yo so like i dropped my phone in the pool and it automatically shut off it’s been 11 days and i put it on the charger like twice and the flashlight turn on what does that mean?
Hey My phone was submerged in water for 2 minutes- I tried to get it checked but It didn't work . I need to recover my data. Is there anyway I could send it to you and you get it fixed. I will be really pleased. Please do reply.
Me who just used icyprob alcohol At least all I have to do is like buy $50 of parts because I thought the phone was unreppairable so I smashed the screen that somehow still works after a big chunk of it came off. Also I had an iPhone 6 that I took in the shower and died after but I just wait like 3 weeks I think and it was back to normal besides the display that was messed up. Fun fact typing this too long of a comment of the same iPhone 6 but I practically replaced everything but the motherboard
I dropped my iphone se in the bathtub the other day. I pulled it out and sat it upright on a tower while I thought about what to do next. Then I put my clothes on ran to the kitchen and graved some rice. After 1-2 hours I took my phone out of the rice and sat it on a radiator to make the water evaporate.after about an hour of that I put it on charge and went to bed. The next morning there was water damage on the screen but that just disappeared. My phone still worked the whole way through all those steps. Now my phone is back to normal. That was only 3 days ago.
i dropped my iphone 6 in the sink and now the home button wont work as well as the bottom part of my key board. everything else seems fine. I'm really hoping it doesn't get any much worse before i can get it in for repairs. smh
Thanks! What's your recommendation for the mesh covering, is it ok for it to remain unattached/glued after it's been cleaned or will that cause a short or moisture damage to wreak havoc down the road?
What product did you use on your tooth brush to brush the board? Is it possible to use isopropanol solutions that are used as nail polish remover, or even 90% ethyl alcohol?
My phone is water damaged but the thing is it’s working perfectly fine (I’m using it right now) but the display is just not clear (I don’t know how to describe it but the display is faded and has tiny lines) is that fixable?
No parts replaced in this vid. We have customers who are always curious about the process we go through when we are performing water damage restoration, so we made the video to take them through the steps. Often times you have to replace the battery when phones have water damage, sometimes charging flex, screen, camera, etc. We didn't really make the vid to just fix the phone, but to show the steps.
I have a serious question. So I have an iphone 6 that is water damaged and its been like that for 2-3 years. Is it fixable or is there no hope? PLEASE RESPOND
Should be no issue. I did that with my pool drowned 6s and I just icyprob alcohol cheated it and it worked even with a smashed display, everything but dock as I broke that when the phone was broken
@@lucexgames1153 ... when did you drop it in the toilet and for how long was it in the toilet... if it wasn’t in there long it might be safe but if even some water got in it might be a good amount of cleaning if cleaning fixes it
I put my phone down on a table and dint notice it had water on it, when I picked it up water had gone through screen now there’s discolored spots on my phone. What should I do?
Hey My phone fell in the toilet water and when I picked it up it started to glitch such as the flashlight flickering on and off and the screen is pitch black.I tried to dry it as much as possible then I got rice and placed it in it ..Is that ok? Since I’m not even in my country at the moment ...I really need the easiest way... Will it be the same like all the info in there and that stuff??
Shaker Mufti Same thing happened to me because I forgot my phone was in my back pocket so it fell right into the toilet totally sumurged into the water ( the flashlight was glitching for me too) and I took it out, took off the case and the SIM card and put it in a container full of rice and it's the next day now and my phone still won't turn on
These comments have me scared. I was exercising and had the phone in my chest and it just got a little water on the screen. The screen is looking a little faded now and i put it in rice. However I can't take off the phone the touch is gone for the moment but I'm praying it comes back.
Hay, so I accidentally took my phone swimming in Lake Michigan and it’s not working. This was back in June of this year and I was wondering with it being a few months since my phone hasn’t worked, if it is fixable or not. If not, I have some experiments I want to do with it.
i dropped mine on the pool at first it still works i changed the screen battery and charging port but still wont open is there any chance that it will still work ? the board just heats up when i plug the charger thankkkksssss
Everything is working except the speakers and the ear speaker! It wasn't dropped into water but got some water that leaked out of the shower. Idk what to do. I tried using a vaccum to suck out any water from the speakers. I have a 6s. Any advice? Do I shut my phone off? My music won't play and I when I call someone I can't hear them and they can't hear me I don't think. It doesn't ring when I call someone either. The headphone port works fine.
you removed the sticker on the board but did not show if you replace it or put it back, is it ok to just leave it open and not put any stickers back? thanks
Dunno if you read comments, but will this work on a phone that hasn’t been turned on for two years? It was destroyed when my mom unknowingly put it in the wash and it went through one cycle
Well I put it in the chargee and it says I have to put it in the original one cuz I was using a fake oneee and yea idk what to do now super niceee :) it even shows me the withe apple Sigh but it's not opining any idea how to fix it fast with something that everyone uses at home?
