Reviving Your Liquid Damaged Smartphone with Gophermods

At Gophermods, we understand how essential your smartphone is to your daily routines. That’s why we offer an exceptional Liquid Damage Repair Service dedicated to bringing your device back to life. However, before you decide, there are a few crucial details about our service we’d like you to know.

Unraveling Our Service Charge

Our repair service comes with a non-refundable fee of $69. This charge applies no matter the extent of the damage and is kept even if we are unsuccessful in the repair attempt. Understand that this fee isn’t just a charge, it’s a commitment from our side, covering a detailed initial assessment and a thorough cleaning procedure aiming to breathe new life into your phone.

Eligibility & Procedure

Currently, our Liquid Damage Service is exclusive to smartphones. By focusing on smartphones, we can leverage specialized equipment, provide dedicated training to our technicians, and ensure top-notch service for your device.

Our process begins with detailed discovery questions to understand your device’s history, previous repairs, and potential liquid damage. This information helps us make an informed decision on the next steps and set accurate expectations for you.

During check-in, we’ll make sure you’re aware of the $69 non-refundable liquid damage fee. Our trained technicians then carry out an in-depth inspection of your phone, looking for signs of liquid damage like corrosion, residue, or malfunctioning parts. We evaluate the repair cost against your device’s value to make an economically sensible decision.

Qualified Technicians at Your Service

Our team of repair technicians is backed by extensive training, industry-leading certifications, and years of experience. They participate in regular continued education programs to stay updated with the latest industry trends. Each repair performed by our team goes through a stringent quality control process, ensuring we meet the highest standards of service consistently. With Gophermods, your device is always in trusted hands.

Liquid Damage Repair Scenarios

We believe transparency is the key to trust. Therefore, we’re sharing a few real-world repair scenarios:

• Unsuccessful Repair: If a device remains non-functional even after our ultrasonic cleanings, we retain the $69 service fee charged at check-in.
• Partial Success: If a device is partially restored but some components may not be fully operational, the service fee remains unchanged.
• Successful Repair with Subsequent Failure: If a device fails within two weeks of a successful restoration, it’s checked-in under our thirty-day liquid damage warranty. If it can’t be restored, the original service fee is retained.
• Successful Repair with Additional Part Replacement: If a device is successfully restored but requires a new battery and you approve the replacement, we retain the service fee and charge the labor and part cost for the battery.

Note that we currently do not offer liquid damage service for non-smartphone devices due to the complexities involved.

Success Rates & Influencing Factors

The success rates for our service can vary based on several factors such as the type of liquid, duration of exposure, and the time elapsed since the exposure. Here’s a quick guide:

• Samsung: Less than 50% success, as they are less responsive to cleaning.
• Apple: Around 50% success rate, iPhones often require a new screen post-exposure.
• Non-Apple or Samsung: Less than 50% success rate due to their design and trapped water.

Warranty Information

We provide a 90-day warranty that covers the services performed. However, further liquid damage may void the warranty and could attract additional charges.

In Case of Extensive Damage

In scenarios where the device’s corrosion is too extensive, we recommend buying a new device rather than repairing the current one. We assure you of devices that are equal or greater in value and performance.
