  • Great vid but...

    most cellular phones have more than one water damage sensor in it. most have one attached to the back or to the side of the LCD screen. that one would require a cellular disection to happen in order to protect that sensor. great idea, but a couple of flaws.

    • There Not Stupid

      Putting this dot on is usless, they will take the phone apart to see why it is not working and then see the corrosion on the PCB inside.
      SILLY IDEA!

    • That other phone there...

      The other phone in the video, it got wet from a humid week, there is no corrosion on the battery leads, and if you look into the vents it looks perfectly bright and clean. I see no corrosion.

      So, had I protected that other one right from the get go, I am 100% sure they couldn't call it water damage.

      Even if your phone breaks because the software screws up, if that dot is red, they WONT TOUCH IT, thats what happened to me. Water rarely kills phones, but it is an easy excuse for your provider to say "F**k off"

    • happened to me

      I got my phone mildly wet and the backlight and camera died, although the phone still functioned.

      I sent it away, like 3 months later it comes back saying water damage. I am good at electronics, so I opened the phone removed the screen portion. No damage what so ever. (I have repaired water damaged boards before) I put the phone back together and the thing works like new. THE ZIF (Zero Insertion Force) Connector was *loose*. The technicians didn't even OPEN the phone and look inside because had they, they would have pulled out that connector.
