Expert Advice & Tips
Common causes of this issue:
- Accidental liquid exposure during commutes or meals
- Humidity buildup in enclosed pockets of the device
- Faulty seals around the charging port and SIM tray
- Battery swelling from prolonged moisture exposure
- Submersion in water during drops or spills
Prevention tips:
- Use a certified splash-proof case and carry a small desiccant in bags
- Dry hands before handling your device and avoid using it near water
- Regularly inspect charging port seals and replace damaged ones
- Keep software updated to monitor moisture indicators
- Store devices in a dry, ventilated place when not in use
When to repair vs replace:
Short intro: If water damage affects core functions, repair is usually viable; if motherboard has extensive corrosion, replacement may be considered.
- Viable repair if charging, speakers, and screen respond after diagnostics
- Consider replacement if battery swelling is severe or board traces are burnt
- Cost-effective choice typically repair first, replace only if multiple components fail
- If device is outdated or out of warranty, weigh total cost of parts + labour
What to look for in a quality repair service:
- Clear diagnostic report and transparent pricing
- OEM-grade parts with proper testing under load
- Clearly stated warranty longer than Apple’s 90 days
- Fast turnaround, ideally same-day service in Huddersfield
- Local presence with genuine parts and trained technicians
Red flags to avoid:
- Vague quotes or hidden fees
- No written warranty or vague terms
- Low-quality or counterfeit parts
- Long waiting times without updates
- Lack of mobile repair options or local availability
Maintenance guidance after repair:
- Keep the device dry and test all ports weekly
- Use updated apps and monitor battery health in settings
- Avoid charging with cheap third-party cables
- Schedule a post-repair check if you notice new moisture indicators

Q:
Will features work after? (Face ID, etc.)

Warranty
Q:

If issues arise, we assess promptly and repair or replace affected components under warranty. Our aim is to make it right with minimal inconvenience to you, maintaining your device’s performance and longevity.
Q:
Affect manufacturer warranty?
Our repairs do not void your Samsung manufacturer warranty when performed by qualified iRepair Guys technicians. We follow Samsung-compatible procedures and use vetted parts, so your device remains compatible with official warranty terms where applicable.
Technical
Q:
Device-specific technical question
Water damage on the Galaxy A8 Plus can affect the display, battery, charging port, and motherboard traces. Our technicians perform a full moisture diagnostic, clean corrosion, replace damaged components, and re-test all functions including charging, USB-C connectivity, and touchscreen response to ensure long-term reliability.
Q:
What causes this issue?
Liquid exposure allows moisture to travel through the device, causing corrosion on contacts and temporary or permanent failures in the charging circuit, sensor arrays, and display. Even brief exposure can initiate slow degradation, which is why prompt diagnostics and proper drying are essential.
Q:
Repair or replace device?
Typically, a water-damaged Galaxy A8 Plus with repairable components is best repaired to preserve value and reduce waste. If the motherboard is severely corroded or key components fail, replacement might be considered. We provide an honest assessment and recommend the most cost-effective, reliable option.
Q:
Fix multiple issues?
If multiple issues are found (screen, battery, charging port, or water damage to other components), we offer multi-repair discounts and bundle pricing. Our team coordinates parts and labour to minimise downtime and ensure all affected systems work cohesively after repair.
