What to Do If Your Phone Gets Water Damaged
As Sabko Phone, we frequently notice damaged phones by water, whether it is by accident or getting wet from the rain. Water damage is no joke, but the right thing at the right time might just save your phone. Based on what we learned by doing it ourselves, here’s what you do—and what you don’t do—if your phone gets wet.
What We Recommend You Do Right Away
1. Turn Off the Phone Immediately
So, the very first thing that we always tell our customers is to turn the cell phone off immediately. The biggest thing that could potentially go wrong is shorting the circuit, which could cause damage to the device.
2. Remove SIM Card & Accessories
Remove the SIM card, memory card, and phone case. It helps to remove moisture retention and increase airflow.
3. Dry the Outside Gently
A soft, dry cloth is to be used to wipe the phone. Based on personal experience, shaking or blowing water out of the ports into the phone is not helpful.
4. Keep the Phone Upright
Put the phone upright to enable gravity to drain water out of the charging ports and speaker grills.
What We Strongly Recommend You Avoid
In Sabko Phone, many phones that have come in for repairs after being damaged by water have further deteriorated because of
Immediately charging the phone
– Using a hair dryer, heater, or sunlight
– Submerging the phone in rice (unsuccessfully wet and messy)
– Mashing buttons repeatedly
These tend to cause more harm than the water.
Common Water Damage Indications Found in Homes
Despite your smartphone looking normal at first glance, there could be damage inside. Some of the symptoms of a smartphone with a cracked display or damage from immersion in water include:
– Phone won’t turn on

Often, corrosion will build up in a manner that allows inspection to be a key factor in its early stages.
