Indicator from Red back to White

Ever dunk your cellphone in water? After it is dry how could someone tell that it got wet? Well my friend the "i got wet indicator" is a dead give away. This indicator is usually a white sticker located in the battery compartment of most cellphones. It turns red after it is gotten wet.

In my case i had my cellphone in my pocket in my pocket while working out. This is BS in my opinion because water never actually touched my cellphone. Further, I was denied a warranty claim on my (UN used) phone headphones (which had a broken microphone), because of this sticker. How does this sticker have anything to do with the headphones that I NEVER used??

this is a 5 year old post. Does it still work? There are two dots in my phone that are visible after removing the back cover. One is yellow and square. It is underneath a hard plastic window next to the camera. The other is a small red dot closer to the volume button. It has a plastic film like surface protecting it. Clearly they have adapted to the dabbing of bleach trick by concealing the indicators beneath a protective layer. Water would have to penetrate the phone beneath within the mounted casing not just inside the back cover.

However, they are still too sensitive. In my case, my phone is just 3 weeks old and I had wet fingers on a rainy day and pushed the buttons to turn on the display. I pretty sure that when it happened but it hard to tell I have never dropped it in water. So now the phone company benefits by voiding the warranty because of an overly sensitive indicator. Not fair business practice in my opinion

The problem is, I imagine the techs will notice the smell of the bleach.

I know, these indicator stickers are super sensitive. I had a Kodak Z1285 digital camera,that apparently, the indicator sticker changed, because I had the camera in my pocket and just normal body perspiration had gotten it to change. I also had the camera start malfunctioning, still within the warranty period. So, on suggestion from Staples (whom I bought it from), I had them send it out for repairs. It ended up at a repair center here in the same state. within a week, I get a call from the repair center, they refused to repair the camera because it had been exposed to excessive moisture. (note, I had it in my coat pocket.) They sent it back to Staples. Then the real kick to the teeth. I had bought their extended warranty. they voided it, because of the repair center findings. I basicly had a 3 month old, $200+ brick. I HAD ZERO WATER DAMAGE, and the sticker was WHITE,

B U T. I am an idiot and did not pay attention when I took the old phone into the kitchen to clean it (it was not filthy but a little funky) and I used a spray mist to dampen the screen and wiped it off. The battery and back cover wasn on it because I had already put them in/on the new phone and a tiny bit of the mist got on the back/white sticker somehow and it turned red on the edges!

I PANICKED!

I cannot afford to pay for the phone!

LUCKILY I found the stickers on ebay for 1.75, peeled the red edged one off and put on a new white one. I do not feel bad about doing it because the phone truly had no water damage. Those little stickers Pandora Charms Gold 14K are hyper sensitive to moisture.

Unfortunately the stickers that you are attempting to change back are not the only things that will show liquid or moisture damage to the device. The sticker is simple, a clear plastic film on top, a white permeable material next and a red dye on the bottom, once the moisture or liquid has seeped past the plastic and the material it mixes with the dye and the dye is left to dry out in that previously white material. Bleaching it white doesn always do the Pandora Clearance Online trick as a lifting the edge of the sticker would normally show the red dye on the bottom and bleaching it of course removes that indication. Replacing the indicator can work, but usually if the phone has sustained that much moisture then there are surely signs on the inside of the device such as rust on the board and corrosion which are more visible that those red dots.

Many cell phone companies offer replacement options now such as warranty exchanges, however they have wised up and are starting to charge customers back up to the full amount of the device if they feel they have been defrauded, so if you are planning on sending it back or trying to trick someone do so at your own risk, I work in a repair Pandora Clearance Charms center and they have not only strict down on customers but on employees as well, if I don detect a moisture damaged part or phone when someone returns it

i out of my own pocket up to $300 for the mistake.

I think someone is blowing smoke up your rear or trying to scare you. I also in the commonwealth of VA and an employer, and you cannot fire someone for making a mistake. Make the same mistake after being warned and having written verification for that warning and then yes they can let you go, but they still cannot deduct the damages from your paycheck. Tape over the dot. Make sure the tape is completely stuck down (no bubble tunnels in tape).

I have dropped 3 razors and a pantech in toilets and pools (razor kept slipping out of my back pants pocket in the Pandora Clearance Online ladies room.).

The second secret grap out of the water FAST and just as quickly open the phone and dump the battery out. EVEN IF THE PHONE IS STILL ON.

Take the Sim (and storage card out if you have one) and dry with lint free cloth.

open all the ports on phone, then shake it as hard as you can to force water out as much as possible. Then put opened phone in front of a hair dryer, on low heat for at least a day.

You may get condensation on the screen. If you do, continue the hairdrying until it all burns out.

Do not put battery back in and turn on until you are absolutely sure it is dry.

In addition to my accidental drops, I actually my Pantech on purpose. I had spilled a full glass of soda on the phone and could see that liquid got inside the screen in between keypad. So again, removed the battery, sim/storage cards, put an extra layer of tape over the white dot and soaked the phone for a good 10 minutes in warm water. Shook it around to loosen the sticky liquid. Then followed the steps listed above.
