Do you get frustrated when your cell phone gets soaked in water/ tea/ coffee/ other liquids? Don’t be if you follow these simple steps as precautionary first aid measures.
Most of the people don’t follow the basic steps to avoid a water-soaked cell phone from getting damaged. The basic thing to follow is the procedure to avoid the damages on the circuit board of the mobile phone as it is what an engine is to a car. The main difference between mechanical gadgets and electrical gadgets in terms of repairing or fixing is that a mechanical gadget can always be repaired, while an electrical one cannot be repaired if its circuit board gets damaged. (This is because in case of cell phones, you lose warranty for a water damaged cell phone and the service centers don’t provide a new circuit board in such cases. Also circuit boards of mobile phones are not available in open market.

Steps to repair a water damaged cell-phone -
When your cell-phone gets water-logged, the first thing to do is to remove the battery immediately. ( This action prevents the circuit board from getting damaged as water is a good conductor of electricity. It spreads on the board and damages small components with the help of voltage coming from the battery). Don’t just switch-off the phone, as it will do no good if the battery is not removed.
Next step is to open the mobile phone with the help of a screw driver, and to dry the green-colored circuit board and other components completely with a hair drier or in open sunlight.
Now clean the circuit board using alcohol or spirit with a brush. This will prevent any corrosion of the circuit board in the future.
If you have failed to remove the battery immedietely, you can still try to repair it with steps 2 and 3. If you fail to revive your cell phone with theses steps, I am sorry you will have to get your cell phone repaired by a professional cell phone repair engineer or at a local repair service center.
