• Is it cost-effective to repair or is it better to go straight to the store for a new gadget?

Can a drowned iPhone 6 be repaired?

If this trouble has happened to you - your iPhone 6 got into a liquid - you shouldn't panic right away. You need to focus and carry out all the necessary rescue measures - the sooner you do this, the more chances that the "drowning" will remain without consequences.

The main problem is that when a liquid enters the device, the oxidation process instantly starts - evaporating moisture, combining with oxygen, actively oxidizes everything where it gets. Oxidized:

• microcircuits;
• connectors;
• plumes;
• resistors;
• capacitors.

And if you start accelerating drying, the oxidation rate will also increase. Even worse, if this liquid is salty sea water or, for example, chlorinated water, coffee, Coca-Cola, then you should rinse the apparatus as soon as possible with a stream of plain water, or even better - distilled water.

But the very first step to saving your device is turning it off. If this is not done, a short circuit may occur, after which a cross can be put on the device.

The algorithm of actions when water gets into the iPhone 6 is as follows:

1. Turn off the device.
2. Deliver it as quickly as possible to a service center whose masters you trust.

What not to do if liquid gets into iPhone

In order not to aggravate the situation with the "drowned" iPhone, you definitely do not need to do the following:

• put the gadget on charge;
• trying to dry with a hair dryer or vacuum cleaner - this will only worsen the situation;
• lay on or next to a working heating radiator - this will only speed up the process;
• to bury in rice is useless;
• warming up in a microwave oven - this will irrevocably "kill" the phone;
• wrapping in fabric - will not change anything at all;
• disassembling yourself is a waste of time.

The fact is that the drying of smartphones in such cases is carried out using special equipment, disassembling it, you will only speed up the oxidation process, but you will not be able to stop this process. And this is exactly the case when time is against you - the longer you delay a visit to the master, the less chances you have to save your favorite phone.

The price of repairing an iPhone 6, which got water

The price for repairing a "drowned" iPhone 6 depends on how badly the components were damaged. If you go quickly enough to the center, where they will clean it in an ultrasonic bath without delay, the less the cost of repairs. And only the master can determine the amount of damage after the main procedure, which consists of several stages. Quite often it is found that they have failed:

• accumulator battery;
• motherboard;
• display.

Then the cost of repairs increases. Bottom line - the total price depends on how much your machine has suffered.

How the iPhone 6 is cleaned from water

Proper cleaning of iPhone 6 can only be done with special tools. The process of "saving" the iPhone is carried out in this order:

• immediate disassembly of the device;
• condition analysis;
• dismantling of modules, loops;
• cleaning contact tracks;
• processing with special means, cleaning plaque;
• the motherboard is processed and placed in an ultrasonic bath for 3-4 hours;
• then the board is dried and cleaned again;
• the smartphone is assembled and tested for damage detection;
• unsuitable components are being replaced.

Is it worth repairing an iPhone 6 that drowned?

Most often, in such cases, gadgets fall into a hopeless state due to the sluggishness of their owners, who are trying to fix on their own what only a master can do with the help of special equipment. Do not waste time - go to the professionals to save the iPhone.
