Liquid damage common myths dispelled.

One factor which is very important with liquid damage is time the amount of time taken to get your device looked at. The sooner you are able to get your phone in to be looked at the higher the chances of its survival. When any Device comes into contact with liquid it starts a chain reaction.  The power supplied by the battery arcs across all the devices components causing oxidization to occur, over a short period of time this can develop into a rust type substance. It is very important that where ever possible to remove your devices battery, if your device has a non removable battery; such as an Apple iPhone or Apple iPad it is of paramount importance to get this device to us as quickly as possible.

Another factor of how successful liquid damage cleaning can be is what liquid the device has been dropped in or spilled on. Highly sugary liquids such as Coke and Lemonade pose more of a threat than liquids such as water.

There is a common myth that putting your device in rice in order to dry it out. This does not work and if your device has a non removable battery it is actually causing more problems than solutions.

 All our water damage repairs are disassembled to component level and cleaned with special alcohol in an ultrasonic printed circuit board cleaner.

Users information such as contacts, messages and photos can usually be saved, and the amounts of new components that need to be fitted are minimised with the amount of time taken to get the device looked at.

On the small occasions that a device is not repairable we may still be able to back up all your data to a DVD or other removable media.

Liquid damage cleaning prices start at fifty pounds. Which comprises of a non refundable inspection fee of twenty five pounds and if the device is successfully repaired without any parts being used a final payment of twenty five pounds to be payable on collection of the device.

Liquid damage cleaning procedures can take up to three working days but are usually completed a lot quicker (subject to the availability of parts) due to the time sensitiveness of the repair.

Below are a few examples of Apple iPhone repairs when parts are required:

1. Apple iPhone 4 which after being successfully liquid damaged is unable to take charge from a charger would require a new charging dock. This repair would be eighty five pounds in total, fifty pounds for the liquid damage cleaning and thirty five pounds for the charging dock connector.
2. Apple iPhone 4 which after being successfully liquid damaged is unable to hold charge when an charger is plugged in would require a new battery. This repair would be eighty five pounds in total, fifty pounds for the liquid damage cleaning and thirty five pounds for the battery.
3. Apple iPhone 3GS which after being successfully liquid damaged has no backlight on the screen this repair would require a new 6R8 backlight coil. The repair would be seventy five pounds in total, fifty pounds for the liquid damage cleaning and twenty five pounds for the 6R8 Coil.

It has come recently to our attention that other Leeds based repair centers are cutting vital corners when repairing iPhone’s. The attached picture shows a iPhone which has been attempted to be repaired by another Leeds based repair center (Which we will not name here, but I’m sure they know who they are) They are offering LCD/Digitiser repairs at a fraction of the price of the competition.

The attached picture shows an iPhone that has been repaired for cheap by a rival repair center, for the picture it is missing its EMI Shields which protect the iPhones other compontents from Electromagnetic interference caused by the iPhone when making and recieving calls. Also what is not clear is that there were also several other key components missing which were present before the repair was carried out.

iPhones are expensive electronic devices and sometimes a cheap repair may seem better than one that costs more.  Why risk geting your phone back with some of its components missing for a cheap repair?

The iPhone below ended up costing the customer twice as much to replace the components that were taken out when the LCD/Digitser was changed by this un named repair center.

Here at Gadgets Fix we pride ourselfs in our workmanship and guarantee that no iPhone will leave with missing parts etc.

We are proud to be the first store in Leeds to offer the iPhone 4 light modification. So if you want this unique feature on your iPhone, come in store today or contact us. This modification takes around a hour, however this modification is much sort after – so be sure to come in as soon as possible. We look forward to seeing you soon!

Gadgets Fix are happy to announce we are now repairing iPad 3 screens and digitisers in our Leeds store. So if you have dropped your new iPad, come into one our our stores and we can repair your iPad.
