Phone "Speaker" is Crackling After Water Exposure
4.5
You dropped your phone in water, and now the music sounds fuzzy and distorted.
Symptoms
- Distorted sound
- Low volume
- Buzzing
Possible Causes
- Water trapped in speaker mesh
- Corrosion
Step-by-Step Fix
1
Play "Water Eject" Sound
Play a high-frequency tone (165Hz) to physically push water out of the speaker.
2
Dry with Gravity
Prop the phone up with the speaker facing down on a towel.
3
Do Not Use a Hairdryer
Heat can damage the screen and push water deeper into the phone.
When to See a Technician
Water in the speaker isn't always a death sentence; it just needs to be vibrated out before it dries and leaves mineral deposits.
