Why Water Damage Is So Risky
Liquid damage can affect electronics immediately, and corrosion can continue to worsen over time. Even if a device “seems fine,” powering it on can create shorts and destroy components that contain your data.
Recovery success depends on the type of device, how much liquid exposure occurred, and whether it was powered on after the incident.
What NOT To Do
Do not power it on to “check”
This is the most common mistake and can instantly reduce recovery chances.
Do not use rice
Rice does not remove internal moisture and can add dust or debris.
Do not heat it with a hair dryer
Heat can warp components and accelerate damage.
