How Mobile Repair is different from Industrial Electronic Repair?
People often accidentally drop their phone in the sink, toilet, swimming pool, etc. Once they realise that the ‘deed’ has been done, they hastily switch-on the phone damaging the phone’s integrated circuit to an extent that cannot be repaired. They should remember that by doing so, they are not doing any good to their phone. Hence, in such a situation it is always best to keep calm and follow the following steps to make your phone recover to its fullest.
1. Take out the phone from the water ASAP – A phone has numerous small holes and ports which can allow the water to enter deep inside the phone. So, in order to avert any major damage, grab your phone and take it out from the water as quickly as possible so as to switch it off immediately otherwise it might get a short circuit. A switched-on phone that gets submerged in water will get a short circuit any moment leaving its IC damaged beyond the scope of repair.
2. Dissemble the phone’s contents – Most phone circuits will get saved from water damage, until and unless they are not plugged in to a power source. Dissembling the contents of the phone should be the next step. Lay the phone on a bed sheet or a napkin. Wipe the outer surface with a towel and then start removing the contents like battery, SIM card, memory card etc. one by one. This will give you access to the area where damage might have occurred.
3. Dry the insides of the phone – Even a single drop of water left inside the phone can be fatal for it. Therefore, it is important to dry out the phone and remove as much water from its insides as possible and this needs to be done quickly. Gently wipe-off the water and avoid any shaking or moving of the phone or else water droplets present in the phone might reach to other parts. Make use of a dry towel or rubbing alcohol to dry out the phone as much as possible. Electronics repair Winnipeg is a term now synonymous with quick recovery for water damaged electronics goods.
4. Draw-out moisture with a hygroscopic substance – Widely advised by the various industrial electronic repair shops, this method makes use of a water absorbing element like uncooked rice, Rice cereal or a regular desiccant packet that of silicone. Submerge the phone overnight in any of these products as they will easily absorb any remaining moisture with a lot of ease. Rotate the phone to a different angle every hour before going to sleep for better results.
The above mentioned steps are the tried and tested ones that promise to repair the phone. However, if your phone has undergone extensive damage then it is best to hand it over to someone who specialize in electronic repair in Winnipeg.
