2road Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 Hi, during songkran party my Samsung got wet and is now not turning on, even after 3 days "in the rice bag" as many suggested me. I was at Festival Tuesday and I didn't zip properly the plastic container and suddenly my phone started vibrating. I stop, took battery out but mistakenly I used a hair dryer. I asked Tukom service shops and they quoted me 2.000 baht to repair it. I wonder if someone know a place where maybe I can get a cheaper phone repair service. thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

surangw Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 might be too late if the water had any conductive material ( salts, minerals) in it and the phone was powered up last ditch effort would be to keep it off ( of if removable battery, take it out) rinse in disrtilled water several times and let it dry for several days or if you can pull the case off, even better to rinse any mineral deposits out.

Lucifer Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 This is the busiest time for phone repairs in Thailand, so the prices are high. Wait a few months and I'm sure you'll get it repaired for 1800 baht. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

schietkop Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 (edited) Dont believe stories about rice. It doesnt help at all. The idea is it dried the phone quicker, put it outside in the hot Thai sun is MUCH faster, or use a hair blower at lower heat. The residu of minerals left after the water dries will kill the phone in the long run. Here a blog post with some good info what to do when your phone is liquid damaged: http://www.drsmartphone.net/en/your-phone-got-water-damaged-what-now/ Edited April 29, 2016 by schietkop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
