How does the iPhone 7 Plus water damage rescue work?
- Immediately: switch the device off, don't plug it in
Voltage + moisture = short circuit. Hold the power button long. Never plug it in to test – this often destroys the mainboard of your iPhone 7 Plus.
- Pickup service Vienna or express shipping
A courier picks up the iPhone 7 Plus 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 7 Plus 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 of corrosion using ultrasonic waves. Isopropanol 99 % removes mineral residue from the circuit traces.
- Replace faulty components
Charging port, speaker, display, battery – certified spare parts. Price depends on the extent of damage. Fixed price in advance.
- 48h rest period + IP67 resealing
Before return, 48h of drying in the climate-controlled lab + a full function test. IP67 seal completely renewed.
Rescue iPhone 7 Plus water damage – act fast, treat it right
The iPhone 7 Plus is IP67 certified – in theory up to 6 m of fresh water. In practice: seals age after 2+ years. After contact with water, corrosion starts immediately: the circuit traces on the mainboard oxidize, contacts deteriorate, the power 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 quote flat: 49 € diagnostic check, then depending on the damage – pure cleaning 99 €, with display replacement from 249 €, mainboard reballing from 349 €.

The first 6 hours decide – what you can do right away
Switch off, don't plug 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 sugary water (cola, beer, juice) the 6-hour window is even shorter. All iPhone 7 Plus options: iPhone 7 Plus overview.

What should I do IMMEDIATELY when the iPhone 7 Plus has fallen into water?
Three things: (1) Switch off immediately – don't plug it in to test. (2) Don't put it in rice – rice doesn't draw moisture out 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 7 Plus has IP67 – why water damage anyway?
IP67 only applies ex factory and only for fresh water (1.5-6 m depending on the model, max. 30 minutes). After 2+ years the seals age, the housing adhesive loses elasticity. Salt water, chlorine or soap destroy the seal immediately. IP67 is a protection – not a guarantee.
How long does an iPhone 7 Plus 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 a display/charging port replacement 2-3 days. Express service 24h available for a surcharge.
Are photos, contacts and apps rescued in an iPhone 7 Plus water damage case?
If the mainboard isn't completely destroyed: yes, the 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 complex (200-600 €), we discuss that separately.
Can I drop off my iPhone 7 Plus directly at Reparo?
Reparo has no customer access. Online booking, courier in all 23 Vienna districts. From the provinces insured shipping, return in the price.
How does the pickup service in Vienna work for the iPhone 7 Plus water damage rescue?
Online booking, time slot 9 am-6 pm, courier to your Vienna address. After the diagnosis a fixed price, then the repair. Courier included in the price.
Is shipping from the provinces safe for an iPhone 7 Plus?
Yes. After the online booking, shipping instructions follow. Insured both ways. Regularly customers from Graz, Linz, St. Pölten, Klagenfurt, Innsbruck and Bregenz.
Does Reparo give a warranty on an iPhone 7 Plus 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 that openly.
Do I lose the Apple warranty through the iPhone 7 Plus water damage repair?
The Apple warranty explicitly excludes liquid damage – even on IP67-certified models. A Reparo water damage repair gets 3 months function warranty on replaced components.
Is the iPhone 7 Plus water damage repair worth it in 2026?
With total damage (display+mainboard+charging port) we're at 400+€. Comparison: a used iPhone 7 Plus from about 227 € with a fresh battery – it's worth doing the math. Often a repair is still cheaper because of the data migration + lost Apple Pay cards.
Was the iPhone 7 Plus 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 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 housing interior. In that time corrosion keeps working. Better: switch off the device, straight to us – vacuum drying + ultrasonic cleaning.
