. Continue cleaning your phone until all traces of residue can no longer be seen and allow it to dry completely before you begin to reassemble the parts of your iPhone.

  • Unlike for your logic board, your LCD screen must never be immersed in alcohol, instead, pour isopropyl alcohol onto a cloth and wipe it on the lCD screen, water marks should no longer be visible after this.

  • Reassemble your phone back to normal and it should function normally. If not, bring it to the closest cell phone repair shop in Arkansas as soon as you can. However, when in doubt of your own skills, entrust this process to a professional technician instead whom can guarantee to bring back your phone into its former glory.
