They say its water damage but the phone has not been near water! where can we go in the northern suburbs. pls phone me on 0824493943 Roy

There are little moisture indicator strips located around the inside of the phone. The phone doesn't have to be near liquid water to to become damaged.

Sometimes working as a cell phone tech I would have customers come in with a malfunctioning phone. I would check for water damage and my fear would be confirmed by those little strips but the phone hadn't been near water!

It wasn't until later that I found that the customer had been listening to their tunes while in the shower and the phone was on the sink playing away.

Also going from a cold climate and then into your house during the winter will cause this.

There may be a few places in your area that MIGHT fix your phone but it can depend on which part they're replacing and the carrier.

Be sure to back up your data if you can.
