KL & Selangor · 16 branchesKL & Selangor · 16 branchesiPhone been in fresh water, salt water, or any drink? Power it off immediately and don't charge it — every extra minute powered on spreads corrosion across the logic board. SPR's Kepong HQ runs a full ultrasonic clean and microscope inspection of every IC and connector pad, with subsystem testing afterward, over a 24-hour protocol.
ON-BENCH REPAIR · 16 BRANCHESIf your iPhone has been near any liquid, power it off now and don't charge it — these are the symptoms that confirm it needs the Kepong HQ protocol.
iPhone water damage isn't always immediate — a phone can turn on fine after fresh water, salt water, or a spilled drink, then fail days or weeks later as corrosion spreads on the logic board. That's why the first rule is: power off and don't charge it, then bring it in as-is. At Kepong HQ we photograph the Liquid Contact Indicator and the exposure pattern, inspect the board under microscope, run a full ultrasonic isopropyl-alcohol bath to remove conductive residue, lift any pad-level corrosion we find, then test charging, audio, Face ID, cameras, Wi-Fi/Bluetooth, and cellular one by one before the phone goes back together.
Workshop-level (Kepong HQ): Every water-damage iPhone goes to our Kepong workshop for 24-hour treatment. Standard protocol: open chassis, photograph corrosion pattern, full ultrasonic isopropyl-alcohol bath of the logic board to remove conductive residue, microscope inspection of every IC and connector pad, targeted lift of any pad-level corrosion, full subsystem test, then re-seal with new gaskets. Recovery odds depend on time-since-exposure and what happened after — fresh-water exposure brought in within hours has the highest recovery rate; salt-water exposure that sat for a day with the phone still powered-on is the hardest. We always tell you the realistic odds during the free diagnosis before charging anything. Not recoverable: when multiple critical ICs (PMIC, baseband, Tristar) have all corroded — sometimes the most cost-effective path is data recovery from the corroded board onto a working donor iPhone.

No — and both can make it worse. Rice doesn't remove water that's already corroding the logic board; it just absorbs surface moisture. A hairdryer can heat-damage flex cables and push contaminated water deeper. The right move is: power off, bring it in powered-off as soon as possible. Every hour matters with salt water especially.
We don't quote a fixed percentage because it depends heavily on liquid type, exposure time, and what happened after. Fresh-water exposure brought in within 1–2 hours has high recovery odds; salt-water exposure that sat overnight with the phone still on is the hardest. Free diagnosis includes our honest assessment before any charge — we tell you the realistic odds before you commit.
Often yes — board-level data recovery is one of our specialties at Kepong HQ. Even when the iPhone itself is unrecoverable for daily use, we can sometimes lift the storage chip onto a donor logic board to extract photos, messages, and contacts. Free assessment first; we tell you what's likely possible before any work starts.

No — SPR is independent. We're not Apple, not an Apple Authorised Service Provider, and we don't claim to be. We've been repairing Apple devices for 17 years across 16 branches in KL and Selangor. If you specifically want Apple-genuine parts and an Apple-issued service record, your only option is Apple's own out-of-warranty service. If you want fast same-day independent repair with a 6-month warranty at independent shop pricing, that's us.
Every water damage at SPR comes with a 6-month warranty on parts and labour, honoured at all 16 branches across KL and Selangor — bring it to any SPR location for warranty work, not just the branch where the repair was done. Water-damage repairs carry a shorter warranty due to the unpredictable progression of corrosion.
OEM-grade parts as standard — manufactured to the same specifications as the originals. Premium-grade options are available on request for most models. We show you both tiers upfront so you can choose what fits. Apple does not sell parts to repair shops, so no independent shop in Malaysia can offer Apple-genuine parts; anyone claiming so is misleading.
Yes. Free diagnosis on walk-in at every branch. If we cannot repair your device, you pay nothing — no diagnostic fee, no consultation charge. Many fixes (lint cleaning, ultrasonic cleaning, software-only) cost nothing if that's all that's needed.