Unfortunately the newest operating systems are not always fully compatible with older phones, which is often times what causes slowdown. Also if your memory is almost full it will slow down a ton.
I Went Jetsking Today And I Put My IPhone In The Pocket Thing Of The Jetski And When I Came Back I Noticed A Dark Blue And Light Blue With White Line On Near The Home Button My Sister Told Me There Was Clumpy Stuff In The Speaker But Nothing Else Is Bad Not Even The Sound Is Bad I Don’t Know If It Was Heat Damage Or Water Damage

So I uh.. Dropped my iPhone 6s in the toilet...? 🤣 uhh some parts patched up as in some parts darkened up and my iPhone is frozen whenever I try to type in my password...Uhh any solutions..?
Dropped mine in the toilet two days ago.. now the screen, sound buttons, and the shut down mechanism don’t work. Screen has red lines throughout it with different gradients. Is it too late?
You need a basic phone repair kit that would include a pentalobe screwdriver, phillips head size 00, a flat tip screwdriver, and a guitar pick would get the phone open. You would need an ultrasonic cleaner and Branson EC fluid. A soft bristle toothbrush, 91% or higher rubbing alcohol. We also use a hot plate or a preheating station to dry out the circuit boards quicker. It's not really worth doing it all yourself unless you plan on opening a shop and repairing more. It would be pretty cost prohibitive.
Cellular Mekanix i got a iphone 6s and i replaced the battery,charging port and cleaned the motherboard which was with 91% alcohol.but it wont turn on how do i know if the phone is fried or if i need a new screen?
I dropped my phone in a river. My brother jumped in for it thankfully. I got home and as you said put it in a bowl of rice. It still worked and came on, everything was okay but my sound. I charged it over night and in the morning it isn’t turning on. I still hear my phone go off when I get a notification. Is my phone unfixable or can it be fixed?
If it is still coming on but no image then most likely there is corrosion buildup around the LCD connector. That will need to be scrubbed off at a minimum and possibly the screen replaced.
i have an iPhone se that got a little water on it everything works except the bottom 2 lines of qwerty keys on text and can't hang up phone when i make a call -I disconnected screen and cleaned connectors but same prob. -can i mail it to you? turn around time?
Hi man, I’m new to fixing water damaged phones etc. Would you be able to tell me all the products you used including the machine? It’s an ultrasonic clearner right? Thank you!!
Yeah, we use an ultrasonic cleaner. Brand isn't a big deal, just make sure that you get one large enough that it will fit circuit boards for larger phones. If you want to do iPads or computers as well, you are going to have to get one that is much larger, but the larger you go the more you will pay. The one we have here works great and I think it was only about $150 or less when we bought it, but you can buy them for less than $100, just read reviews before you purchase. The rack we use to dry isn't really supposed to be used for that purpose...it is an old preheating station for soldering that we re-purposed as a circuit board drying rack. It just allows us to get them fully dry during the same work day sometimes, otherwise you always want to leave the board to dry overnight, and even then if you have some plates covering the components that you didn't de-solder, liquid can be trapped. I feel it is best to heat them. They also started selling "water damage repair machines," which are really just pressurized ovens that will evaporate water quickly...they don't actually do anything about the corrosion, but I have considered purchasing one because you can dry out the board in just a few minutes. The fluid we use is called Branson EC. We buy it by the gallon and a gallon lasts for months. We get it from a company called All-Spec and it costs about $35. Otherwise, just a soft bristle tooth brush would give you a basic kit. To go more advanced you would need an entire soldering rig and microscope, but for most people just having the ultrasonic, the fluid, some alcohol and a toothbrush, and somewhere to dry the boards out will work just fine.
