Although you may think that all of the above may help in reducing the amount of liquid inside the Samsung Galaxy Y Pro nothing can turn back time and stop the liquid from entering the phone in the first place. What you have to remember is that many phones have the battery built in and as such always has power running through the logic board. This is the main issue with the Samsung Galaxy Y Pro and why it will nearly always become faulty after it has come into to contact with liquid whether immediately or over a duration of time.

Have you ever seen what a battery look alike when it starts to corrode? It gets little speckles of corrosion over the terminals, the same thing happens inside your Samsung Galaxy Y Pro after a period of time pass and once electronics become like this they start to deteriorate and eventually stop working or cause other parts that they are related to stop working like your screen or dock connector.

We have developed our liquid damage cleaning service for the Samsung Galaxy Y Pro based on years of experience in the electronics repairs industry. The first thing we do is disconnect the battery and remove your Samsung Galaxy Y Pro logic board and place it in a special cleaning solution to remove any residue or corrosion left on the board by the liquid ingress. Then we inspect the board for any damaged or blown components on the surface level of the logic board. Once we have replaced any damaged components and the board has been fully cleaned we are ready to assemble the handset partially in order to test the other parts that all connect to the Samsung Galaxy Y Pro logic board. It's at this point that we can tell if your Samsung Galaxy Y Pro just needed a clean up to revive it from the liquid damage or if it requires further parts replaced. The most common parts that get damaged easily by liquid are the Samsung Galaxy Y Pro LCD and glass touch screen assembly, the charging connector at the bottom of the Samsung Galaxy Y Pro, speakers and microphones. Sometimes further reflows of the ICs and chips on the logic board are required if the Samsung Galaxy Y Pro has had severe liquid damage or has been in contact with liquid for a long duration. We usually like to perform a software restore or upgrade also to ensure the handsets parameters are all reset and this also lets us run diagnostics on the Samsung Galaxy Y Pro as a final test measure. Once all of these steps have been performed we will manually test the handset for all major functions and once it passes we are happy to return your repaired Samsung Galaxy Y Pro back to you in a working state.
