Cologne's specialist for water damage to smartphones

Who hasn't experienced it: their beloved smartphone ends up in the pool, falls into the toilet, or is left lying on the garden table in the pouring rain and has been forgotten? In short, a catastrophic prospect for many smartphone owners. Often, the only option is to reach for a sack of rice to somehow get the water out of the phone. But if that sack of rice isn't immediately at hand, no one can help you more competently than Cologne's number one mobile repair shop – the HandyRetter water damage specialist!

Even if the phone initially appears dry after dabbing, moisture has most likely penetrated the interior of the smartphone. This can quickly lead to the touchscreen, the heart of every smartphone, no longer responding reliably. To repair water damage as quickly as possible, you should consult a specialist immediately. Only experts can repair water damage without leaving residue.


98% success rate for water damage repairs

When repairing your smartphone after water damage, we set particularly high standards of quality and care. Thanks to special tools and the steady hands of our experts, we can reach the inside of the smartphone. The individual components are thoroughly dried, ensuring that all of the phone's functions remain fully functional after water damage.

Thanks to our professional cleaning techniques, our specialists have been able to repair 98% of all water-damaged smartphones and restore them to full working order. This outstanding success rate also makes the employees at Der HandyRetter among the best cell phone repairers in the city.

Professional motherboard repair

Damage to the internal SMD electronics on your smartphone's motherboard can occur due to wear and tear, dropping, or improper handling. Replacing the entire motherboard is often almost as expensive as the smartphone itself. Therefore, we only repair the components on the motherboard that are no longer functioning. All SMD soldering work on your smartphone is carried out in our mobile phone workshop in accordance with the legally required RoHS guidelines.

Whether Apple or Android devices, thanks to our professional SMD soldering work, we can repair defective components on the motherboard of all smartphone models.


Detect damage to the smartphone's motherboard

Many smartphone owners don't notice damage to the motherboard; how could they, without completely disassembling the phone? But even without special tools and expert knowledge, you can detect the damage. If the device gets hotter than usual, won't start or restore, has network issues, is the battery no longer charging, or is discharging unusually quickly? Then the motherboard is most likely damaged!

Once your broken smartphone arrives at our mobile phone repair shop, we will assess the damage and replace the suspected defective component. Sometimes this simple replacement is no longer sufficient, and the problem is only resolved temporarily. We will then scan the motherboard for errors and repair any broken components. We specialize in this field and have already repaired hundreds of smartphones. Feel free to visit us in person in downtown Cologne or send us your broken smartphone by mail.
