Our mobile phone faces all kinds of inconveniences every day, such as excessive heat, drops, shocks, water and also humidity. The latter can go unnoticed on many occasions, but the truth is that it hides many dangers for the device, which can become unusable in very extreme cases.
It is very common today to find certifications that promise resistance to water, but you should know that these have a limit and violating it could be lethal. If by any chance your smartphone has even fallen into the water, it is possible that it is affected by moisture and in this sense it is necessary to act quickly to reduce possible damage.
The danger of humidity
There are numerous problems that it can cause in the terminal and we will now talk about some of them so that you can get an idea of what you are exposed to. However, before proceeding with each one, it is important to point out that you should avoid turning on the mobile and putting it on charge , as well as putting it directly in the sun, since this will not dry it. This is what can happen to your phone if it is affected by moisture.
Unable to charge smartphone
One of the most common problems that many devices have faced is not being able to charge the terminal. This means that once the power runs out, it will be impossible for you to turn it on again until you solve the situation. This is due to water getting into the USB port .
To eliminate it, we recommend placing the smartphone vertically so that any drop that may be inside begins to fall slowly. Other alternatives are to use a compressed air spray (very carefully) or take advantage of wireless charging if it allows it.
Dead battery
Partly related to the above issue is the possibility of the battery going dead completely. This is one of the most widespread inconveniences caused by humidity according to a study carried out by The Phone House. The report indicates that more than 70% of devices that are sent for repair unfortunately do not have moisture as the source of the problem.
This has a very logical explanation and it is that humidity generates corrosion in batteries and their components . This means that the most feasible solution at this point is to change the battery.
Chamber with humidity inside
Another problem that users have run into on occasion is that the camera looks blurry for some reason and sometimes it has to do with moisture getting into the lens . This may be the result of poor manufacturing or sealing that has allowed water to pass through.
If you are a victim of this problem, we recommend you go directly to technical support , since if you have a guarantee, it will cover it. In the event that you are an expert in the field, you can venture out and try to solve it yourself by disassembling the phone, although you must be very careful with what you touch.
