Give it to a child 30% Drop down the stairs Water Damage Myth: "Placing my iPhone in a bag of rice will fix water damage." The rice helps to evaporate water, but what remains after is salt and minerals which are Truth: corrosive agents and are still sitting on your logic board. Not a good idea!

Steps to take if your iPhone is dropped in water: OFF 48 HOURS If your phone is still on, turn it off immediately.

Once the water gets into your iPhone it is very easy for you to make the water evaporate. But what remains after the evaporation kills your iPhone component one by one. Minerals form on the contacts and on the logic board causing corrosion, which eventually makes your iPhone go dead. What are the odds of it working again? If the iPhone was totally submerged in water for more than a minute or went through a full washing cycle, then the chances of it working again are super low. On the other hand if it was submerged in for less than a minute, or the water is condensation due to steam in shower, or it was in your pocket in the beach with water exposure intermittently then your odds of 70% recovery are 70%. Some shops charge the repair fee only if it works, otherwise the charge is waived. They will take out functional parts from your iPhone and will always convey that the repair failed. No charges for you. But now your iPhone is totally dead and put together with broken parts. We do not do that. We explain our process very clearly and that is why we have to charge $49 if we fail as we spend time and parts on your iPhone. D49 FedEx. What do we do? Express $12 At step 1 we check your iPhone for the level of minerals and corrosion; if we observe too much corrosion, we stop right there, as there are less than 10% chance of it ever working. Not worth the time and money. In this case you are charged just $12 for return FedEx 3 Day shipping. What if we find that the damage is not that bad, and repair can be attempted? Then we go to step 2 of deep cleaning of the logic board and components. We also change the batteries as part of the repair. This is because the batteries go dead with water and lose their full charge capacity. We also check if any other parts need replacement. The replacement of one part (the battery) is covered in Water Damage Repair, but you have to pay for any other parts in need of changing. $99 Now the Result: :) WORKING There is 70% chance of iPhone working fine after step 2. If the iPhone works perfectly after step 2 then you pay $99. $49 If the iPhone does not work perfectly after step 2 then you pay $49. Price includes FedEx 3 Day shipping with Insurance.
