At Good Zone Service and Repairs, we've had years of experience dealing with water-damaged phones. How much of the phone can be saved depends on where the liquid went and how long it stayed inside, so we tell you after diagnostics.
Reach us at Good Zone Service and Repairs via any of these means. You can walk in 7 days a week, 10 AM to 7 PM, near the Kings Hwy B/Q station, or send the phone through our mail-in repair service.
Regardless of where your iPhone fell into, a bath, dishwasher, a cup of coffee, you name it, liquid damage can be a serious issue. This is especially if it's not addressed quickly and properly.
In the event of such a problem, it's important to not charge your phone. Charging your device can cause circuit damage in your phone, and cause further problems. Also, avoid tapping the screen so you don't spread the reach of the liquid in your phone.
Switch the phone off and bring it to us at Good Zone as soon as you can. Do not put it in rice and do not dry it with heat.
Your phone having an unfortunate encounter with water doesn't mean it has to be the end for the entire phone. Our technicians have more than 15 years of repair experience.
During diagnostics we open the phone, look for liquid and corrosion on the board and connectors, and test the screen, battery, charging, speakers, microphones and cameras. Then we tell you what can be repaired and what it will cost. Common signs after liquid gets in are a phone that will not turn on or charge, a flickering screen, muffled sound and a camera that fogs up. For other faults, see our iPhone XS Max repair page; for other models, see iPhone water damage repair.
Diagnostics cost $99 and count toward the repair if you go ahead. The repair price depends on which parts the liquid damaged, so we quote it after diagnostics. You approve the price before any work starts; nothing is repaired without your yes. Time depends on the fault; we tell you after diagnostics. Water-damage repairs have no warranty. In the store you can pay by cash or card.

To get water out of your phone, the first thing to note is that you shouldn't put your phone inside rice or use an air dryer on your phone. Both of those measures can cause further damage. Switch the phone off, do not charge it, and take it to a repair shop to get it looked at, and repaired.
The iPhone XS Max, like most iPhones, comes with a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) inside the SIM tray slot. It only activates when it has come in contact with a liquid. In such cases, it changes color from its usual white/silver to red. We check it during diagnostics, together with the board itself.
Often, yes, but it depends on how much corrosion there is, and we can only tell after diagnostics. We explain the diagnostic fee before the assessment: diagnostics cost $99 and count toward the repair if you go ahead.
