> Phone got wet? Apfel Park inspects water damage in Hamburg-Wilhelmsburg, documents the findings and discusses realistic options.

After contact with water, drinks or heavy moisture, careful handling matters. Switch the device off, disconnect the charger and do not repeatedly power it on to test it. Rice or strong heat cannot remove conductive residue from the board and may create further damage. We open and inspect the device properly before recommending repair work.

### Common warning signs

- The device will not start, keeps restarting or becomes unusually warm
- Display, camera, speakers or microphone work intermittently
- Charging fails or the port only detects a cable sometimes
- Fogging in camera lenses or visible moisture inside the device

### What the diagnosis covers

- Visual inspection of ports, seals and liquid-contact indicators
- Checks for corrosion and residue on accessible components
- Functional testing of affected assemblies where it is safe to do so
- Assessment of cleaning, part replacement or data-recovery advice

### What to do now

- Switch the device off and do not charge it again.
- Remove the SIM and gently dry visible liquid from the exterior.
- Bring it in promptly and tell us the liquid type and when exposure happened.
- You receive the findings and cost options before further work.

### No unrealistic recovery promises

The outcome depends on the liquid, exposure time, corrosion and any attempts to power the phone on. Recovery can therefore never be guaranteed in advance. We explain the findings and whether a repair appears economically sensible.
