Good to know

Signs of water damage: it won't turn on, or the screen acts up. A "liquid detected" message, muffled sound, or Face ID that quit.

Water leaves salt and residue that keep eating the board. We open the phone, clean it, and test the screen, battery, port, camera and sound. Then you get a free quote.

We can't promise a wet phone will live, or that your data comes back. If it turns on, back it up right away. Ask us and we tell you the honest odds.

Wet phone questions

What should I do if my phone falls in water?

Turn it off. Take off the case. Dry the outside. Do not charge it. Then bring it in. Exotic District in East Oakland checks wet phones free, until 10 PM every day. The sooner we clean it, the better the odds.

Does rice work?

No. Rice does not pull water out of the inside. It only wastes hours while the damage spreads. Bring the phone in instead.

My phone is water-resistant. Why did water get in?

Seals wear out with age, heat and drops. Water resistance also drops after any repair. Soap, salt water and pool water get past seals faster.

Can you save my photos?

We try. We can't promise it. If the phone turns on, back it up right away. Ask us and we tell you what we see.

My phone got wet last week. Is it too late?

Bring it in anyway. Water leaves salt and residue that keep eating the board. Cleaning still helps, even days later.
