Step-by-Step Instructions
Follow these 7 steps to complete your repair
Stop Using the Device
If your OnePlus OnePlus X was exposed to liquid, power it off immediately. Do not charge it or press buttons repeatedly — this can short the logic board.
Remove External Liquid
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.
Open the Device
Disassemble the OnePlus OnePlus X to expose internal components. The sooner the interior is accessible, the better the chance of recovery.
Inspect and Disconnect Power
Disconnect the battery as soon as you can reach it. Inspect the board, connectors, and shields for corrosion, residue, or burned areas.
Clean Affected Areas
Clean corrosion and residue with 90%+ isopropyl alcohol and a soft brush. Focus on connectors, charging port, and areas under shields.
Dry Thoroughly
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.
Test and Assess
Reassemble and test the OnePlus OnePlus X. If it does not power on or functions are missing, the device may need board-level repair from a professional shop.
