Mub6 0 Report post Posted May 16, 2012 Hey guys, is it normal for the phone to not turn on at all after water damage? My friend has buggered his S2 but he's a bit concerned. I've advised him the usual - isopropyl, dismantle, rice, air etc Cheers, Mubs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mub6 0 Report post Posted May 16, 2012 Thanks Paul, what are we talking in terms of serious damage? short circuit? motherboard deposits? what is the likelihood of repair after washing the phone in isopropyl alcohol and drying. Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There are repair places though, the operators (ab)use them when your out of warranty. They might give you a quote, but I'd expect £40+ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
