Phone dropped in water
Switch it off, do not charge it, do not use rice. Ultrasonic cleaning within the first day is the single biggest factor in whether the board survives.

Why Gokak customers choose iFixPro
- Emergency water-damage service: bring the device in switched off and we start cleaning the same day
- Ultrasonic cleaning and corrosion treatment before any parts are replaced
- Honest verdict — if the board is beyond economic repair we say so and charge nothing extra
- Data recovery attempted first wherever the storage chip is intact
Our only workshop is in Belagavi at Khade Bazar, about 1.5 hours by road from Gokak. Everything is repaired in-house by our own technicians — nothing is sent out to a third party.
Liquid damage is a race against chemistry, and Gokak sends us more of it than anywhere else on this list. Between monsoon downpours and the spray around the Falls, phones here get wet in ways their seals were never rated for. What kills a board afterwards is not the water itself but the corrosion that keeps working long after the device looks dry.
This is why the advice matters more than the marketing. Switch it off immediately. Do not press the power button to check. Do not plug it in. Do not bury it in rice, which does nothing for water already sitting between components. Get it to a bench with an ultrasonic cleaner as fast as you can.
When it reaches us we strip the device, clean the board properly, treat the corrosion and then test rail by rail to see what actually failed. If the board is beyond economic repair we say so and charge nothing extra for having looked — and where photos and data matter more than the handset, we attempt recovery first.

Common repair problems we see from Gokak
Corrosion spreading after 'drying out'
A phone that worked for a week after a soaking then died is corroding internally. Cleaning at that stage still helps, but expect connector and IC replacements.
Screen showing pink or cloudy patches
Moisture between the panel layers. The display itself has to be replaced; cleaning cannot reverse it.
Charging stopped after rain exposure
Corroded port pins and pads. We clean, re-tin and replace the flex, then test charge current before handover.
Photos trapped on a dead phone
Where the storage chip is intact we attempt recovery before any invasive board work, and we tell you the odds honestly first.

Gokak repair FAQs
My phone fell in water near Gokak Falls. What should I do?+
Switch it off immediately, do not charge it and do not put it in rice. Bring it to us as soon as you can — early ultrasonic cleaning is what saves the board.
How long does water-damage repair take?+
Cleaning and diagnosis is usually same day; if connectors or ICs need replacing it can take 1-3 days.
Can you recover my photos if the phone will not turn on?+
In many cases yes, as long as the storage chip is undamaged. We attempt recovery before any invasive board work.
How far is Belagavi from Gokak?+
About 60 km, roughly an hour and a half by road to our Khade Bazar workshop.
Does putting a wet phone in rice help?+
No. Rice absorbs surface moisture at best and does nothing about water already inside the board. It mainly wastes the hours that matter most.
How soon should I bring a water-damaged phone in?+
The same day if at all possible. Every hour of delay lets corrosion spread across more of the board and raises the cost.
What if the board cannot be repaired?+
We tell you plainly, charge nothing extra for the diagnosis, and where possible attempt to recover your photos and data before you decide what to do next.
