How does the iPhone X water damage rescue work?
- Immediately: turn off the device, don't plug it in
Voltage + moisture = short circuit. Hold the power button long. Never plug it in to test – that often destroys the mainboard of your iPhone X.
- Pickup service Vienna or express shipping
A courier picks up the iPhone X in all 23 districts within hours. From the provinces express 24h. The longer water stays in the device, the more corrosion.
- Microscope diagnosis in the clean room
We open the iPhone X under the microscope, document corrosion traces, test mainboard voltages. You get photos + a fixed price – only then do you decide (49 € diagnostic check).
- Ultrasonic cleaning + isopropanol 99
The affected board is placed in special cleaner and freed from corrosion with ultrasonic waves. Isopropanol 99 % removes mineral residue from the circuit traces.
- Replace faulty components
Charging port, speaker, display, battery – certified spare parts. Price depending on the extent of damage. Fixed price in advance.
- 48h resting phase + IP67 resealing
Before return, 48h of drying in the climate-controlled lab + full function test. IP67 seal completely renewed.
Rescuing iPhone X water damage – act fast, treat it right
The iPhone X is IP67 certified – in theory up to 6 m of fresh water. In practice: seals age after 2+ years. After water contact, corrosion begins immediately: circuit traces on the mainboard oxidize, contacts go bad, voltage regulation fails. The longer the water stays inside, the more expensive the repair – and the lower the rescue rate.
Reparo works in Vienna with ultrasonic cleaning and microscope board diagnosis. The price is hard to state as a flat rate: 49 € diagnostic check, then depending on the damage – pure cleaning 99 €, with display replacement from 249 €, mainboard reballing from 349 €. After diagnosis you get a fixed price, no surprises. In case of a simultaneous display problem: see iPhone X screen replacement.
The first 6 hours decide – what you can do immediately
Turn it off, don't plug it in, don't put it in rice. Then contact Reparo directly – pickup service Vienna often under 2 hours, from the provinces express 24h. With salt, chlorine or sugar water (cola, beer, juice) the 6-hour window is even shorter. All iPhone X options: iPhone X overview.

What should I do IMMEDIATELY when the iPhone X has fallen into water?
Three things: (1) Turn it off immediately – don't plug it in to test. (2) Don't put it in rice – rice doesn't draw out moisture fast enough. (3) Have Reparo pick it up immediately or send it in within 24h. Every hour counts – corrosion eats the circuit traces.
My iPhone X has IP67 – why water damage anyway?
IP67 applies only ex-factory and only to fresh water (1.5-6 m depending on model, max. 30 minutes). After 2+ years the seals age, the housing adhesive loses elasticity. Saltwater, chlorine or soap destroy the seal instantly. IP67 is a protection – not a guarantee.
How long does an iPhone X water damage repair take?
The diagnosis takes 24h (the device has to 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 available for a surcharge.
Are photos, contacts and apps saved with iPhone X water damage?
If the mainboard isn't totally destroyed: yes, the data usually stays intact. Flash storage is separate from the power supply. We try to pull a backup before the repair. With irreversible mainboard damage: data recovery is laborious (200-600 €), we discuss that separately.
Can I bring my iPhone X directly to Reparo?
Reparo has no customer access. 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 X water damage rescue?
Online booking, time window 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 X?
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 X water damage repair?
3 months on replaced individual parts (charging port, display etc.). On the cleaning itself no warranty – long-term corrosion consequences can appear months later despite perfect work. We say that openly.
Do I lose the Apple warranty through the iPhone X water damage repair?
The Apple warranty explicitly excludes liquid damage – even on IP67-certified models. A Reparo water damage repair gets a 3-month function warranty on replaced components.
Is the iPhone X water damage repair worth it in 2026?
With total damage (display+mainboard+charging port) we're at 400+€. Comparison: a used iPhone X from about 287 € with a fresh battery – it pays to do the math. Often a repair is still cheaper because of the data transfer + lost Apple Pay cards.
Was the iPhone X in saltwater, the sea or chlorinated water – does that make a difference?
Yes, massively. Saltwater 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 rescued.
Should I try the rice trick before coming to Reparo?
No. Rice absorbs moisture very slowly (days) and doesn't pull water out of the interior of the housing. In that time corrosion keeps working. Better: turn the device off, come straight to us – vacuum drying + ultrasonic cleaning.
