My phone took a dive into a pool yesterday. I got it out quickly and dried it off, but now it's having issues. The screen flickers, buttons don't work properly, and it keeps restarting. Looking for smartphone water damage repair advice. Is there any hope or should I start looking at smartphone data loss recovery options?
For smartphone water damage repair, time is critical. Immediately power off the device and don't try to charge it. Remove the SIM card and dry everything with silica gel packets or uncooked rice. The biggest mistake people make is trying to turn it on too soon. Even if it seems dry, moisture can still be inside causing shorts.
