Accident is in a small corner

An accident is in a small corner. You really are not the first to drop an iPhone into the toilet or swimming pool or throw coffee over it. Fortunately, this does not immediately mean the end of your device. This is best done with iPhone water damage.


An accident is in a small corner. You knock over a glass, you drop your iPhone in the toilet or forget to take it out of your swimsuit. Moisture is not something your iPhone is very fond of, but luckily this does not always mean the end.
Electronics and moisture is still not a good combination. That certainly applies to the iPhone 6S Plus and previous devices. From 7 onward, the water resistance is again somewhat higher. If your iPhone does come into contact with moisture, the best option is to turn it off. Also, do NOT place the telephone on the charger, this can cause a short circuit.


The disadvantage of water damage is that it cannot be seen from the outside. If the phone is wet on the outside, the inside may still be dry and vice versa. It may also be that nothing seems to be wrong while corrosion is occurring on the inside. This means that the iPhone may stop working after a while. Fortunately there are a number of options to prevent / limit water damage.
First of all you test your iPhone for water damage. All iPhone's have so-called moisture indicators. These stickers turn red when they come into contact with moisture. The best visible indicator can be found at the SIM card opening. To view this, remove the SIM card holder from the iPhone. If it is still not visible, check the Apple website to view the exact location for each model.

To limit water damage, you can start by removing accessories such as covers, earplugs and the like. A screen protector has no influence on the drying of the iPhone, so it can simply remain in place. After this it is important not to place the phone in the sun, on the heating or under the hair dryer. This will cause condensation to form on other parts of the iPhone and cause damage. It is best to only dry the iPhone with a dry cloth. Also, you can quickly contact online iPhone screen repair service which will provide quick and efficient repairing at home.

Do not put the iPhone in a container of rice. Rice only absorbs superficial moisture, creating the illusion that the phone no longer contains any moisture or condensation. It is also true that rice is accelerating the corrosion process, which is certainly not the intention. It is advisable to also view the inside of the phone after drying. This is something you could do yourself, if you dare not, you can also have the phone professionally examined by us.

It is also possible to take the phone back to Apple. Liquid damage is not covered by Apple's limited one-year warranty or the consumer's two-year warranty. However, if you have AppleCare +, it is possible to have the phone repaired / replaced by apple service center in bangalore without losing too much money. Usually you only pay the deductible (price depends on the iPhone model).

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
