notrub Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 I just got a samsung J7 pro on contract with AIS. I checked Utube and it showed this phone survived a water splash trial and also lasted 50 seconds being totally immersed in a tank of water. Well, I was not so lucky and my J7 failed after a pretty short dunking in the pond. I took it to the Samsung shop and they came back with a quote of 6,800 THB to repair it. I just ordered a new one from Ladaza for 7,100 and that is OK. But I have this brand new water damaged J7 pro and would like to repair it if I can get it done cheaply. I can send it to any town in Thailand or any country that has a reliable postal service. Any ideas please? Thanks in advance for any help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dddave Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 Did you buy directly from AIS? A friend bought a phone at AIS several years ago. The display became unresponsive 6 months later. She went to the AIS store where she bought the phone and they replaced it, no problem. I think it was a Samsung "J" series but one of the smaller ones; J-2 maybe? BTW, I believe they claim "Water Resistant" rather than "Water Proof" giving themselves a very nice out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notrub Posted February 18, 2018 Author Share Posted February 18, 2018 Thanks I went to the AIS shop and they very politely offered to sell me a new one (11,000 or 12,000 THB). I went to the Samsung shop next door and sent it for an estimate. 6,890 THB (about). I ordered a new one no contract from Ladaza for 7,100 THB. But I still have the broken one and would like to repair it if poss. The water got into the top part. The new series A is waterproof and see a series S on the web that is also waterproof. The A is good for several meters for many hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dddave Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 I had a Xiaomi that fell from my shirt pocket into a toilet...ugh! Fished it out pretty quickly and did all the YouTube stuff: hot rice, hair dryer, ect but nothing worked, dead as a brick. Xiaomi makes no claims of water resistance but I had hopes.
