Water Damaged iPhones. Don't give up hope.
Water Damaged iPhone? iPhone Thirsty?
Mission Repair is here to help. Yes, it's a panic and your stomach gets that sick and sinking feeling as you watch your beautiful iPhone fall in slow motion into the sink or worse! Don't worry, we've heard them all, and soda covered iPhones are not necessarily doomed. Let us explain. . .
QUESTION: Can Mission Repair fix my water damaged iPhone?
ANSWER: We want to try! Basically, any problem can be fixed. The question becomes "is it worth repairing?" Without actually seeing the iPhone and having one of our expert technicians perform a complete diagnosis, we can't really tell over the phone how much the repair will cost. This is why we diagnose iPhones for free!
QUESTION: What should I do after my iPhone takes a bath?
ANSWER: First turn off your iPhone (by holding the top power button and home button down for approximately 6 seconds) then dry it off with a
towel, then place it in a bag of plain uncooked rice. Then leave the bag of rice
complete with iPhone in sunlight, or another warm/dry place for about 24
hours. The rice will wick the moisture out of your iPhone which immediately increases your odds for an "easier" repair! DO NOT put your iPhone in the oven, even at low temperatures. DO NOT use a heat gun to dry it out. DO NOT attempt to turn it on for at least 3 days after the accident. Any moisture remaining could easily cause further damage.
QUESTION: My iPhone got wet and now the screen is white. Do I need a new LCD screen?
ANSWER: It's possible! But since water can easily infiltrate the circuitry on your iPhone, your LCD might still be OK. It might be that the connector on the LCD has started to corrode, or the connector on the logic board needs to be cleaned. There are many possibilities when liquid spills occur and if you don't NEED an LCD, we won't quote it! MANY cases our technicians will simply disassemble the iPhone, clean all of it's components, and reassemble it. It's kinda like magic!
QUESTION: Ok, I want Mission Repair to take a look. How do I get started?

Note: These Questions and Answers are NOT Apple, Inc. recommended. Apple recommends that you buy a new iPhone. We recommend that BEFORE you buy a new iPhone, you send it to us for a free diagnosis and report. There's no obligation to have your iPhone repaired, so it's worth getting an order placed with us!
