Water-Damaged Phone Motherboard Repair in Kampala
Drying a wet phone doesn't remove the corrosion that keeps working on the board. We clean the board, find every damaged area under the microscope and replace corroded components, giving the best chance of a lasting repair.
Signs of this fault
- Phone dead after getting wet
- Works but with faults: no sound, no signal, no charging
- Phone heats up
- Faults that come and go
How we diagnose it
- Disconnect the battery and remove the board
- Inspect every area under the microscope
- Clean affected areas
- Measure power lines for shorts
- Test each function and replace damaged parts
What usually causes it
Corrosion
Minerals and sugars in liquid react with metal contacts.
Short circuits
Liquid bridging power lines while the phone was on.
Damaged connectors
Corroded screen, battery and port connectors.
How we repair it
Corroded components, connectors and tracks are replaced or repaired at board level, followed by full function testing.
Limits
The sooner the phone comes in, the better the result. Phones left wet for days, or soaked in salt water or sugary drinks, have lower recovery chances.
No fix, no fee. If we can’t fix it, you don’t pay. Every repair starts with a proper diagnosis. If we can’t repair the fault you booked for, there is no charge for the diagnosis or the repair attempt.
Common questions
How quickly should I bring my phone in?
