We provide specialist liquid damage recovery for the following legacy iPhone models:

• iPhone 3G (8GB, 16GB)
• iPhone 3GS (8GB, 16GB, 32GB)

For newer models, please browse our full iPhone repair menu.

Our senior engineering team has been handling liquid damage since the very first iPhone was released. We understand the internal architecture of the 3G/3GS models intimately. Unlike shops that simply "dry out" a phone, our team uses professional chemical baths and micro-tools to physically remove corrosion from the logic board. We take pride in our high success rate for legacy device recovery.

We follow a strict protocol for liquid-damaged devices:

1. Full Disassembly: Every shield and cable is removed to expose hidden moisture.
2. Chemical Cleaning: We use high-grade isopropyl alcohol to neutralise corrosion.
3. Dehumidification: Controlled drying of the logic board.
4. Component Testing: Checking sensors, audio, and power rails.
5. Viability Assessment: If the phone is unrepairable, we only charge a £15 cleaning fee.
6. Warranty: Repaired devices include a 1-year return-to-base warranty on the cleaning service.

Note: This service covers cleaning only. If a new screen or battery is required, these are charged separately after consultation.

• Power Issues: iPhone isn't switching on at all.
• Display Problems: Screen turns on but displays a blank or distorted image.
• System Stability: Freezes or crashes frequently during use.
• Performance: Speed has significantly decreased following liquid contact.
• Corrosion: Discoloured or visible rust inside ports.

Should I put my phone in rice? No! Rice can introduce dust and doesn't remove internal moisture. Professional cleaning is the only way to prevent corrosion.

What if my phone isn't fixable? If the liquid damage has permanently shorted the logic board, we only charge £15 for the engineering time spent cleaning it.

Does this include a new battery? No, batteries are separate. Liquid often destroys 3G/3GS batteries, and we will advise you if a replacement is needed during testing.

Can an iPhone 3GS be fixed after water damage? Yes, if treated quickly. The sooner the corrosion is removed, the higher the success rate for recovery.

How long does a water damage repair take? We typically need 3-5 working days to allow for deep chemical cleaning and long-term stability testing.

Why is my iPhone making strange noises after getting wet? This is often due to shorts in the speaker or amplifier circuits caused by residue on the motherboard.