My brother dropped my iPhone 6s on water and that was my first ever iPhone so I was sad sad and it won’t even turn on anymore and my mum took it to a repair store and they said they can fix it or anything..
erm will this work with a phone that i dropped and now doesnt have a thing protecting the inside where the home button used to be and i got water it in and i dont even know how to fix it?
Mine didn't dropped in a pool or toilet,Yknow that when u make rice there is hard rice in it,so my mom STACKED UP ALL PLATE and left the thing were u make the rice with water,my Iphone was charging,I went to the kitchen and accidently moved da thing wut water,it started bipping but I thought it was notifications,when I went to see the notificacions my Iphne was working but it had ALOT of weird lines,wut do I do..?
I dropped my phone in the toilet few days ago. And it’s not powering on. Can I repair it the same way u did even though I don’t have that little thing to soak my board in. Also I need to make sure all the info is still on my phone will removing the board erase anything? Help please
Use at least 91% rubbing alcohol and you can do at least most of the steps. It will not erase anything. There are forensic data recovery businesses that can still recover the info from your device, even if it isn't repairable.
Thank you! Great presentation.👍 It would be so much better though if you 'lost' the background music, particularly as you are 'talking'. The music is far too loud. 👎👎
I was outside at school and I was running and then my phone (which aren’t supposed to be at school) fell out of my coat pocket and got snow/frozen rain in it wait holy crap my volume just came back on no joke lol
ok so my iphone 6s screen turned black for the second time, becuase i got a few droplets of water on the screen , mind you its cracked badly. the first time it went black its because of the same tings, it was raining and some droplets got on the screen. I left it out and alone the first time to air dry and it didnt turn back on until 2 weeks. now that i accidentally got water on my screen again I now put it in rice. to quicken the process. I don't have the tools you have to fix my phone or money to take it to get repaired so this is the next best option, any advice please? i would really like my phone to turn back on soon
Rusty screws are the worst. I've tried baking soda, rubber bands, and all of the other tricks found online. Sometimes I've just taken the whole phone minus the screen assembly and dropped it in the ultrasonic. But the truth is, if there is that much rust in the phone, it probably isn't coming back anyway.
It's called a pentalobe screwdriver. You can get them on ebay, amazon, etc. Used to be able to get them at Radio Shack (RIP). Not sure if any box store sells them in repair kits or not.
My phone started acting up because I spilled water on it. It first started shutting off without my help, and I didn’t really care. But then the volume started increasing to the point any one could hear me. And I’m just sitting there like: WhAt JUst HAppeNeD
First thing is disassemble it and check for corrosion. After a month there isn't likely to be any moisture in the phone still, but corrosion is what would be the most damaging. You can use rubbing alcohol and a soft bristled toothbrush to remove it.
hey man i recently messed up my i phone in sea water ... i let it dry thoroughly and then replaced the battery, port and began to fit the old existing screen to the i phone six when i was hearing an audio crackle from the screen, i quickly removed this and put another old existing screen on the i phone six which hasn't been water damaged and still getting the audio crackle. i did have life in it for all of a few seconds but quickly disconnected the screen to prevent further i phone damage. is there anyway in cleaning the board with alcohol etc and without using all these tools as i dont have the facilities for this. my main priority is just to get my data off my phone and the rest is a bonus. drop me a private message if you can help a brother out ! cheers.
Just scrub it with 93% or better rubbing alcohol and a soft bristle toothbrush. That's the best advice for someone without tools. You can also soak the board in a bowl in the rubbing alcohol. In sea water your board likely has salt on the board which is causing shorts, so clean that up and see what happens.
My moms Iphone 6s is water damaged a bottle of water leaked in her bag and went all over her phone so now it messes up when I go to lock it , it randomly goes to the lock screen the , it screenshots , it goes in silent and it turns off is it fixable
HI @cellular mekanix I have an iPhone SE that was vibrating alot and the screen was off (blank screen) it was very hot and quite an amount of water got into it and is repairable by any chance.

Cellular Mekanix hey bro, I have a 1 month old iPhone XS and it took a little trip with me to the shower. I believe that only the screen is messed up but I’m not sure. I really don’t have the cash to spend so I was wondering if you could help. I really need you man and i live across the country. The phone has just been sitting in rice and. The screen had green lines before I decided to shut it down. Then it won’t start up and I’ve tried everything. Should I open it up and try the rubbing alcohol or something. Please reply or contact me at hashbrown66666@gmail.com

Yes, you can get it fixed, but I don't think you can at home. You would have to take it to maybe a phone doctor in a mall, or some place like that.
