Step-by-step

  1. 1

    Stop Using the Device

    5 min

    If your Motorola Moto Edge 60 was exposed to liquid, power it off immediately. Do not charge it or press buttons repeatedly — this can short the logic board.

  2. 2

    Remove External Liquid

    10 min

    Dry the exterior with a lint-free cloth. Remove cases, SIM or SD cards, and any removable parts. Do not use a hair dryer on high heat.

  3. 3

    Open the Device

    25 min

    Disassemble the Motorola Moto Edge 60 to expose internal components. The sooner the interior is accessible, the better the chance of recovery.

  4. 4

    Inspect and Disconnect Power

    15 min

    Disconnect the battery as soon as you can reach it. Inspect the board, connectors, and shields for corrosion, residue, or burned areas.

  5. 5

    Clean Affected Areas

    30 min

    Clean corrosion and residue with 90%+ isopropyl alcohol and a soft brush. Focus on connectors, charging port, and areas under shields.

  6. 6

    Dry Thoroughly

    60 min

    Allow the device to dry completely in a low-humidity area. Silica gel can help, but avoid rice — it leaves dust and does not remove corrosion.

  7. 7

    Test and Assess

    15 min

    Reassemble and test the Motorola Moto Edge 60. If it does not power on or functions are missing, the device may need board-level repair from a professional shop.

After your Motorola Moto Edge 60 water damage repair

Power the Moto Edge 60 back on and test the water damage repair function before you put every screw away. Check touch/display response, charging, cameras, buttons, and wireless as relevant to this repair. If something fails after closing the device, reopen carefully and reseat the connectors for this Motorola Moto Edge 60 job before assuming the part is defective. Keep leftover adhesive and screws labeled in case you need a second pass.
