No such thing as a waterproof phone, only water resistant phones.
A small crack or hole can let the water in, even if you cant see it.

Was it just water? How deep is the phone rated.

Most phones arent actually fully water immersion rated. Theyre rated for water to run over it.

ip68. it's an lgg6

it was in the sink for like 10 seconds

At least it wasn't the toilet. That's how I killed my very first cell phone.

no, but this things ingress protection was advertised pretty heavily as being able to be fully submerged and still be fine afterward, even in saltwater.

10 seconds in a sink should not have killed the microphone

Yo OP.

I've been working in a phone repair shop for the last 3 years. Rice won't work; it will make it worse, since you'll still have water in there and rice starch will just as easily screw up your electronics.

Thankfully, LG G6 mic is easily repaired. You can find parts on eBay for real cheap.

https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/LG+G6+Charge+Port+Replacement/101296

While you wait for parts to arrive, get the phone apart and thoroughly dry everything out, otherwise the phone will slowly rust apart from the inside and it will completely die on you in a few weeks or months.

Actually the ip68 rating is listed as fully functioning in up to 6 feet of water and 30 minutes of duration.


I believe that when I see it.

Having a goal is good, but don't let your goal depress you. Goals are meant to inspire.