Yeah it probably needs a new display.

The phone didn't have a water proof seal??
i have an iPhone se that got a little water on it everything works except the bottom 2 lines of qwerty keys on text and can't hang up phone when i make a call -I disconnected screen and cleaned connectors but same prob. -can i mail it to you? turn around time?
Did you clean fpc connector on the LCD, not just the circuit board? If that's the only issue it will likely be fixed with a new screen.
Nice vid also what’s the 2nd song playing in this vid cheers
Hi man, I’m new to fixing water damaged phones etc. Would you be able to tell me all the products you used including the machine? It’s an ultrasonic clearner right?
Thank you!!
Yeah, we use an ultrasonic cleaner. Brand isn't a big deal, just make sure that you get one large enough that it will fit circuit boards for larger phones. If you want to do iPads or computers as well, you are going to have to get one that is much larger, but the larger you go the more you will pay. The one we have here works great and I think it was only about $150 or less when we bought it, but you can buy them for less than $100, just read reviews before you purchase. The rack we use to dry isn't really supposed to be used for that purpose...it is an old preheating station for soldering that we re-purposed as a circuit board drying rack. It just allows us to get them fully dry during the same work day sometimes, otherwise you always want to leave the board to dry overnight, and even then if you have some plates covering the components that you didn't de-solder, liquid can be trapped. I feel it is best to heat them. They also started selling "water damage repair machines," which are really just pressurized ovens that will evaporate water quickly...they don't actually do anything about the corrosion, but I have considered purchasing one because you can dry out the board in just a few minutes. The fluid we use is called Branson EC. We buy it by the gallon and a gallon lasts for months. We get it from a company called All-Spec and it costs about $35. Otherwise, just a soft bristle tooth brush would give you a basic kit. To go more advanced you would need an entire soldering rig and microscope, but for most people just having the ultrasonic, the fluid, some alcohol and a toothbrush, and somewhere to dry the boards out will work just fine.
you're using alcohol with the toothbrush, correct?
Yes, rubbing alcohol. You want to use at least 91 percent.
Cellular Mekanix I’m gonna use 90 percent.
My brother dropped my iPhone 6s on water and that was my first ever iPhone so I was sad sad and it won’t even turn on anymore and my mum took it to a repair store and they said they can fix it or anything..
Now much would a lg g stylo be?
Just easily take the board out and soak it in alcahol
@@Obs.mingus the thing is I have tryed takeing off the gry back cover so I can taje out the board but, the bottom camera screw does not come out 😑😑
It really depends on whether or not it needs parts.
Can somebody answer my question, what if you let the phone sit with the water still in it then you finally put it in rice
How am I supposed to listen to this when I have no sound?😭😭💀
erm will this work with a phone that i dropped and now doesnt have a thing protecting the inside where the home button used to be and i got water it in and i dont even know how to fix it?
Mine didn't dropped in a pool or toilet,Yknow that when u make rice there is hard rice in it,so my mom STACKED UP ALL PLATE and left the thing were u make the rice with water,my Iphone was charging,I went to the kitchen and accidently moved da thing wut water,it started bipping but I thought it was notifications,when I went to see the notificacions my Iphne was working but it had ALOT of weird lines,wut do I do..?
Prob a motherboard issue try cleaning with icyprob alcohol
I can't hear you with background music too loud.
You do this with iPods as well? Does it reset the whole phone?
I dropped my phone in the toilet few days ago. And it’s not powering on. Can I repair it the same way u did even though I don’t have that little thing to soak my board in. Also I need to make sure all the info is still on my phone will removing the board erase anything? Help please
Use at least 91% rubbing alcohol and you can do at least most of the steps. It will not erase anything. There are forensic data recovery businesses that can still recover the info from your device, even if it isn't repairable.
Thank you! Great presentation.👍
It would be so much better though if you 'lost' the background music, particularly as you are 'talking'. The music is far too loud. 👎👎
where did u get your tools?
I was outside at school and I was running and then my phone (which aren’t supposed to be at school) fell out of my coat pocket and got snow/frozen rain in it wait holy crap my volume just came back on no joke lol
How long does this process usally take
An hour but we like to dry it overnight before reassembly.
