The liquid damage indicator (LDI) - or as most people know it, the water damage indicator, on a Blackberry Curve is a small tab inside the battery compartment.
All BlackBerry smartphones and batteries have at least one water damage indicator that can indicate even a small amount of liquid damage to a BlackBerry smartphone or battery.
The location of the LDI can vary, depending on the BlackBerry smartphone or battery. However, on the Blackberry Curve it is possible to see it if the back of the phone is taken off. If there has been no damage then the color will be white. Any moisture that has entered the phone will cause it to turn red.
a white square on the housing to the side of the sim card holder - white if ok - red if water damaged
yes it does
There is a sensor on the inside of your phone that turns a different color if it has significany water damage. If this sensor hasn't turned, your warranty is still good.
Take it to the shop you got it from and demand to to see the manager
OK this should work because it worked with my one but my one was not water damage however you might as well try.1. Remove Back Cover case2. Remove Battery3. Blow on the battery on all sides and blow the back of the phone (gently)4. Leave it for about 15-20 minutes or 20-30 minutes5. Put back the battery and the Back Cover Case and it SHOULD NOT DEFINITELY should be finePS: I did that on a blackberry curve 8520 but it should work for the bold as well
There is usually a water damage indicator under the battery. Look for a small circle or square filled with Xes. If the area has changed color (i.e. it's a solid color and the Xes are not visible), your phone has water damage.
A water indicator typically changes color when it comes in contact with water, due to a chemical reaction or material composition. This color change helps to show whether water has entered or affected a device, such as a phone or electronic device, often serving as a warning of potential water damage.
A water level indicator shows how high the water is.
The water damage indicator on most Smartphones is located inside the phone. Firstly, take the back off and look by the battery as this is usually where it is. If it's not, then check at the bottom of the phone for a small white dot. The white dot should stay this colour as long as it has been kept dry. If not then it will turn a pink/red colour indicating water has entered the device.
A water level indicator is used to monitor and control the water level in tanks, reservoirs, or other water storage systems. It helps prevent overfilling or running dry, ensuring efficient water usage and avoiding damage to equipment. It is commonly used in industries, homes, agriculture, and water treatment plants.
I occasionally work with a friend of mine who owns two different mobile phone service repair centers, one being metroPCS and one being t-mobile and in both locations the only thing that we check for water damage is the red dot sticker. Some of these stickers are simply behind the battery other models have them inside of the phone. However there has been instances where I have opened a phone to check the conditions of the water damage sticker only to find it missing and see droplets of water and spots of corrosion inside. Obviously this is water damage and the owner had tried to outsmart the technician (being me). Although there was no sticker for me to verify water damage the owner apparently didn't think that I would notice the water droplets and corrosion.
Apple's policy on water damage is clear. If an iPod or iPhone has been in contact with a liquid, the repair for this type of water damage is not covered by the Apple 1 Year Warranty or even the Apple Care protection Plan. Any iPod's or iPhone that were built after 2006 have a built in water damage indicator which shows whether a liquid has indeed been in contact with the device. If there has been water damage in a phone, it is possible to repair it and eliminate the water using simple, step-by-step methods that have been proven to work.
