Spilling liquid on an iPhone^® device or MacBook® laptop is one of people’s biggest fears, and with so many different rumors on how to handle the situation, it can be difficult to know how to react and what to do. By properly addressing liquid damage to an iPhone®, you’ll minimize the damage and increase your chances of getting the device up and running again with the help of iPhone^® repair professionals. Here are a few do’s and do-nots to follow when dealing with potential liquid damage.

Do:

Remove liquid immediately.

If a spill occurs, immediately remove all liquid. Carefully wipe every surface of your iPhone® device or MacBook® laptop until it’s completely dry, especially focusing on ports and buttons where liquid might seep in. You’ll also want to shake it out so that any liquid that has entered will come out.

Take it to an iPhone® device or MacBook® laptop repair professional.

An iPhone^® repair or MacBook® repair professional is the only guaranteed authority you should trust following potential liquid damage. Most technicians will have extensive experience working with Apple^® devices and know how to properly diagnose the situation and address any liquid damage or repairs that need to be made.

Do-not:

Keep it on.

Liquids and electronics don’t mix, so immediately turn your iPhone® device off following a spill. You’ll also want to avoid plugging it in. This will ensure any liquid inside doesn’t cause problems with the electronics and ruin the device.

Take it apart.

No matter how many tutorials you watch or how confident you feel, never take the device apart yourself or let someone other than an iPhone® repair professional remove parts. You might only make the situation worse, and if you aren’t familiar with the device’s complex insides, you’ll likely damage crucial pieces.
