The Hidden Dangers of Water Damage on Phones
📍The Hidden Dangers of Water Damage on Phones
Did your phone take a quick dip in the sink, tub, pool or worse, the toilet? You may think a quick dry with a towel or the famous "rice trick" will solve the issue… but the reality is far more dangerous.
Water damage is often a silent killer! Working behind the scenes to corrode vital components even if your device looks perfectly fine. That’s why immediate action is crucial to save your phone and prevent permanent loss of data, functionality, or even the entire device.
⏱️ Internal Corrosion Starts in Minutes
Once liquid enters your phone’s casing, the clock starts ticking.
Within 5 minutes, the water begins to corrode micro-connections on your motherboard.
Within an hour, your battery may short-circuit.
Within 24 hours, screen discoloration, glitches, and unresponsive buttons often appear.
Even if your phone still turns on, latent water damage can cause slow failures days or weeks later.
At One Stop Power Shop, we’ve seen countless phones that seemed fine… until they suddenly wouldn’t charge, boot, or hold a signal.
❌ Why the Rice Trick is a Total Myth
We've all heard it:
“Drop your phone in rice. It’ll soak up the water!”
But here's what really happens:
Rice doesn't absorb internal moisture trapped deep in the motherboard.
It can leave dust, starch particles, and debris inside your ports and speaker grills.
It delays professional treatment, giving corrosion more time to spread.
Instead of helping, the rice trick could cost you your device.
