- If my phone/tablet is damaged by liquid, should I take it to an HONOR Authorized Service Center to be repaired?
- If your phone/tablet only came into contact with a small amount of fresh water, put your phone/tablet in a well-ventilated environment to dry out the water. However, if there is water deep inside your phone/tablet, this drying method will not work and it may cause damage to the internal components after your phone/tablet is powered on. To reduce possible risks, you are advised to take your phone/tablet and proof of purchase to an HONOR Authorized Service Center for a thorough inspection.
- If a large amount of liquid entered your phone/tablet, please take your device and proof of purchase to an HONOR Authorized Service Center for assistance at your earliest convenience.

Our specialists at the service center will then test whether the phone/tablet has been damaged by the liquid. If it has not been damaged, your phone/tablet will be reassembled. If the phone/tablet has been damaged, it will be sent to be repaired.
Liquid damage is not covered by the warranty. Repair fees will depend on how seriously the phone/tablet is damaged. For example, if the main board or other components are faulty, they may need a replacement.
