How does the iPhone 17 Pro water damage rescue work?
- Immediately: switch the device off, do not plug it in
Voltage + moisture = short circuit. Hold the power button long. Never plug it in to test – this often destroys your iPhone 17 Pro mainboard.
- Pickup service Vienna or express shipping
A courier picks up the iPhone 17 Pro in all 23 districts within hours. From the provinces express 24h. The longer water sits inside the device, the more corrosion.
- Microscope diagnosis in the cleanroom
We open the iPhone 17 Pro under a microscope, document traces of corrosion, test mainboard voltages. You get photos + fixed price – only then do you decide (EUR 49 diagnosis).
- Ultrasonic cleaning + isopropanol 99
The affected board is placed in a special cleaner and freed from corrosion with ultrasonic waves. Isopropanol 99 % removes mineral residue from the traces.
- Replace defective components
Charging port, speaker, display, battery – certified replacement parts. Price depends on the extent of the damage. Fixed price in advance.
- 48h rest phase + IP68 resealing
Before return, 48h drying in the climate-controlled lab + full function test. IP68 seal completely renewed.
Save your iPhone 17 Pro from water damage – act fast, treat it right
The iPhone 17 Pro is IP68-certified – in theory up to 6 m of fresh water. In practice: seals age after 2+ years. After water contact, corrosion begins immediately: the traces on the mainboard oxidise, contacts deteriorate, the voltage regulation fails. The longer the water stays inside, the more expensive the repair – and the lower the recovery rate.
Reparo works in Vienna with ultrasonic cleaning and microscope board diagnosis. The price is hard to state as a flat rate: EUR 49 diagnosis, then depending on the damage – pure cleaning EUR 99, with display replacement from EUR 249, mainboard reballing from EUR 349. After diagnosis you get a fixed price, no surprises. If there is also a display problem: see iPhone 17 Pro screen replacement.
The first 6 hours decide – what you can do right away
Switch it off, do not plug it in, do not put it in rice. Then contact Reparo directly – pickup service Vienna often under 2 hours, from the provinces express 24h. With salt, chlorine or sugary water (cola, beer, juice), the 6-hour window is even shorter. All iPhone 17 Pro options: iPhone 17 Pro overview.

What should I do IMMEDIATELY when the iPhone 17 Pro has fallen into water?
Three things: (1) Switch off immediately – do not plug in to test. (2) Do not put it in rice – rice does not draw out moisture fast enough. (3) Have it picked up by Reparo immediately or send it in within 24h. Every hour counts – corrosion eats the traces.
My iPhone 17 Pro has IP68 – why water damage anyway?
IP68 only applies factory-fresh and only for fresh water (1.5-6 m depending on model, max. 30 minutes). After 2+ years the seals age, the housing bond loses elasticity. Salt water, chlorine or soap destroy the seal instantly. IP68 is a protection – not a guarantee.
How long does an iPhone 17 Pro water damage repair take?
The diagnosis takes 24h (the device must dry + be cleaned). After that, depending on the damage, 1-3 working days: pure cleaning the next day, with display/charging port replacement 2-3 days. Express service 24h possible for a surcharge.
Are photos, contacts and apps saved on iPhone 17 Pro water damage?
If the mainboard is not totally destroyed: yes, data usually stays intact. The flash storage is separate from the power supply. We try to pull a backup before the repair. With irreversible mainboard damage: data recovery is involved (EUR 200-600), which we discuss separately.
Can I bring my iPhone 17 Pro directly to Reparo?
Reparo has no customer drop-in. Online booking, courier in all 23 Vienna districts. From the provinces insured shipping, return included in the price.
How does the pickup service in Vienna work for the iPhone 17 Pro water damage rescue?
Online booking, time slot 9 am-6 pm, courier to your Vienna address. After diagnosis a fixed price, then the repair. Courier included in the price.
Is shipping from the provinces safe for an iPhone 17 Pro?
Yes. After online booking you get shipping instructions. Insured both ways. Regular customers from Graz, Linz, St. Pölten, Klagenfurt, Innsbruck and Bregenz.
Does Reparo give a warranty on an iPhone 17 Pro water damage repair?
3 months on replaced individual parts (charging port, display etc.). No warranty on the cleaning itself – long-term corrosion consequences can appear months later despite perfect work. We say this openly.
Do I lose the Apple warranty through the iPhone 17 Pro water damage repair?
The Apple warranty explicitly excludes liquid damage – even on IP68-certified models. The Reparo water damage repair gets a 3-month function warranty on replaced components.
Is the iPhone 17 Pro water damage repair worth it in 2026?
With total damage (display+mainboard+charging port) we are at 400+ EUR. Comparison: a used iPhone 17 Pro from around EUR 774 with a fresh battery – doing the math pays off. Repair is often still cheaper due to data transfer + lost Apple Pay cards.
Was the iPhone 17 Pro in salt water, the sea or chlorinated water – does that make a difference?
Yes, massively. Salt water is more electrically conductive and corrosive than tap water. Chlorinated water damages seals. With salt/chlorine: contact us immediately, even if the device is off. The first 6 hours decide whether it can be saved.
Should I try rice before coming to Reparo?
No. Rice absorbs moisture very slowly (days) and does not pull water out of the housing interior. In that time corrosion keeps working. Better: switch the device off, straight to us – vacuum drying + ultrasonic cleaning.