Does that work for iPhone 7 and 8
ok so my iphone 6s screen turned black for the second time, becuase i got a few droplets of water on the screen , mind you its cracked badly. the first time it went black its because of the same tings, it was raining and some droplets got on the screen. I left it out and alone the first time to air dry and it didnt turn back on until 2 weeks. now that i accidentally got water on my screen again I now put it in rice. to quicken the process. I don't have the tools you have to fix my phone or money to take it to get repaired so this is the next best option, any advice please? i would really like my phone to turn back on soon
Sorry for the slow reply, hair dryer works but if water got into the phone and caused corrosion, then you will have to disassemble it.
trying to take out the battery but dealing with rusty screws, any advice?
Rusty screws are the worst. I've tried baking soda, rubber bands, and all of the other tricks found online. Sometimes I've just taken the whole phone minus the screen assembly and dropped it in the ultrasonic. But the truth is, if there is that much rust in the phone, it probably isn't coming back anyway.
Get new set of screws and drill out the old ones. That works on automobiles
Can you fix my iphone 6s too? My son drop my phone into the water
bro, how do i get that iphone screwer that can open the 2 bottom things
It's called a pentalobe screwdriver. You can get them on ebay, amazon, etc. Used to be able to get them at Radio Shack (RIP). Not sure if any box store sells them in repair kits or not.
Does this process whip all the information within the phone itself not the icloud
Is there anything I could use other than the thing if water and the 120° hot plate thing that'll work and do the same thing??? Please let me know
My phone started acting up because I spilled water on it. It first started shutting off without my help, and I didn’t really care. But then the volume started increasing to the point any one could hear me. And I’m just sitting there like:
WhAt JUst HAppeNeD
My phone dont even turn on
sxniz then how are watching?...
Jp Delgado different device🤣
Mine's too. 😭😭😭
Hey my iphone 6 its gray it fell in water a almost month ago is there anytips to help on what i should do
First thing is disassemble it and check for corrosion. After a month there isn't likely to be any moisture in the phone still, but corrosion is what would be the most damaging. You can use rubbing alcohol and a soft bristled toothbrush to remove it.
Closed caption gang wya ?
hey man i recently messed up my i phone in sea water ... i let it dry thoroughly and then replaced the battery, port and began to fit the old existing screen to the i phone six when i was hearing an audio crackle from the screen, i quickly removed this and put another old existing screen on the i phone six which hasn't been water damaged and still getting the audio crackle. i did have life in it for all of a few seconds but quickly disconnected the screen to prevent further i phone damage. is there anyway in cleaning the board with alcohol etc and without using all these tools as i dont have the facilities for this. my main priority is just to get my data off my phone and the rest is a bonus. drop me a private message if you can help a brother out ! cheers.
Just scrub it with 93% or better rubbing alcohol and a soft bristle toothbrush. That's the best advice for someone without tools. You can also soak the board in a bowl in the rubbing alcohol. In sea water your board likely has salt on the board which is causing shorts, so clean that up and see what happens.

iPhone repair man is a money making business. Lol
can it be repaired if the phone is more than 2 days
My moms Iphone 6s is water damaged a bottle of water leaked in her bag and went all over her phone so now it messes up when I go to lock it , it randomly goes to the lock screen the , it screenshots , it goes in silent and it turns off is it fixable
HI @cellular mekanix I have an iPhone SE that was vibrating alot and the screen was off (blank screen) it was very hot and quite an amount of water got into it and is repairable by any chance. If so i live in England is it possible to send it over or something or can i be referred to any in England, or you??
can I send you my phone to fix. I bought a new screen, charging port and battery.
I dropped my iphone 7 in water like 3 months ago and i had it in rice and i did everything i was supposed to do but it wont turn on or anything. Do you know how to fix an iphone 7 thats been water damaged that long? @cellular mekanix
Yes, we have brought phones back that have been in a drawer for years. It all just depends on the extent of the damage.
It wont turn on or anything i tried to dry it out and everything but idk what else to do
Cellular Mekanix hey bro, I have a 1 month old iPhone XS and it took a little trip with me to the shower. I believe that only the screen is messed up but I’m not sure. I really don’t have the cash to spend so I was wondering if you could help. I really need you man and i live across the country. The phone has just been sitting in rice and. The screen had green lines before I decided to shut it down. Then it won’t start up and I’ve tried everything. Should I open it up and try the rubbing alcohol or something.
