What is Liquid Damage?

Liquid Damage refers to any signs of corrosion that may be present in the device on a printed circuit board, component or user interface. In some cases, the liquid damage may not be visible to the naked eye but can be detected with the use of a professional microscope.

Liquid damage causes ?latent damage? to the circuitry. This means that although the device may appear to be operational, there is internal degradation to the circuitry which may result in a failure.
Possible causes of liquid damage may include:
  • Exposure to steam
  • Excessive humidity
  • Rain
  • Immersion in liquid
  • Excessive perspiration
  • Condensation (when moving from a cool or air condi?tioned environment into a warmer, humid environment)
